I just found this and it is the craziest thing ever. It MUST be real because it is on the cover of a high end bootmakers catalog that came in the mail yesterday and I am sure they would never photoshop anything. Roll Eyes

If i just spent tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars to mass mail a large full color catalog around the world, and this happened. I would be pissed!

That's probably why he's brooming way up on the curls so he can see better with that extra, higher set of eyes, LOL! It's also probably why he's a big boy with two sets to watch for danger. I wonder if each set relays the same picture to the brain!

EDIT: I just pulled the flyer from my recycle bin and looked at it closely since I tossed it there without even looking because I didn't need anything from them. The more I look at it now, the more it looks like a photoshop job and the lower spots don't even look like they have eyeballs in them. Very weird!

They are scent glands. This guys are just darker than normal and he is pretty light colored.

Does look freaky at first glance though.

Got to disagree. That is a picture of a ewe with the horns of a big ram super-imposed on top of it. I've been in on the taking of a couple of bighorns and I've never seen one with a two step head. The face of a ewe is fairly slim and lacks the roman nosed look of a big ram.

It's not even a good fake!

I will second the scent glands. Saw similar on a blackbuck here in Texas.

I know they're natural, but I'd be telling the taxidermist to shrink those up.

Just the tear ducts/scent glands/what ever you want to call it. Wow can't believe this generated a topic…………


Way too may too far removed from the beasts on the ground with hands on. When you are caping these animals with four eyes you have to be very careful to keep the ducts intact and not cut them off.

It is a photoshop, you can see the glands below the lower set of eyes. Ram skull on ewe face. Costly ad error!

Just got a call from my taxidermist. Can't believe he is charging me for a second set of eyes.

Arkansaw sheep, you know how you find your date there?

Same goes for sheep down there and now you see what you get

Boys and girls, That is a mature desert ram with more character than anything I've seen in a long time. No photo shop. No 4 eyes. No printing error. Just a fine old ram.
