I don't think Tony is a writer, but one hell of a photographer. He had lots of photos in there. The photo on the cover however is unbeatable, just like his Grizz pic a couple issues ago. Many of you have seen the ram, but I thik these two shots are WAY better.

Post by: Finalshot on June 04, 2008, 09:19:44 PM: Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad that you guys like the shot of the billy, even though some dont believe it is. That's okay, Montana is not known for it's stellar goats.

That shot was taken last year, early spring after a 15 mile one way trek, and I was alone, well except for the a few grizzly shots, one of which was in the sheep issue of fair chase (also an issue I have the cover of). I'm glad the Boone and Crockett club chose it for the cover. The other shots in the magazine came from different areas than did the cover shot.

The mule deer buck shot was sold by "images on the wildside" a stock agency owned by a good friend of mine, and world class photographer who shoots a lot of material for cabelas, Denver Bryan.

Thanks again for your congratulations and support.

Wait until the 2009 Boone and Crockett calendar comes out, I think you'll all like it too. . .

Post by: Finalshot on June 04, 2008, 09:48:38 PM: Hey Dman, great to hear from you too!

I would post the cover shot, but I my scanner is giving me grief. BTW, the cover shot came from the Great Bear Wilderness area here in Montana. . .

Post by: popeshawnpaul on June 04, 2008, 10:33:15 PM: No Timber. That's one honey hole I haven't been to. Tony only takes me to the goat spots infested with ticks because he knows I can't stand them... I think he offered up the spot if I would give up my first born, but I wasn't willing to do that for a goat. Now if it was a sheep spot... :)

In all seriousness, it's a great shot. For me, I always look at the hair or feathers when looking for a quality picture. On Tony's cover shot, you can see the individual goat hairs and it's sharp. That makes a photo a great photo.

Post by: boneaddict on June 04, 2008, 10:37:29 PM: My thoughts exactly. even about the ticks. :)
Basically its what your eye would see standing right in front of this magnificent creature. PERFECT.

If we get bored this fall...YEAH RIGHT, we should go check on the NE corner boys Pope. I bet there are some hawgs up tehre that need their pictures taken. Or....those Vulcan Mtn ones.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on June 04, 2008, 11:12:16 PM: Tony has my sheep book with the "hall" rams. I'm willing to bet there is a MEGA ram up there somewhere... See, this is why I'm not going to get any late season deer hunting done this year. Distractions distractions.

Actually, I was thinking a little about SE Oregon for a trip. No way I'm paying for the gas alone on that trip...
Title: Re: Congrats Finalshot
Post by: boneaddict on June 04, 2008, 11:24:57 PM: I bet there is too if the cats haven'tgot them all. I no nothing of the SE corner boys. John Day has some big ones, but lots of private land issues with them. Might not be too bad if they now you are packing a camera versus a gun. I need to get one of these fancy pieces of glass bought before I do too much of anything. There's a wildlife refuge down there I want to hit in November as well for big bucks. Too bad November isn't two months long.

That first one looks like the calm before the storm, lol
Title: Re: Congrats Finalshot
Post by: Finalshot on June 05, 2008, 01:03:28 PM: Actually, that grizzly did in fact put the chase on those sheep. I backed out and was able to capture a few far off images of the bear chasing the sheep, very awesome experience!

Thanks for the kind words. . . These are from this morning. . . Enjoy. . .

Title: Re: Congrats Finalshot
Post by: popeshawnpaul on June 06, 2008, 11:22:03 AM: Tony has the talent. I'm just a lawyer having fun shooting a few pictures. You only see a drop in the bucket for what a guy like Tony shoots every year. You can see a lot more on their personal websites. He shoots thousands of great photos that may never get published. Some of his landscape work of the Glacier Natl. Park is amazing stuff. I hope he adds that to his website so some of you can see it.

Post by: boneaddict on June 08, 2008, 08:03:33 AM: I've been a fan of Tony's for a long time, since the first picture of his I've seen. They've done more to help me with photography, Pope included, than they could ever imagine. Pushing that bar up and up. Looking at a scene. Its just a fun hobby to me, but to some of these guys its their life. They are also very helpful when i've got questions. Thanks guys.
