Congratulations are in order for Pam Zaitz, who took a desert bighorn in Mexico that may just be the new muzzleloader world record. Take a moment to check out the photo of Zaitz’s ram on our online Trophy Gallery. This ram green-scored 179 SCI and is awaiting final scoring but is expected to nudge out the current SCI World Record of 177 2/8. You’ll note an unusual bump on the ram’s nose, when you see the photo. That is an abscess caused by a 1¼-inch thorn embedded in the animal’s nostril. Zaitz is, by the way, the founder, president and occasional model of SHE Safari, which designs and manufactures women-specific hunting apparel.
Zaitz hunted with Luis Romero of Desert-Hunt. If this outfitter sounds familiar, it’s because we recently featured another report on him from subscriber Dallas Strait. (See the April issue or report ID 7693 in our database.) Zaitz booked her hunt through Bob Kern of The Hunting Consortium (540-955-0090; www.huntingconsortium.com). Like Strait’s hunt, Zaitz’ hunt took place on Tiburon Island off the coast of Sonora.....
