For the last few years I've been taking in these giant aoudad rams from the Chinati Mtns in West Texas and man are they huge! Just wondering if anyone else deals with these giant skins. I've been down there a few times and killed a few and when you put the tape to them you really can't believe what it reads. The ram my daughter killed this year had a 51 inch chest girth and a 62 inch belly. Getting a little tired of altering mannikins! Would love to see a company come out with a few giant forms that have that massive head and muzzle. I must say that when they are done they do look pretty bad-ass mounted! I've mounted aoudad from different areas in Texas and they don't even look like the same specie.

I have a few kill pics but I don't know how to post them. The ram my daughter shot was almost 33 inches. Can I email a few pics to anyone?

I started this post just to see if anyone knew of any other companies making big forms. I have seen that mannikin from Jetz Supply but it's only in one position and it's still a little on the small size. I must say, that when my daughter shot her ram I was a pretty proud dad! She smoked him at 253 yards and our guide had her by the leg so she couldn't fall off the cliff we were on. I've been very luck to be on a few sheep hunts around the world and this one holds a very special place in my heart to have been able to share this with my daughter. I have some more great pics of her with the ram but don't know how to post them. I really have to learn this computer crap! If anyone wants any great close-up ref pics let me know and I can send them out. Rich B....Thanks for posting those pics for me.
