How old did they call that? I am thinking 10? Hard to tell with all the base wrinkles. Neat bit of character.

They said 9 , looks like he either started and stopped in the middle, or had a real tough year. Im no sheep expert but they are awesome animals, no doubt.

I blew it up and have trouble with 9... could more easily go 11, IMO.

Is the sheep population on the Brooks range as bad as the reports I have been hearing? Did you see good numbers of lambs and Ewes? Find any winter kills? Thanks.

"Saw several winterkill full curl rams." It's all so darned confusing sometimes. What a regal and wonderful animal. Good on you and thanks for sharing, OP!

A very nice ram.......I suspect we are in for some drastic changes in sheep regulations. Drawing for all sheep tags?....five years between tags?.......two sheep per lifetime?

Well, damn. Here I was feeling all proud of myself for today scoring a defunct tundra motor with the parts I need to make my '84 40-hp OMC outboard functional again (starts on 3 pulls EDT! - its the swivel mount I needed) Only took 6 years of looking....
The caribou on the ATV run today were noticeably absent....
Darned nice ram.
Color me jealous.

Thanks docdb , I really like your ram ,Best part about this hunt is my wife was with me. She tears it up climbing! She is doing another ironman race next year so she is going to try for a sheep in 2016. (her priority's are obviously screwed up ) The cool part of her being there is that she is 6 years cancer free now. She did a marathon during chemo , and is one of the toughest people I have ever met. We hiked ten miles out and then up around 2k feet to get this one, didnt phase her, She should have been a sheep guide. ![[Linked Image]](http://i59.tinypic.com/2rffsbr.jpg)

Really nice ram with classic full curl! You are blessed to have a wife that shares your hunting passions! Great news that she is cancer free and saying a prayer that it continues.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
