Really cool that is my dream to complete the North American Ovis slam. Where did he get all the bighorns? I’m guessing Mexico, Canada, and Texas?

Not sure what the auction tags bring.

To answer some questions...
Everything has been shot with his Mathews Monster.
As he's getting older, he said he's had to turn his bow down a bit and is pulling 58lbs now.
(Last year - he tore his deltoid and wasn't sure if he would be able to pull back his bow. I asked him if he was going to hunt with a crossbow or rifle and he said "never". That he would quit hunting altogether if he can't shoot his bow anymore.)
He is truly a driven person. He has retired now, but nobody would dare use that word around him.
No doubt, the drive and determination it takes to make the fortune it takes to do this many sheep hunts is the same drive and determination that makes him so good at taking mountain sheep.
I'm told there are some people who can make things happen, others who watch things happen, and some who wonder what happened. If you're going to hunt sheep multiple times, it's pretty clear which type you'll need to be.
Starting on the top row - left to right...
Dall - Gana River Outfitters in British Columbia
Rocky - Sheep Show auction (Governor's tag), NM
Stone's - Sheep Show auction (Minister's Tag), British Columbia
Desert - Carman Island Mexico
Middle Row...
California - (also counts as a Rocky in the Grand Slam)
Rocky - Sheep Show auction (Governor's tag), NM (Shot this one last year - scored 192 7/8" - I believe he said it was a record for the state with archery.)
