Is this a good bighorn sheep?
« on: August 18, 2014, 09:30:39 PM »
I know nothing about bighorn sheep...is this an average one? big one???  Got them on a trail camera and thought it was pretty cool.

Looks to be a pretty solid rocky mountain big horn. If it was a cali bighorn it would be a monster.

I'm no sheep expert but the first 2 from left to right look like shooters. Especially the middle one. Cool pics!

I'm no expert but I'd say upper 180's. He looks solid throughout and has good length.

You going to tell us what state he's in and if you have a tag?  :)

I SWAG scored him at 171, and that's probably low.  VERY nice ram, bet he's what anyone would hope for from that herd.  Looks to be at least 9-10 years old.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thank you for the info guys.  He is a Washington ram, and no I don't have a tag...just got them on a trail camera and thought he seemed pretty decent...but then I realized I wouldn't know a decent ram if it head butted me  :chuckle:

Wow, That would be really hard to pass.  The only way you pass that Ram is if you know there is one way bigger.  But I think it would be really hard to pass up.

If is Washington and you have a chance take him unless you know there is something better in your area. That is a very respectable ram for our state.

You would not have to think about 2 of them more than second.  Just enough to click safety off.

Take it from a person that as a kid himself growing up with a grandfather that raised sheep if that middle one hit you in the head yo9u'd know it.  As a kid I thought it would be fun to get down on hands and knees and head but with the sheep.  After 2 hours of being unconscious realized I didn't have what it takes to do that again. bad part was parents and grandparents laughed about it til the day my grandparents both passed and would never let me forget it
