LETTER FROM THE TROPHY OWNER:

The Big. Hom Sheep skull was picked up on the bank of the Thompson River in British Columbia in the late 1960's by a Steelhead fisherman.

He kept it till the late 1980's then passed it on to another Steelhead fisherman who was a friend of mine. My friend knew that I hunted sheep and would like to have the horns.

In the fall of 1999 there was a knock on my door and my friend gave the horns to me as he wasn't interested in getting them mounted.

During the next several years I continued to look for a suitable cape to get the head mounted. I also had to get the head compulsory inspected by the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch to verify that I was the owner.

After the necessary paperwork I acquired a suitable cape. Then in 2012 I finally had the head mounted so it could be properly displayed.

Finally, I had it officially scored. 200 2/8 from Spences Bridge

Wow that's a cool story and what an awesome Ram...

Good on you for getting it mounted, a Ram of that quality should be displayed, even better coming from Spences Bridge.

The one found this spring in the fire is even bigger. Got to see it person at the MOE office.
So rams of this size still live in the area.
