Shooter in the Quilomene, pass in Swakane (if it was open).
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I"m going 120-130.  You guys are generous.  See how thin it is?  I'm assuming it's a cali ram.

I really think this ram is around 5-6 but without being there and getting a great look at
some age rings we wont know. And I also think hes is pushing that 160 -165 class.

If you look at him good I would give him these numbers. Now this is field scoring.
Length 30 twice
base 14 twice
cir#2 12 twice
cir#3 8 twice
cir#4 4 twice

Now with this being said you are looking at a ram scoring 164 give or take an inch.
and I am usualy modest.
work hard and reap the reward or dont and get left behind!!!

I dont think he'll have 14" at the base I wont argue with ya on the 30" length too hard to get a good length from that angle but after runnin some numbers i think we probably were too generous to begin with because id say hes probably got about 10" bases, pope probably hit the nail on the head with his guess

Your mass measurements are high.  No way that is a 164 ram unless the picture is deceiving.

Hey you put the spotting scope on him!
Ok now I will agree with you on the mass butt not 10 inch bases there all day 13.
and after all this I am a bone head I added my bases twice but I not to proud to
say it. All in all I would not fill my tag on this ram. I bow down and say 134 is what
I would score this ram give or take an inch.

LOL.  I'm with you on the size there...  I did zoom in a bit...

His mass is not good.  In fact, this ram could never be a "gagger" as I like to call them.  Even if he grew all that horn out  he will never be huge.  Not to say he can' be a nice 160 some day...  He better live 4 or 5 more years for that though...

The main problem I have is basic firearm safety as in where is the bullet going to end up? no solid backdrop. What is on the other side of hill? When in doubt DONT SHOOT! but as far as question, is it the last day? how many others have you seen? what is average for unit? Is it a guided hunt or DIY? Is it a once in a lifetime tag, or OTC? A trophy is in the eye of the one harvesting the animal. I hunt with Trad Archery gear and if I could get close enough I would be very happy with that ram.

I agree with you he just dosnt have what it will take to become a big ram.

Sorry then your modest score is off this time! I have a friend that had the tag and I scouted and did some research the year he had it and yes i was being very generous as Pope said his ram was 157 and would make this one look like a baby!
