Agreed - I’d take the curled ram for sure.

I would let age be the deciding factor. Nothing like a great old warrior

Another update. The other auction hunter tagged out on a ram we had found in July but we were holding out to see what else we could find. Beautiful ram. I'm the only ram rifle hunter in the state of NV until Nov.

With him being dead I'm curious what you guys would pick, a big curly ram or a ram with mass (like Jason Carter killed a couple of years ago) but not the same look. From a score standpoint you are talking 8.5" more for the ram Carter killed. The score is more just interesting it's not my deciding factor.

I'm ready to take this thing until Nov to see what else shows up and continue to look at pictures. I know this type of sheep hunt will never happen again for me so I want to drag this out as along as possible

Give me mass anyday

I love how almost all of the guys who have hunted sheep go for mass almost every time!

They are both cool rams and will make amazing memories. I've checked with my guide none of the units that open before mid Nov are a high priority for us. Looking at the checkout results they can produce book rams but lower chances.

We are getting a closer look at a curly ram and looking for another with mass. Hopefully we get some really good pictures of both and either make the call to kill one or decide keep looking.
