Kinda interesting how many of the Bighorn records are relatively recent and the Stone's sheep are fairly old.
Alot of areas are way down in quality for Stones. Back in the days that many big rams were taken there was very minimal resident pressure and outfitters offered alot longer hunts(in most cases close to twice as long) and traveled alot more country.
As for the bighorns the opening of some new seasons hasnt hurt the chance of a record book head as well as the starting of new herds in a few areas such as Montana with limited hunting.
