I don't have many other pictures of the ram as I was by myself when I shot him at about 40 yards. He was with 5 other rams. He was 32" x 15 and 8 years old. I don't want to discredit this beautiful ram and had 2nd thoughts about shooting him as the other 4 shooters I had been chasing where most likely 36-40" range. But I was only going to have one other camp move or my moose tag was going to be down to a week. The article will be in RMBS at some point in the future.
The bull ended up being 51" and had 7.5 bases. I actually located him after getting a lead on a big moose when I dropped off my ram at the processor. Talk about good timing!!! A group of guys showed me pictures and told about a giant moose they had seen the day before. I immediately took off trying to find this bull and DID, unfortunately he was on private. After a bunch of door knocking I located the ranch manager whom told he would not and could not give me permission to shoot the bull, but the bull routinely moved a mile or two up the drainage and would probably be on BLM or public within the next week as he had been moving back and forth for the last week or so since he showed up.
After seeing but not being able to hunt this bull, I went back to camp and believe or not found the bull I ended up shooting ---again on private property several miles from the other bull on my way to camp. However this bull was very close to where I could shoot it. I spent the next 2 days checking on these bulls and got more good leads on where to find quality bulls. Tuesday am after checking on the bull I shot, I couldn't find him and headed over to find the bigger bull only to see my bull squarely in the area I could hunt and in short order closed the deal.
