Any pictures of this beast the article talks about? Did this ever pan out to anything, or did I just miss this somehow? Article and link pasted below: http://www.allaboutexotics.com/2010/08/new-world-record-aoudad/There is news out of SW Texas that a potential new world record aoudad ram may have been harvested near Rocksprings, Tx very recently. The ram is rumored to have horn lengths of 44 inches! Eighty-eight inches of horn coupled w/ even average mass measurements would give the current world records a run for their money, to say the least! The current SCI scoring record is currently held by LeNan Hancock and scores 166 & 6/8″ SCI, while Larry Casey’s 130 & 7/8″ ram tops the charts in the ROE record book (Hancock’s ram is #2 in ROE). If these initial reports are true and this new ram does sport close to 44″ horns, it will most likely shattered both records. Casey’s record ram had 39 & 40 inch horns, while Hancock’s trophy could boast only 39 & 37 inch measurements! This gives some idea just how big this ram could be…44″ is mind blowing! We will keep you posted on any pictures or news about this giant ram as it becomes available.

44 inch horns! I wont believe it until I see it. +1 I've seen pictures of LeNan Hancock's ram and it's unbelievable (If I remember correctly.....somewhere around 350 lbs as well)!! Couldn't imagine a ram with another 5+ inches of horn....

If there arent any pictures or info then it probably isnt true. Heck a 38 incher out of Marfa made the papers then this one should have been all over the place...

I don't see how an Aoudad's horns could get that big. This is my cousin's 36" ram and he was already poking into his side on both sides according to him.

LeNan Hancock's ram had huge scars on both sides of his neck from his horns....

I have personally seen and measured a pick up of a dead one from Pipe Creeka bout 8 or 9 yrs ago that has never been entered in the books that was over 40"+ x 39"+ and scored around 167+ if I remember right. He would have been the new SCI record if entered. There have been 2 current top 10 SCI killed off of this ranch. I have a friend who took a 38"+ x 37"+ there that is number 9 and he took another this last month that is number 10. So they can get that big but it is rare and they have to be very old on top of that. There growth really seems to slow after 6 to 8 yrs of age. But with all of them pics will not be the same as actually seeing them in person.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I would love to see pics of this ram. I don't doubt it could happen, but it sure would be a lot easier to believe with a picture.

jefkut He put it up for sale and never sold. The owner thought that in selling it the new owner would want to enter it under his name. This one was found dead of old age and never shot.

Tidbit here,
Mulie-Mike where are you? Mike hunts in south Texas near Big Bend and has had hunters take some good sheep: come-on Mike give us the specks on your biggest ram?
I hunted with Mike this past Spring and it was a fine hunt: hiking up every moring, spending the day glassing sheep, and MAYBE getting a shot.

Should have all of the measurements in about a week. He was massive and good length so he should score very high up there.

The more days that pass without seeing any picture in the news makes me think its not THAT big. What would you do if you shot a 44 incher? I wouldnt think an "official" measurement would be needed before I said I killed the new SCI record. 44 inches says enough. But anyway. I am fixing to start hunting in that same area again soon. Maybe them hills are holding another.
