...of the new #5 all-time Cali taken by a good friend of mine last week. It's a pig, 37x15 and carries its weight all the way through. Grosses 180. He hunted 22 days and passed over 120 rams. Southern BC draw. Well done Brian!

PS - I ain't postin' them on here either! :tongue::tongue::tongue:

Must be false, proof is in the pudding.
Strange to post it but not have the pic's on board.
Boy I would love to see an area with 120 legal Rams to pass up on.........?
Congrats to who ever I guess, sure would like to see the pics though if it's true.

In no GOS, then there should at least be a few more LEHs handed out. Even the G/O said the residents are getting the shaft.:???:

BTW F/D..those bases are 15 6/8"..and I thought you were a numbers guy:biggrin:.

Beauty ram for sure!!! And well deserved!!

Said 120 rams not 120 legal rams. But either way a ton of sheep for sure.

Hehehe, I've got the pics on my work computer, so I can't even cut a lil teaser out for ya tonight! It's extremely legal, well past the 3/4 curl requirement on the Cali draws. He saw 120 rams - likely some of the same ones on different days. He even got some video before he shot it - solo hunt too! This guy would amaze most of you with the video he takes of animals that most of us would be putting on the ground as soon as we saw them!

Blaze away boys, we should get a few pages full! :mrgreen:

Teaser....Enough hype already!
I am surprised SSS hasn't put them up yet, he's the real sheep nut......

BTW if I recall I think the area he was drawn is for any ram, he definately held out and hunted hard for this whopper.:eek:

Who wants some pics......we'll see I am leaving work in 10 minutes.

I hate it when people tease so I had to ruin your moment FD.....Maybe you can tease us next week with some moose pics from our hunt then.

This ram is an absolute stud....makes mine look like a peanut.

Congrats to B.H.!

O my god here we go again if you remeber back when it was a GOS any ram that was over 4 years old was a grandad ram ,there was hunters everywere sheep running around like chickens ,not what I would call a quality sheep hunt.All most like it was back in the Keetle Valley hunting whitetail in the late rifle season.

Granted, my BC book is a few years old, but here are the top 5 California Bighorn Sheep that it lists:

1. 191 5/8
2. 189 2/8
3. 184 2/8
4. 183 1/8
5. 176 5/8

So, this ram grosses 180 and has little for deductions, and should settle in at about #5.

Don't forget..there's a new #1.

Saw another ram tonight. Same region.
6 1/2 yr old ......162" ish.

It's a good time to be a sheep hunter.

Neighbouring G/O took a (supposed)16 yr old ram this year.
Don't know who aged it:?.

I am not sure if this ram is even going to be entered in the book. I am going to lay hands on it tonight, apparently the pics don't do it any justice.

The hunter took some neat video before he killed the ram aswell.

One other highlight is that he wasn't carrying an elk tag but ran into two different six points with cows during his 22 day hunt.
