That thing is "sick"!
The kids tell me that "sick" means "good".
Why don't they just say "good"?

LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-15 AT 07:24PM (MST)[p]I got a pic and official green score sent to me back in I believe mid October and remember wondering if it would stick. I think Oak's pic is 1st official after drying no? Then you always wonder if they'll survive the panel, but it looks like Garth's original measurement nailed it.

You hear about these "potential WR" almost every year these past few with all the giant deadheads AB finds, glad to see one finally make it...what a monster!

edit**--- that set of horns must weigh close to 45 lbs

LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-15 AT 02:01AM (MST)[p]ha, I thought this ram was the cadomine p/u, which I think ended up at 205+, this one was hit by a vehicle on the road. I had not heard of this one, man you gotta love Alberta.

What you say Adam, we need to hunt this area one day eh.

Magnificent ram.

It's sweet that records can still be broken.
It gives us all something to dream about.
Amazing animal.

Here's proof that you don't need a sleek, light, fancy, high-tech sheep rifle to kill a ram! It was probably just a standard, old, slow car that killed this ram. ha
Fine trophy but I wish it had been taken by a regular old hunter instead of a vehicle.

Biologist Kathreen Rucksthul actually spent time trying to figure out why the rams spent most of their time away from the ewes except during the rut??? Really??? Isn't this obvious to males of every species? LOL

(don't tell my wife I said this. I don't need any more nut-cracking) ha
