[NaStY]

I would guess at 11 to 11 1/2. But then again, what do i know......

[Big7]

I'll guess....OLD....hammer him!

[kootenayelkslayer]

I would say 16.... but thats just what I've heard ;)

[Orangethunder]

Conservative guess: between 6 and 18 yrs...

[whitetailsheds]

12 or 13.....

I count ten rings,........Shoot him!
DAMB HE's UUUUUUUUUUGLY

[kootenayelkslayer]

I'm pretty sure thats the oldest ram ever shot in the Yukon, unless I'm mistaken.

[bruin]

I get 14 but its tough at the base. It's also hard to know all that he is missing.

[Bighorn hunter]

with that much horn missing he would score around 186, sounds like a little outfitter exageration. Great old ram regardless, You can't pass on them when their that old

[kennyj]

I'd have to say 14+.Supper cool ram!

:lol: X2


I get 11 on the left horn

[d6dan]

Well,from what annuals I can see he's 12.5 yrs old. Given he's missing his lamb tips. Oh yah, he's losing his teeth and he also has a very tight curl for a thinhorn.

[hunter1947]

I would say 13 :roll:.

[6 K]

will tell you what the biologist here aged him at later

So what did he/she say?

[6 K]

You can't pass on them when their that old
Actually, I would. :razz:
I like the ones in 325 wsm and kootneyelkslayer avatars better.
Of course lill buck's would be a no brainer.:tongue:

[325 wsm]

i took a few different sets of sheep horns and counted the age rings down to a 10 inch circumference or aproxamitely 16 inches. I came up with 15.5 yrs. old with the average of these added on. The C.O. ( who is a sheep biologist) aged it at 17.5 yrs. I put it on the site hoping someone would try and draw red and blue lines on all the annular and false rings....
any takers ? :-P

[325 wsm]

ps...the ram in my avatar is only a 37 inch ram...... it was kind of a dwarf

[guest]

Wow !
Good thing some one tagged him, or he may have died of old age, or a rodent of some type might have set up shop in his left horn .
What a Cool Ram, wish it were mine. What does he score any way?

I think I've actually seen the video of this ram getting taken.
325wsm, do you know the person who guided this ram??

[Lil Buck]

325 WSM guided.the ram.Bonnet plume outfitters.:smile:

[325 wsm]

yes i did guide the hunter that got him, it is on my video and his score was about 152 + . I actually turned him down with another hunter the year before because we had spotted this other ram that was only about 500 yds from him.

this ram was 11.5 if i remember correctly and the video is called "Sheep Hunting with Mike & Benny" and is not available in stores everywhere. But there may be some available on this site sometime soon. Benny was my dog and had been on over 50 successful hunts with me. And yes he was a good dog.
