That's awesome Kirby, Congrats on your beautiful trophy. I feel bad, as it only took my wife 8 year to draw. Its a fun time chasing sheep. Glad you got to experience it.

Great Ram, congrats to you on a well deserved trophy!!!

Thanks everyone. As a side note this ram was only 6 1/2 yrs. old. When I went to get him plugged (because of the base size) the biologist thought he might be an offspring of some sheep from Montana that they transplanted several years ago. He took some tissue samples to check the DNA and I'm still waiting to hear back.

Man if you would have been able to wait 3 more years that ram would have been even better. What a trophy, personally I was thinking he had at least 2 more years on him.

I agree deerslayer, my goal going in was to hold out for a 9 or 10 year old ram and I knew this one was fairly young but I thought he might go 170 and I wasn't going to draw another tag so.... A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
