Big Dan Moore?
Nope, turns out it was a young, first-time sheep hunter. Unfortunately, he is "not into sheep hunting", and doesn't really realize what he killed. He got help from outfitter John Lewton. You know him?
Pictures soon....

Stud of Ram right there. Over 200? 
wow.
I wonder what happens when he gets into sheep hunting?
Was this the Super tag holder?

No, it was a new resident of Montana...and his first time putting in the draw for sheep.
I don't know the score yet, but the long horn is 44", short horn is 40", bases ~18" and first quarters over 17". It's gotta be over 200", I think.

What an animal. Very nice!
The ram greened at 204 4/8".
Right: 41 x 17 4/8 x 17 x 15 2/8 x 9 7/8 = 100 5/8
Left 44 2/8 x 17 4/8 x 17 x 15 2/8 x 9 7/8 = 103 7/8
Total= 204 4/8" green
It will likely end up being 8th or 9th all time, depending on shrinkage. Only one bigger ram has been killed in the U.S., Weatherly's ram at 204 7/8", killed in 1993.

Another one, a lady from Billings shot one over 200" as well. Not sure which unit though.

Holy sheep shit Batman. What a ram!
Just a note, I sent these pics to the local FWP biologist and he said the initial numbers were a bit padded. When he checked the critter the long side went 42 6/8" and bases right at 16". Awesome critter. It will be interesting to find out what this guy scores in the end....or if we will ever know.

Not being a Sheep Hunter, I am always amazed by the Body size of these great creatures. John
