 :o  huge ram

Quote
A bighorn sheep killed in a highway collision in Alberta has the largest horns ever recorded for the species. Boone and Crockett Club measurers today certified the specimen as a new World’s Record.

The horns’ final score of 209-4/8 B&C points edged out the previous World’s Record, a ram taken near Luscar Mountain, Alberta, in 2000 that scores 208-3/8.

The new No. 1 ram was hit by a vehicle on a highway west of Longview, Alberta.

That is a monster ram! Sure would have liked to have seen him on the hoof in person.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Wow that is a big set of horns!  :yike: Would have loved to see the entire animal and what it did to the car.  It had to have a Sherman tank of a body to be packing that much headgear.

Incredible, thanks for sharing.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Rumor has it that ram was missed by an archer not long before it was hit on the highway.  If true I bet that guys nightmares are starting all over again this week!! :chuckle:
