Texas Top 10 Rams | | Just in case you have any doubts about the quality of rams being taken in Texas we would like to introduce you to the “Top Ten” Texas bighorns as listed in the Boone and Crockett Club records as of February, 2009. There are also some other rams taken that might fall into this category that have not been entered into the record books. (The dates listed reflect the date they were entered into the record books and in some cases may not be the same year they were harvested.) |
