I think year two is hidden due to the flair of that horn.  Obviously with a turn of his head we'd be able to see the rest of that horn length.

Something like this. Green signifies the annuli in the crown. Red are the rest.

He's got some serious flair now that you mention it, especially looking at his left side. What I'm counting as year two could be year three which would give me nine.

Here's a good one, I guessed him at nine when I was watching him through the spotter.

HH,

That’s a beautiful ram.  I am also guessing 9.   
I will take a pic from below on my ram when I get back from the keys on a lobster dive.

It's early so I'm not sure but I think that ram goes 10 yrs you posted Houndhunter. Here's another pic of the cracked lamb tip one head on.

So as I said the other day. I have never seen growth from year 3 exceed year two. Have you ever seen that on a ram Houndhunter? I should probably say that I have never been on a sheep hunt as well. I raise Icelandic sheep and have glassed and observed Bighorns many times in areas like Lincoln and the Wenaha. Also down in Oregon on the John Day river. Les Schwab ranch. Fun place!

I've seen that once on a ram my boss guided, definitely not typical.

TTT.  Here is an old boy with some really convincing FA's (false annuli)...
