Nice. He looks like he has pretty decent sized bases. Also, a very deep and open curl, which may deceive a viewer, but actually adds a fair amount of horn length. That little flip outward at the tips is a nice touch. Hard to read the rings on that one. Maybe 6 1/2 years old?
By comparison I regularly see full curls up outside of Cody that have nowhere near the base circumference, nor the horn length this boy shows. On some of those rams, the bottom of the curl is barely below the jawline. You might not be able to pass a softball through the opening in the curl. If the horns dip well below the jawline like Chris' ram appears to, it is a decent ram. The photo indicates that the top of the horn at the low point of the curl may actually dip below the jawline. That may be camera angle, but the head on shot shows the horns dipping fairly low also.
Outstanding for a DIY in new country that is all chopped up with no-entry private land. He really had to do his homework first, then double down to get that ram. He really ought to be proud of his hunt, and the ram.
This has been a fun read. Thanks for all the details.
