Possible NEW world record Big Horn Sheep
      #307040 - 31/10/17 12:26 AM

I have heard mention of a possible new world record Big Horn Sheep taken here in Montana..rumor has it at 208 2/8ths B&C...

Will check with some friends today to see if I can grab a photo or two

If true, the really cool part is allegedly it was shot by a teenager while hunting with his father..

Kid is ruined for life..

LOL - nice ram!

Saw one in Jasper years ago, 15 yards from me, with horns broomed off at his eyes, as normal. What was not normal, was they were both 3" in diameter on the top of the broom.

Absolutely massive horns.

A picture of this ram would be appreciated.

Found these on a google search. 209 4/8" is tops, by the looks of these, with 209 1/8" and a few 208's under now.

1st 2014: picked up kill - Alberta. 209 1/8th - beats previous 208 3/8's

209 4/8's
Armed with flexible steel measuring tapes, the expert judges carefully examined the Longview horns — and when they were finished, a new record of 2094/8 inches had been set.

Apparently the NEW world record comments were a bit over zealous

Must be a new Montana record ???

I saw a pic of it last week..trying to get in touch with the guy..

18" plus bases... monster..

Yes huge. Might be a Montana record - that is what I thought might be the case.

G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for sharing Ripp and Daryl.
Most impressive animals, with horn weight, all the way to the tips.
I can see why people get addicted to hunting them.

Doh!
