I don't know yet, I haven't met the biologist to get him pinned yet, i'm sure he'll give me the real age, our guess was 7.5.  My hunting partner shot one last year and his had the same rings as mine and it was 8.5?

I would have guessed 8.5 based on the count and look on mine.

Obviously I have a lot to learn if I am ever going to be a sheep guy.

Thanks for a great thread, really awesome to follow along.

He's 7.5 y/o. I missed a ring I guess. That's awesome. Congrats again!
