Friday, Oct. 31, the opening day of North Dakota's bighorn sheep season, and Schmitz, of Grand Forks, had been lucky enough to draw one of the eight tags available in 2025 for the once-in-a-lifetime hunt.
Schmitz shot the unofficial new record Oct. 31, a massive ram with horns that green-scored 197 6/8 inches, a measurement that won't be official until after the mandatory 60-day drying period.
