I have. Pretty darn nice but I guess there were bigger. The guy had an elk hunt he had to get to and didn't hold out. :bash:
There wasn't a bigger one in the unit. There are a couple that are within a few points of this ram and maybe one grew an inch better but there are none that are visually bigger. Unless you believe in rumors of magical limping booner rams.

I agree and I guess it is in the eye of the hunter and what they consider "bigger" and more of a trophy

He harvested a great ram, ...he did the permit justice.
Agreed. It's the oldest ram I think. He hadn't grown an inch in years. Plus Tom (and Jerry) and David need to see what it tapes out at to know if they made the right decision or not... :chuckle:
Now what for next year? Collared rams should be getting up there!
This one should be big enough soon...

I think this is the ram they shot. It is not Full Curl, which was the ram we never could find last year. I did find this ram and after a lot of careful analysis we decided he was a different ram (due to a chip on Full Curl's left horn near the base that this ram does not have). I have seen the pictures of the dead ram and he looks identical to this one:
