Possible New Record Bighorn sheep from Mont.
« on: October 22, 2009, 11:36:50 AM »
Monster Ram From Montana Possibly Largest Ever!

          A lucky hunter with the one coveted non-resident tag in Montana ’s Missouri River Breaks just harvested possibly the largest ram ever taken in the United States ! The ram green scored 205 with both horns stretching to 44 1/2” with over 16” bases and carries the mass throughout the horn length. The ram will be officially scored after the 60 day drying period. If the ram exceeds Jim Weatherly’s 204 7/8 ram taken in 1993 it will be the new Montana state record and will also be the largest ram ever taken in the United States . Pat White was assisted and filmed on the hunt by John Lewton of Whitehall , MT. The two men backpacked in over 10 miles, glassing as they went and found the ram. They shot the ram and carried it out on their backs the 10 miles back to the trailhead. Only gutting out a 20 mile foot march in 90+ degree heat resulted in the harvest of one of the largest rams ever taken.

Looks big to me, but I am no expert.  I'll wait for Pope to chime in on this one...

It's big but I don't know how it's going to grow 3 more inches during the drying period to beat the 208 world record alberta ram...   ;)

Montana is just unbelievable in growing rams.

The way I read it... it didn't state it was a possible world record but instead a US record is more than likely imminent considering the green score.

Fantastic animal.
