Swankane Ram????

[coachcw]

Has anyone seen this years Swakane ram ?

I have. Pretty darn nice but I guess there were bigger. The guy had an elk hunt he had to get to and didn't hold out.

There wasn't a bigger one in the unit.  There are a couple that are within a few points of this ram and maybe one grew an inch better but there are none that are visually bigger.  Unless you believe in rumors of magical limping booner rams.

I agree and I guess it is in the eye of the hunter and what they consider "bigger" and more of a trophy

He harvested a great ram, ...he did the permit justice.

Agreed.  It's the oldest ram I think.  He hadn't grown an inch in years.  Plus Tom (and Jerry) and David need to see what it tapes out at to know if they made the right decision or not...   

Now what for next year?  Collared rams should be getting up there!

This one should be big enough soon...

I think this is the ram they shot.  It is not Full Curl, which was the ram we never could find last year.  I did find this ram and after a lot of careful analysis we decided he was a different ram (due to a chip on Full Curl's left horn near the base that this ram does not have). I have seen the pictures of the dead ram and he looks identical to this one:

that's a beautiful ram !

[WAmuleyHunter]

I love that ram ROB!!!!!!! I like that picture! 

[rosscrazyelk]

So no harvest pic of this Ram?

[Biggerhammer]

I called his brother and put him on several large rams I had been watching. He would come photograph them. The Ram pictured just above is the Ram they had chose to take. I haven't heard anything since I spoke with him two days before the opener.
