California Bighorn State Record for WA?
« on: November 04, 2009, 06:42:36 AM »
Does anyone have information or a link to the state record entries for California Bighorn sheep?  I'm looking for information that'll tell me what the minimum score is for the yearly book as well as a breakdown of the top 10 Cali's in WA.

Thanks in advance.

there's a post on a different thread saying the record is 164 and change

Thanks, guys.  Hunted with a couple of lucky dogs yesterday in the Clemans unit and we knocked down a monster.  Green scored him and it looks like he'll go over 165.  Won't know for sure until it's official.

I know, I know.....pics.  This wasn't my hunt and won't post pics unless I get approval from the hunter. 

Stay tuned.

Thanks for the Top 10 breakdown.  They were getting him plugged today and in to the freezer asap.  I guess we'll see. 

Sorry about the lack of pics, guys--I know it's part of the Ten Commandments around here.

Are those gross or net records?  That ram probably won't net well.

It doesn't give net or gross it only has the measurements and Final Score.

Interesting that the #1 only has a spread credit of 20 7/8, almost 4" shorter than #2 and 5" shorter than #3

I don't know why they even list spread on sheep since it doesn't count in the final score :dunno:

Pretty sure those are net scores pope. Looks like they're using B&C score sheets with the deductions. I could be wrong though.

Net is bs with sheep.  I like the spread measurement because it helps to visualizE the ram and guess mass.

Yeah, supposedly they won't go over the ridge top and mingle with other herds...lol.  They are trying to work out the cali influence in that herd but I'm not sure how that's coming.

Most sheep have little difference between gross and net score compared to other species since only the differences in circumferences (and not lengths) are deductions. 

If all goes as planned a Rocky transplant will occur in the Tucannon later this winter.

I know this is a very old thread, but here is some info... there are now a few to add from the last few years, and even a couple from earlier than 2009.

http://www.nwbiggame.com/top_10.cfm

If you enter Washington and California Bighorn sheep you will see the top ten.



1) - 182 6/8
 2) - 181 0/8
 3) - 177 6/8
 4) - 177 5/8
 5) - 175 4/8
 6) - 174 7/8
 7) - 173 3/8
 8) - 173 2/8
 9) - 167 6/8
10) - 166 5/8

Have it officially scored at one of the Sportsmens shows or by an official measurer. I think Bow4Elk Tom Ryle is/was a measurer, then I think you pay the $20 and have it entered?
Something along those lines.

Aaron Roth's CA bighorn from the Swakane unit (Chelan County) rifle 2010 was reportedly a World Record. Seems like his ram would be the State Record as well.  The ram taken this year from the Swakane is nearly as big.  Here are photos of Aaron's ram.

 Those records posted are from the Northwest Big Game Record Book that is at the Puyallup Sportsmen's Show every winter. If it's not measured and recorded there it won't be in their book. I'm sure there are bigger and better out there than what's listed in their books but that's what they go by. It's a lot easier and cheaper to get it in the NW book than the Boone and Crockett. I put my bear in there but I don't think I'll put it in B&C just because of all the hoops you have to jump through and the extra money. By the way, I think the NW Big Game Book is represented at most of the sportsmen shows around the NW. I think they cover CA, Ore, Id, and WA.

I think Aarons record will hold in Washington forever.  Unless for some reason they close a unit down again for several years.   Every ram that is even potentially as big is accounted for and tagged in short order.

B&C and P&Y do not recognize Cali Sheep as a seperate species is why, only SCI and individual states do.

I agree.

I doubt that record will ever be broken in Wa.

I think Aarons record will hold in Washington forever.  Unless for some reason they close a unit down again for several years.   Every ram that is even potentially as big is accounted for and tagged in short order.

You know it... It's going to sit at the top of the pile for a looooong time. :tup:
