AZ Archery State Record Rocky Mtn Bighorn Sheep Video

[Jay Scott]

Brian Rimsza had his AZ Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep panel scored today and it ties the current state record at 176 4/8 Official Net and 178 1/8 Gross.  This is a great honor for Brian who is a very accomplished bowhunter and he worked really hard on this hunt and I am very proud of him.  He put in lots of time scouting and was totally prepared for this hunt.  He literally "left it all out on the field" on this hunt.  His goal from the beginning privately was to find a ram that would rival the awesome current state record ram held by another very accomplished archery hunter Barry Sopher.  I have to say that the wind was let out of our sails a bit when both our #1 and #2 rams were harvested on the first hunt.  We thought that the #3 "Long Ram" was going to be very close but we were really worried about the large chip on his left horn.  Check out the awesome video below that our friend Jed Larson produced for Brian of his hunt.  Congrats to Brian and Nicole Rimsza for this accomplishment and thanks for letting me be involved with your adventure!

congrats! I had my dad watch the video earlier tonight and I asked him if he had that tag and saw that ram on the 1st day, if he would shoot him? well he said that he would hold out for a bigger one, and I said that he was smoking something. wait til I tell him it tied the state record, then he will regret what he said (especially cuz I posted what he said). I would shoot that sheep in a heartbeat, you hardly ever see bighorns without brooming like that, CONGRATS AGAIN! fantastic video too
