Alberta Big Horn Sheep Sets Record

We all know that Alberta is a hunters paradise with some of the hunting in the world. In fact, Boone and Crockett Club list that Alberta is home to the four records in this category. Now add the world record to Alberta’s trophy case! This recent sheep that was just killed by a vehicle was measured and confirmed at 209 4/8″.

The rancher had watched the 14 year-old ram for years come down from the mountains to lick road salt and always wondered if it would be the last time. Unfortunately the ram was killed by a vehicle. You sort of wonder what that vehicle must look like after this collision. The Calgary Sun has the rest of the story here.
