Shared over in the ‘Hunting Montana‘ group, a proud Roger Sanford couldn’t help but brag about his wife, Laura–and for good reason! She put in the work, made a perfect shot, and dropped an absolute giant bighorn sheep sporting 40” curls, 16.5” bases, and a green score of 190 3/8. Roger guessed the ram tipped the scales somewhere around 250–275 pounds, with just the horns and skull weighing nearly 40 pounds, the cape around 25, and close to 100 pounds of meat.
Excellent work, Laura!
