luvdemcoues Report post Posted September 22, 2010 A guy I work with has been looking for an official scorer for Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. Sad story, he had it scored legit at Bass Pro right after the drying period. Measured right at 180". He gets a call back from the scorer Bass Pro brought in a while later, said even though he was an official scorer, he had not been certified for Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep and his score of 180" would not count. By this time the sheep had shrunk an inch or so more and now he doesn't get the record books. Anyways, he is now looking to have it oficially scored. Any help would be great. Here is a pic of him and his sheep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted September 22, 2010 Sorry to hear about the situation. At least he will make the Awards book and the Arizona Wildlife Trophies. My only question is if he hasn't been re-scored by an official measurer, how do you know he has shrunk an inch? Measure him up again and submit what he got. Score is not the end of the world. That is a beautiful ram that many people will never have the opportunity to hunt, nevermind kill one that is that huge! Tell your buddy to enjoy the memories from the hunt and the ram for what it is and forget about the score. It's only a reference anyways. Tough break, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvdemcoues Report post Posted September 22, 2010 I know. But the ram deserves the recognition. After the drying period, he placed the horns in the garage. He can only guess that it shrunk more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat Report post Posted September 28, 2010 Just want to point out a few things. As far as I know, ALL Boone and Crockett Official Measurers are certified to measure ALL N. American Big Game, according to their website. I can also tell you that shopping for another measurer once the animal has been scored by an Official Measurer is frowned upon by the Club. Maybe he was not B&C but some other Club. If an Official Boone and Crockett Scoresheet was never filled out by the guy at the Bass Pro, then I would recommend contacting Amanda from this site or any of the other B&C measurers in the State. Bill Keebler is a member of B&C and the ADBSS and has measured many sheep for sure. Either way, get him measured by someone from Boone and Crockett and let us know how it goes. Good Luck, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck, Nick Wish that was the case but that is not true. Some can only measure particular animals. Kind of stupid but that's the way it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
