Odds of you shooting another one unless you are filthy rich or unbelievably lucky are astronomical.   I'd mount it. 

Nice first post.   WELCOME :hello:

I'd do a mount yes
For a comparison
These rams were taken by a friend we stayed with while antelope hunting in WY, both booners I think, but he never measured them, the dall is I believe 42 " and the stone is 45".
Your ram is definetely good enough to mount bud

Is your ram from this year? this state?
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: carpsniperg2 on October 22, 2011, 09:52:16 PM
I would do a shoulder mount on it :tup: If not then a euro mount would look great. Looks like a fairly nice ram from what little bit I can tell from the pic.

Yea bud, you're leaving us hanging here. Details, story, come on man. Maybe a couple more pics where you can actually see the horns.
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: HairTrigger on October 23, 2011, 10:31:11 PM
I don't wanna start anything but yes this is my ram forfrom this year I drew one of two tags for the rez this ram has 15"an some change bases an 31"an some change curls don't really know where else to take measurements these were transferred from the clemens mountain or the canyon area six or seven years ago they aged him at 6+ but when they drilled an plugged him they was sayin he was a baby or was born up there was an awesome hunt all in all hella pack out too but what made it worse was I dropped him one shot with/my 7mm butrolled an rolled an off a 20 to30 foot cliff
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?

Show that thing off! Lets see a good pic! The ram deserves it!
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: NWBREW on October 23, 2011, 10:43:49 PM
Any Ram I shoot in this state........or any other....will get a shoulder mount. A Ram permit will not come for many who apply. Nothing wrong with a 6 year old ram, Mount it. There are a lot of great taxi's on this site. Congrats

Post by: HairTrigger on October 23, 2011, 11:00:12 PM
yeah when he went off the cliff messed up the cape pretty bad I really wanted to but tha taxidermist said it wasn't any good :dunno:
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: NWBREW on October 23, 2011, 11:18:41 PM
Euro mount. Those are cool too.
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: boneaddict on October 24, 2011, 05:37:04 AM
Thats too bad hair trigger.  Like they suggested, a good euro would look awesome too.

Nice job! What area did you get him in?
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: lewy on October 24, 2011, 06:33:32 AM

Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: sirmissalot on October 24, 2011, 07:27:49 AM

Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: JColony on October 24, 2011, 08:59:45 AM
Any ram in WA is a nice ram!  Look on the bright side, a Euro mount is a fraction of the cost of a shoulder mount, plus they look great!  Congrats on the hunt!
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: HairTrigger on October 24, 2011, 09:04:49 AM
he does have some good mass but still need to get scored can y'all take a guess like I said 15" bases 31" length an here is a few more pics
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: C-Money on October 24, 2011, 09:10:22 AM
Hope you did not throw away the cape! Get a second opinion! There is a bunch a very talented taxidermists on here and maybe they could make it work! I would sure do every thing to get that ram mounted, beauty!
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?

Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: Ballance1 on October 24, 2011, 11:00:11 AM
That's some expensive buckskin
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?

Mount it!
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: CountryslickR on October 25, 2011, 12:10:40 PM
Could have gotten a pretty penney for the cape......
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: WonkyWapiti on October 25, 2011, 07:39:34 PM
Another option that you might think about is hitting one of the local conventions such as the Sportsmen's Convention at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue in February.  They usually have one or two capes to be auctionned off with the appropriate paperwork from the state.

Not to him it wasn't.

How did the cape get ruined?
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: JoeE on October 28, 2011, 10:18:12 AM
I think he said it was ruined when it fell off the cliff he shot it on. Which unit was it taken in?
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: HairTrigger on December 08, 2011, 06:42:52 PM

Looks like it would be nice on your wall it sure looks nice to me.
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: Elkstuffer on December 08, 2011, 09:36:03 PM
That cape sure didn't look too bad to me. Too bad. That cape was worth approx $1500.
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: BOWHUNTER45 on December 08, 2011, 10:07:08 PM
Dah .... :o Do not care who shot it -where it came from - what it taste like .....MOUNT IT  :yike:

I'm not a rich guy so IF i am ever lucky enough to draw a tag to hunt one it will probably be the only chance in my life so I'd full body mount mine.  Idc if I had to rack up credit cards to do so, sale the truck, sale the wife, that's my dream hunt.  Your a lucky man, congrats on a fine looking trophy no matter the score.
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?

Mount it. :tup:

You must have thought it was a nice ram or you wouldn't have shot it.  It looks nice enough to me.
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on December 09, 2011, 07:35:55 AM

Exactly my way of thinking as well. If I am ever lucky enough to draw a sheep or goat tag, its getting a lifesize. I plan on doing a lifesize if I ever draw a ewe tag as well...

I've told my wife the same thing when she questioned why I even put in for a ewe tag, told her if I drew a ewe tag I'd full body it in hopes that before I die I'd get a Ram as well and incorporate them both in the same habitat scene, I'd even head mount a cow moose, so if I got a bull I could put them side by side.  It's all wishful thinking though, I couldn't even draw a doe tag if I wanted to.  My wife though is lucky, she will draw if anybody does.

Mount the ram. I have my ram in Montana right now getting a full body mount. Who knows if I'll ever get a chance at a sheep tag again?
Title: Re: IS THIS A NICE RAM?
Post by: Wtrfowlr62 on December 31, 2011, 11:02:01 AM
if you have the oppurtunity to draw and kill a ram, doesnt matter how big it is mount it.. its a trophy just trying to get to them and get one off the mountain..
