Who knew that corn grows big sheep!

Since it's a world record I have to ask, do the African Aoudad scored on the same standards?

Based on the 101 questions you might have a career opportunity as a Aoudad consultant. My boy is in TX so I may be asking for help in planning a free range hunt.

Congrats and great mount.

I recken I don't know much about that critter but it looks cool.

 

[pseshooter300]

They are a cool looking animal that I would like to hunt one day free range

Well done on a great trophy! What are the actual measurements on length and mass?

Very awesome, a new world record! Congratulations!

The definition for world record aoudad that I have heard is #1, SCI, TGR and ROE, but SCI and TGR apply to animals all over. For ROE it has to be an exotic to get in the book, but the scoring procedure can be done on a native. I never heard of a big one in Africa even though aoudad's are from North Africa, though I've not looked in the latest TGR or SCI books either.
