South Dakota Bighorn Sheep Confirmed New World Record

Montana Bighorn Sheep Confirmed New B&C World's Record

A special Boone and Crockett Club judges panel has declared a bighorn sheep from Montana as the new world's record with a final score of 216-3/8 inches, surpassing the previous world-record ram by nearly 7 inches.

Pending World Record Ram

A possible new archery world record desert bighorn sheep was taken recently in—of all places—southern California. On December 20, 2011, Brett Scott arrowed a ram that green scores 180 7/8 inches on the Pope and Young measurement system. The horns measure 35 1/2 and 37 inches in length with 16 1/2-inch bases. If, after the 60-day mandatory drying period, the horn shrinkage is less than an inch, Scott’s ram will be a new world record for archery desert bighorn.
