The 171 Ram at the Yakima Sportsman Show.

Does anyone know anything about this ram. It was taken in Yakima County. It was a nice ram, I was just wondering if I missed the post or if anyone knew anything about it.

It is all about finding one that is not broomed. Mine has big horns, but due to brooming on one side the score is hurt.
Rams in some of the units broom alot, but for some reason in other units not so much.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

I dont think broomed horns hurt them as much as you would think if theyre brooming an inch or 2 of horn off that can move your mass measurements back and youve got 8 total mass measurements obviously your base isnt going to move but the other 3 measurements then move closer to the base so on a 36 inch horn you would take measurements at the base and then every 9 inches whereby on a 34 inch horn you would take base and then every 8.5 inches meaning that your 1st measurement moves 1/2 an inch 2nd measurement moves 1 full inch and your 3rd measurement would be a full 1 1/2 closer to the base, so you could easily make up for the 2 inches that are broomed
