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.
I don't know his name but that guy was in dozens of pics with big dead animals on the wall of the Little Waldorf both at the old place on 5th St. and the current one on No Virginia in Reno. Legend.
