Okay being serious: if it were the last day of the season I would take him, but definitely not a shooter to me for a once in a lifetime hunt.

1. What unit are you hunting in for instance in the rimrock area this is a good ram
2. What day of the hunt are you on
3. What standards did you set for yourself
with all that said I would not shoot this ram. I would age him around 5-6.
he is Pretty thin at the bases and looks to be 5 to 7/8 curl.
I'm thinking with this photo he is around a 165 ram.
I am sure it would be hard but we should let this one grow.

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.

But I dint think any of us would of passed this twister up what
a ram!!!

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

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.
Post by: popeshawnpaul on May 29, 2009, 10:44:37 PM
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...

LOL. I'm with you on the size there... I did zoom in a bit...I agree with you he just dosnt have what it will take to become a big 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

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!

Not a shooter in my book...... He's a baby.
