Big Montana bighorn

LAST EDITED ON Nov-21-17 AT 06:21PM (MST)[p]

Finally got my hands on him. 202 B&C. Rumor is another one a hair bigger was killed in Montana as well. 2 200+ sheep in one state in one year is pretty impressive!

There was a ram taken by a kid in the breaks that may be the new record for the US. one of the top rams of all time for sure if the green score I heard is correct. I have pictures but I'm not going to say much more until they put their story out however they choose to. I thought they would have by now .

He's a pig that's for sure.

That's the one I referred to as a shade better ocho. Pretty amazing a state produces 2 200+ rams in a season. Someone asked my buddy if he was disappointed someone shot one better than his, his response was "Hell no, I just killed a 200+ ram I'm happy for the kid!" I've seen pics as well, it was scored by someone that knows what their doin rumors I hear are 207-208.

That is the big one, I didn't know they had put pictures out to the public yet. the hunter is from Washington.

I haven't put my hands on it but they say the bases are 19".

Both rams exceptional! Would be nice to see additional views of the second ram.

What a gene pool they had. More to come.
 
From what I can see it appears to me that neither of those rams are super old.
Genes are the name of the game. The Breaks seem to have the recipe for big Rocky Rams.
Those are incredible animals and I'm happy for the lucky hunters.
Thanks for sharing guys.

John posted that those rams with giant bases die young as a rule.

^ haha, right bessy? hammer breaks rams, but I really cant believe some of these numbers aint typos...not necessarily the scores, but the particular weights and measures

19" bases?? 58 lbs???

but then, what the hell would I know about it anyway ;)

do agree on them rams dying at a relatively low age, getting shot notwithstanding...dispersal phenotype, still expanding on the range...living large, dying young

No, 18 " bases. my bad . I have not seen the ram this is what they said.


Last I heard they still think it may be the largest ram ever taken in the US. I didn't get a score but it will be 60 days in a few weeks so the story should be known soon.

Both of those sheep are definite giants. It'll be interesting to see what these two sheep end up scoring. I bet the first one is very close to the 204-205" range like they measured it. The second ram is a giant as well, but I think the first ram will be the bigger of the two. John knows his sheep for sure, but he definitely has a habit of inflating some scores.....the governors tag ram a couple years ago that he scored at 198" ended up at 192".

No question from what I know and have heard, 5-6 inches which is a mile at that class!

I'm guessing GW has held more of those than all the rest of us combined.
58lbs. seems excessive to me as well but what do I know.

Maybe he's a lead head. Either way they are phenomenal creatures!

No question LB when GW is Talking Sheep I'm just smart enough to shut up and listen.

Justin's ram was just officially scored 208 3/8 B&C. there will be a panel scoring of course. ties the world record.

This ram beats the US record by 3".

Not bad.

I don't doubt the 58 lbs.....full skull for sure, just skull cap still believable fresh.
