Just got done putting together some data for another sheep hunter based on the last couple yrs stats for his unit. Highest score 171, avg was 156 and age class avg was 6-8 yr old rams in the 150-160 range. There's many other factors to consider but it's a start.

Tag holders unit stats
Avg age 7.5
avg length 34 5/8
max length 40 4/8
avg base 14 1/8
max base 16
avg score 164 6/8
max score 179 1/8 ( taken last year)

11 tags last year 5 over 170 another 4 over 160 and 2 150 I believe only 7 tags this year and might be just 6 the other 3 or 4 tags last year were PIW and raffle type tags and couldn't hunt this unit this year.

I think knowing what the unit is trending helps set a reasonable goal, with the hope of exceeding it !
