 Keep looking. ;)
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Some pictures I got Sunday morning before heading home.  I don't think I have seen this Ram yet.

I am super excited to see what you harvest on your hunt! Loving all the pictures you are posting of the rams they are fun to look through! Have you found any possible shooters yet? The last ram appears to carry his mass really well.

If I were holding my own bullets that last one would be going down.  But if I were holding my own bullets the dark chocolate one would have been down also.

Thanks for all the pics they are great to see and dream about.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

For those "in the know" would any of these be shooters in the Manson Unit?  Would using a bow make a difference?

Thanks for posting the pics.

I don't know rams all that well but that last appears almost full curl and broomed off  :yike:  That is a stud for sure.
Just tend your own and live.

Man those rams are cool looking! Are you able to drive into the unit with the current restrictions or do you have to hike in from the main road?

This last weekend was all off the highway, the other roads are closed for fire danger.

I am not sure if any are shooters for sure, I will have to see more rams and figure out which one I like the best

He wouldn't be a bad one to shoot.  He's in the 170's.  He's only about 8 years old and there are certainly older rams that score that much in there that would make a better trophy.  I'm going to get over there in a few weeks.  We'll see what I can find...
