Dall Sheep Rams Shoot or Pass video

[Sneaker]

Finished up my hunt last week. What do you think on these different rams? Some of the video is better/closer than others, sorry. I ended up passing on all these rams, giving my guide no small amount of anxiety. 8 days in the mountains was as much fun as I was hoping it would be!

Some nice rams in there!! Hard to say, but definitely a couple well on their way to being studs!

It’s such a personal thing. Your history, experience, opportunities to come, and location all play a role.
No “crankers” but there is at least one in there I would definitely take in most areas of AK. But probably not in the Yukon or NWT.
Again, personal.
iDK why a guide would be anxious. Those seem like classic “it’s up to you” type rams.

Thanks for sharing the footage!

Thanks for sharing! Nice videos there. Like others said, maybe it depends a little where you are hunting and what your goals are but if you were hunting Alaska I think most of those were legal and regardless of where they are I think any legal ram is “trophy” quality. That last one for sure is easily beyond full curl and worthy of a tag. Sounds like you enjoyed your hunt, and that’s most important. No shame in leaving mature rams on the mountain.

Very cool video! Thanks for sharing. It looks and sounds like you had a hell of a time, thats all that matters.

As others have said, it all depends on one's objectives to sheep hunt. Thank you for sharing the video - you had the opportunity to get eyes on a good number of rams.

Great video thank you.

I guess it wasn’t clear, but I did tag out. What I thought was the best ram, of course it’s the one that I didn’t get video of. I’ll put it in the meat pole thread.

That last ram is a chunk! Thanks for sharing.

looks like your guide has quite the spot! Seeing that many rams is a success in and of itself. Congrats

Some pretty good looking rams
The one facing into the cam with all green behind it looked pretty good to me
Glad you were successful!

Thanks so much for sharing this video. I really enjoyed seeing so many rams. The wind does blow in the mountains!

Great video and definitely good learning tool for us greener sheep hunters. I had to pass on two rams last month that seemed just shy but it was a valuable learning experience.

It would have been hard to not shoot the rams at min 4 and 5. Both looked 10yo and mid/upper 30s easy. Many others were legal by AK standards. Sounds like an incredible hunt!
