A truly mature ram is just a different animal than a ewe or young ram. Listen to this guy...... It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Mature rams do vary quite a bit, but most will be in the 275-310lb. range. 350 lb. certainly exist, but they are like 350 lb. mule deer. 350lb mule deer bucks are not that uncommon in Alberta, although there'll be fewer with CWD affecting mature mule deer bucks the most. The last real big mule deer buck I shot, I tried to move it ungutted with the calf sled on the snow. With my gimpy leg, I could barely move that sucker.

There is a book out there with me listed at 6'8" because I looked too tall compared to others in a photo. But there are plenty of poorly informed writers Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Epitome of a mature ram. 11+ years old. Probably looked like a bison standing there when you smoked him. Well done. Curious who you hunted with?

Brownings don't get much luv on the 'Fire, but I've found them to be quite accurate. Browning Max, Long Range, 6.5 PRC Liked it so much I got another in 6.8 Western.......

I had thought 300, but this made me question that since I have never seen one, but would like to hunt them sometime. Are you sure he said Aoudad and not oryx? The Oryx/gemsbok in NM are in the 600lb range, but the only way an aoudad is getting to 600lbs is by putting it in a 10’ pen and force feeding it.
