Check out this huge Stone sheep taken by Donald South in British Columbia:

Isn't that a beautiful animal? He was a runner up for the 2009 Carlo Caldesi Award for that sheep. You can see why.

That's one heck of a sheep!

Dang....that thing must have had a constant neck ache......what a monster!

Might evn shoot him on the first day, maybe

That's very funny. I'd shoot him in the first five minutes.
That's a ram of a lifetime.

That is a beauty, they don't come much bigger.In 93 I was hunting a ways north of where that ram was shot and spotted a ram that would rival this one. A real trophy of a life time. A huge hail storm, and a very dangerous land slide interrupted the stalk and darkness fell before finishing the stalk. never saw that ram again.

Dagga Boy, I just re-read the post. At first hasty read I thought you did shoot it. Do you happen to know how wide it was with flares like that?

That ram and story was the cover on one of the recent Eastman's Hunting Journal April/May 2009 Issue 112.

Within the article, it reported the rigth horn length was 44-5/8 and the left was 45-7/8 with bases of 13-6/8 and 13-7/8. The greatest spread at 29-2/8 inches. It also stated it was one of the largest rams taken in the last two decades.

Thanks for the details, graybird. That was more information than I had at my fingertips.

And Sevenxbjt, I WISH I'd shot him. I'll try to find out how much he flares.

Chilcotin hillbilly, that's a tough story. Maybe one day you'll get back up there and run into one like him.

Good luck.
