Title: 200" Bighorn Ram...
Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 16, 2007, 10:21:34 AM: I am going to post a great picture of a 200" ram here on Monday or Tuesday. Why not post it now? I haven't taken it yet. I am leaving today to my annual rut photo grounds to take huge ram pictures. Have I seen this ram before? Yeah, I've followed his progress for the last 10+ years. Now the pressure is on, can I get something good. Will I even find him? We shall see...

And the better question is, how come I'm not going with you?

LOL

Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 19, 2007, 10:18:25 PM: Maybe not the best angle to accentuate his length. He is long, comes up way past the nose. He was fun to shoot.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 20, 2007, 06:29:16 AM: Here is another interesting ram. He is long with his lamb tips still on, he must not like to fight...

Post by: boneaddict on November 20, 2007, 06:57:51 AM: Cool Pics. I don't think I have ever seen a ram with that length and size that wasn't chunked up or back from fighting. That ought to put Ramslam into shock when he gets out his tape measure.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 20, 2007, 07:00:52 AM: I got some huge broomed off rams also...but you'll have to wait until tonight or so...
Title: Re: 200" Bighorn Ram...
Post by: boneaddict on November 20, 2007, 07:06:37 AM: Sounds good, I'm, sure it will be worth the wait. Thanks for taking the time to downsize them babies as well, it makes us dial-up users VERY happy.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 20, 2007, 07:15:39 AM: Ok, I had time for one more this morning of the big ram.

Post by: GoldTip on November 20, 2007, 07:55:07 AM: That is truly an incredible ram. Thank you!

Post by: cohoho on November 20, 2007, 10:00:48 AM: I am drooling! Man a big boy like without being broomed, either he is the only stud in town or backs away from the fights... I know where he'd look good... Hee Hee...

Title: Re: 200" Bighorn Ram...
Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 27, 2007, 06:18:32 PM: Every time I look at the picture, it amazes me how big he is. Believe it or not I think I've seen bigger... So, I think I lived up to my goal of a 200" ram for this topic...however, I did not see a 200" mule deer as I had thought. It was a down year for mule deer where I shoot. I'm trying to find some time to go back but gas prices and a partner are lacking... Oh well, next year maybe.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on April 11, 2008, 09:44:20 AM: I know this is an older post but I wanted to bring attention to the newest addition of Eastmans Hunting Journal and the cover shot. It was shot by Tony Bynum and is one of the most amazing ram shots I've ever seen. Tony and I shot this ram back in November. It's the same ram in a couple of the shots I posted on this thread. Of course Tony's shot of this ram turned out spectacular.

If you would like to see other shots from Tony I know he is starting a Smugmug site where you may be able to purchase this shot. I am thinking of getting him to send me a 11x17 or something and framing it for my office. I haven't asked him if he is able to sell this shot because of the cover but he has many spectacular shots you can see at these websites. Congrats Tony!

Post by: Red Dawg on April 13, 2008, 11:59:09 AM: A couple of the bucks at least one in particular look very familiar to me. You must get to go with him while he shoots. That would be fun.
Title: Re: 200" Bighorn Ram...
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on April 13, 2008, 12:14:20 PM: I got the magazine a week or so ago.
Title: Re: 200" Bighorn Ram...
Post by: popeshawnpaul on April 13, 2008, 12:32:51 PM: I think Tony has offered to take people out shooting with him on MM before. He's a real down to earth guy and you can learn a lot from him by just shooting next to him. If you ever get over to the Glacier Park area with a camera I would suggest shooting him a message. I can say that I've known or met quite a few outdoor photographers over the years. Most of them work alone for a reason...they aren't very personable. Some can be downright rude and most have a large ego. Tony is one of the few exceptions to that rule.
