Hi Gents,
these days I found two old (Polaroid-) Pictures in a box, with the alleged world recod on dall sheep.
I got the pics from a taxidermy in the early 80is.
191 Boone + Crocket Points , a little bit more than Harry Swanks sheep from 1961.
I can't remember about more circumstances.
Maybe one of you are interested on the pics and knows more.

That is one hell of a Sheep.
World Record or not.
 
Great sheep. Period! Bruce
 
That ram is a real stud for sure. Would be cool to hear the story on it
 
Beautiful trophy. Thanks for sharing the photos
 
That is amazing.... thanks for sharing.
 
Heavy and long, a dream ram!
 
Close cousins, if they are not the same sheep.

there definitely has to be one
 
Beautiful dall Foxi.
 
It's amazing how animals will sit put where they know they won't be hunted. It isn't a shadow of that picture, and there isn't a ram to be seen but this is in the Rockies in a national park. They'll sit 30 yards away and stare at you, head outside the park and they practically run before they see you.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
