Henry Taylor Posted January 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) This made my day! This morning in the "Valley Of Fire NV' I came across an ewe and I was sure that there had to be a Ram close by since it's the mating season. Sure enough I spotted one" The last shot they were running off together. Welcome, dear visitor!

Herr Barnack Posted January 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 22, 2022 Truly great images, @Henry Taylor - well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Taylor Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Thanks Barnack and for 87 I can still keep up with the younger guys. 💪😷 It wasn't too long ago instead of a camera I used a 270. Here are two more to look at. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Idawhat Posted January 23, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 23, 2022 Really good images Henry. I find shooting with a camera more rewarding than using a rifle or bow. I was once a hunter using a rifle (7mm ) then switched to a recurve bow. Down in Colorado I'd backpack into a desert canyon and camp overnight. Come morning the canyon rim would come alive with Big Horn Sheep. I can fully understand your joy in seeing these animals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you for the nice comment. I too use to hunt with a recurve but only tried Upland Game Pheasant hunting using fufu arrows. My new dog Jake gets spooked when I tried training under fire. Oh well, We love hime just the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idawhat Posted January 23, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 23, 2022 It's funny how some dogs are gun-shy. I had a springer that was that way. I enjoy a good recurve bow with wooden arrows. How close did you get to the sheep you photographed? The images are so good. Looks like they were not alarmed by your being there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Taylor Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Bill, The shots were taken with a 100-600mm Sigma at 600 mm . They actually were easy to get close to since the herds are living in a protected Sate Park and are use to seeing humans. My arrows I used were wooded too. It wasn't always easy hitting a Phoesant in flight. The flu flu arrows had a large cluster of feather instead on the normal set. Good thing because if you miss you would never be able to find your arrow. . The fluflu arrow would only go about 20-30 yards. I had a Bear recurve 70 lbs., wouldn't think of using a compound, that's for women 😷 Edited January 24, 2022 by Henry Taylor added comment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 24, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 24, 2022 A terrific set. I had wondered if you used your long Sigma, which I see you did. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu to give you a little more perspective this shot was taken at 100mm as the rest were at 600mm Welcome, dear visitor!
