My friends wife just tagged a real whopper of a bighorn here in CO and we were looking for some records info. Her ram has a net green score of 181 6/8. Does anyone know any possible rams harvested by a woman that would score higher than that? Or does she potentially have the largest ram ever taken by a woman?

Thanks for any info Jeff Helsley

The newest edition of the RMBS newsletter has the top 44 CO rams in the records.

Renee Snider's ram scored 197 1/8 but I believe a rifle was used.

Paula Darner's Ram scored 181 6/8 Officially, but also a rifle kill.

congratulations to your wife. Kris Asbell has a Colorado Bighorn Sheep at 185 1/8

Was Kris Asbell's sheep shot with a bow or a rifle, I did not see it in the Pope & Young records. What year was the ram shot? Are there any other bighorn sheep anywhere larger shot by a woman with a bow, not just Colorado?

Kris Asbell's was a bow kill and is in the Pope & Young records - it was shot in 2008 so it wasn't in the last full book, it was in the last conventions supplement book

I bet she's a winner. Great ram.

The 195 is the "Fort Carson" ram now owned by the CDOW.

I just had a chance to look over this list and it’s quite impressive for Colorado. I have either seen first hand the rams below or know the hunters listed and they are all male.
