That animal just amazes me.   How much bigger can you get?   Great picture to emphasis the mass.

How about a Grand Canyon smaller Ram
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Well, since he is only about 8 years old apparently he can get a bit bigger if he grows to 10 or 12 years.  I call that type of shot a "shoulders" shot as you can really see the shoulders on a ram from behind.  Anyone want to see a bigger ram?

I took this many years ago with slide film and a crappy lens.  He's a tad tighter on the curl but has more mass.  This ram reminds me of the 206" ram in the latest issue of Fair Chase.  I think his curl is slightly tighter though...

Great photos guys..Thanks for posting.   I remember fishing many times in the fall in the lower end of Hell's Canyon and being one of 20 + boats ideling in the current watching a couple rams butt heads.  You could hear the crack over all the boats running.  Amazing site.
