BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEASURING SHEEP
Measurements must be made with a flexible steel tape and recorded to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. To simplify addition,
please enter fractional figures in eights and in proper fractions:
A. Greatest Spread is measured between perpendiculars, at right angles to the center line of the skull.
B. Tip to Tip Spread is measured between tips of horns.
C. Length of Horn is measured from lowest point in front, on outer curve, to a point in line with tip. DO NOT press tape into
depressions. The low point of the outer curve of the horn is considered to be the low point of the frontal portion of the
horn, situated above and slightly medial to the eye socket (not on the outside edge of the horn). Use a straight edge,
perpendicular to horn axis, to end measurement.
Drying Period: To be eligible for entry in the Records, a trophy must first have been stored under normal room temperature and
humidity for at least 60 days after date of kill. No trophy will be considered which has been altered in any way from its natural
state.

6.
Helpless in a trap, deep snow or water, or on ice.

respect for wildlife, the environment, and for other individuals who share in bowhunting.
I hereby certify that this trophy was taken in accordance with the ‘Rules of Fair Chase’:
