Some book, I can't remember which one, had stories of NV bighorn hunts with this guy in a lot of the pics. And he died young.
Interesting that they gutted that ram, most everyone now skins 'em from the top down for a full body mount. There was a time a full body cape for a Desert sheep was worth a lot, I sold mine but didn't get the big bucks.
Great pics, guys!
Rus, I believe his name was Jim Lathrop, a local legend at the time , met him once in the boondocks around the Sheldon antelope range. He was scouting for deer, that area was a mecca for huge mulies back then and I understand he did a lot of guiding. I believe he committed suicide after he lost his dog.... that was the story through the grapevine anyhow
Maybe Salmonella will give us some input.
If that's a NV Desert ram it's gotta be high in the record books.
