Thought it would be impossible to do
« on: September 24, 2012, 03:10:00 PM »
This guy is a sheep hunting machine.  Name is Jim Hens.  He already hold the Worlds Records for Desert sheep and Stone's Sheep and he just went an arrowed another  World Record Bighorn with his Missouri Breaks tag at 202 and 7/8.    I' don't care to hear all of the hoopla as far as being wealthy and being able to afford some premium tags vs. the "do-it-yourselfer"    To kill any of the North American sheep with a bow is an awesome feat.  To kill a record book animal is another several rungs up the ladder.  To kill 3 of the 4 North American rams that are world's records is unimaginable.   If I was a betting man, I'd bet his next tag purchase will be the Kluane First Nations Dall sheep tag and go a perfect 4 for 4.

Amazing looking animal!

Great accomplishment I am sure he worked hard for all three, and I can't help noticing that he shoots a sweet Carbon Matrix.
