Fabulous ram! I'd never pass him up no matter where I was hunting him. Appears to be about 11-years old with great character. As for score (which I wouldn't be worried about) a lot will depend on the bases. They don't look very heavy, like 14 3/4's or so. However, I think he may score 180+. Great find!

I'll guess 176. It's hard to tell how heavy he is. I'll probably be all wrong but here goes. He doesn't seem to be super heavy, but carries the mass he does have a long ways out. The curl also seems kind of tight. Really hard to say though from a pic.
I will say, I'd love to have him on my wall. They are pretty cool critters!
Looking at the side view he looks bigger. I can't make up my mind if he had a real tight curl or it just looks that way because he has a lot of mass. He's probably bigger than I think, but oh well, better than smaller I guess.

I'm so bad at this. My poor buddy who is counting on me to be his sheep guide this year is in trouble! I'm gonna bump my guess up to 185, after getting more views, but I'm still concerned the tight curl and bases may be throwing me! Good practice though!
I have to say if we ever see a ram that carries his mass like that and looks like an old warrior, I would definitely be saying SHOOT! I know I'd sure be happy with him on my wall.

Nice find Zia. I found one at tree line last year. Left him up there because I had too much stuff to carry out after my elk hunt and was too bushed to carry anymore. I didn't have horse to assist. He's still up there. I know exactly where he is. I spoke to NM game and fish and they said if I get him to give Gabe M from Taos area a call. Maybe I'll get back up there before the end summer. He's a pic. Just they way I found him.
