I believe that if you shot your sheep with a Savora Titanium and a Crossbow you could accomplish two things never done before.  First to kill a Bighorn with a Titanium Savora and the first to legally shoot a Washington Bighorn with a crossbow.  Could be a fun story to tell the grandkids some day :dunno:

Way to get selected LOKI, if I'm not working when you go I'll go with you to help pack or whatever you need. You know I can hike up mountains remember last year for our bear hunt. Lol. Plus I ought a new Bull Pack at the sportsmanship show this year that I need to break in.  :tup:

Nice ..That would be cool if you could get it done with your bow ...but being what it is , you would be forgiven if you had to use the Big stick  :dunno: :chuckle: :tup: :tup:

I'm still planning on the elk hunt with you, I hear you need backup for that stick you use...   :chuckle:  plus, there's a lot more meat on an elk.

I actually thought about the X-bow Rad, but if I am close enough for that, I can probably use my regular bow.  Hmmm, Boss 300 can probably carry my crossbow and my rifle as well as a bunch of food with his new fancy pack.   :chuckle:

Oh yeah, I've got a younger neighbor who is willing to help me get in shape with some aerobic work as well as stretching, something I've been needing to do for a while anyways.   :tup:

How good looking is she?  Could be just the motivation a man needs to get off the couch and take an aerobics class! 

...With Weathergirl's supervision of course.

Thanks Mossyoak, nice photo.  This is one of the things that will be very helpful as I have not seen a lot of sheep and have never judged any in the field.  Would the one on bottom right be a potential shooter or are all of these guys wannabees?    The one in the upper left looks like he's got some mass, but hard to tell in the bushes....

Rad, unfortunately for my eyes, it's not a she... now if Hirshey wants to come be my trainer, I'll feed her all the shrimp and lingcod she can eat.   :chuckle:  ** Hopefully, the aforementioned Hirshey understands this is in fun and I have an immense amount of respect for her abilities.

 :dunno: 

I noticed it was from 2006, just asking about judging these as a generic group of sheep.

So, A, B, and C look like good sheep, but they do not look like "full curl".  Am I seeing/interpreting this correctly?  C looks wider than the others, but is a different angle.  D looks like he could be good , but hard to tell in the bushes.  Any ideas what these guys might score?  Do the really big boys hang in the bachelor herds like this?

Thx for the help.
