“WORLD RECORD WILD HORSE ISLAND RAM” Photograph on Metal by John Lewton
John took this photograph while this amazing world record Bighorn Sheep ram was still alive. This bighorn ram spent its life on Flathead Lake’s Wild Horse Island and boasts the largest horns ever recorded for the species. The ram, which wildlife biologists aged at 9 years old, died of natural causes and was discovered in the fall of 2016. The posthumous mass and girth of its full-curl horns and skull are an indication of the animal’s epic size in life. The horns’ final score of 216-3/8 Boone and Crockett points. John Lewton is an extremely talented self-taught sculptor who is known for his ability to place movement in the pieces he sculpts. John’s love of wildlife has taken him to some wonderful places and helped him with his art. In 1985 john made Montana his home. www.johnlewtonsculptures.com We thank John for his donation.
