Is he big enough to shoot?

[Tank]

If you had the tag in Idaho...is he a shooter?

 

[jm77]

You're joking, right?

 

[CFMuley]

That would be a no brainer in my opinion.

 

[yoteduster]

I think so

 

[easyelk13]

In every unit but 11........

 

[elkhunterUT]

no hesitation at all.

 

[Tristate]

I have never killed a bighorn.

Bang!

 

[littlebighorn]

Are you saying you have an Idaho sheep tag?
He looks like a very good bighorn and well above average for Idaho.

This, why “what unit” matters

No, I don't have a sheep tag. But someone does. Just sharing some hornography to keep people dreaming. He's the best Big Horn I have seen on the hoof. Not a sheep hunter, but at 25yrds, he was a sight.

How about this one ? South Dakota Badlands last summer.

 

[yoteduster]

That's a old brute right there

Pretty hard to judge from that photo. Evaluating any animal from behind is always a bad idea. (I know from sad experience) I'd want other angle looks to tell for sure.
He looks like a good ram but he's tipped. Sometimes that's a sign of youth in Bighorns, but no way to tell from that view.

Beautiful ram.
Tight curl, makes mass look bigger.
Space between horns. No pro, but bases do not look great to me.
Would I shot it? In a heartbeat in a lot of areas unless I knew the area held better.
Would like to see a side view.

I agree especially Sheep, you need all the views, so you don’t make a mistake. I’d rather let it go , then walk up and be disappointed
