Yeah DW, and I've never known the dude to exaggerate, which is why I think typo no? I could see 48 for sure Anyway, been good man, hope you likewise

^ haha, right bessy? hammer breaks rams, but I really cant believe some of these numbers aint typos...not necessarily the scores, but the particular weights and measures 19" bases?? 58 lbs??? but then, what the hell would I know about it anyway ;) do agree on them rams dying at a relatively...

Nice job bud, couple of good buckers!

Hang in there bud, still just glad to know you guys are OK! I know the aftermath sucks, but you've obviously still got whats most important...that thing was a real inferno, have some other friends that lost everything as well We had a close one a little bit earlier down here on the central...

Don't know why you'd need a saw buddy? I guess if you want bone-in cuts? otherwise, just take quarters off, remove backstraps, filets, neck meat, flank and brisket (a decently long flat edged knife works well for this)...let cool, wrap in tarp at the front or very back end of your truck bed...

Its a done deal man, way too late to get back to the good ol days... the future is obviously further advancement of tech, stricter regulation of such, and harder to procure tags...nevermind the ego trip so many people are on these days, frikken guys and gals will seemingly happily sail across...

Wicked ram 284, I remember seeing the pics when you killed him...all them rings add up to a lot more than inches in my book anyway, think he's still holding strong as the oldest hunter killed ram ever taken in our state...bad ass Yeah Phil, it all depends on who you get...had the Dept be real...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-17-17 AT 06:56PM (MST)[p]Shucks man, sounds like you guys checked ram in at Cruces no? It seems every time we've taken one in there, it was measured by a guy who'd never laid hands on one of the dang things :) I think the aging discrepancy has to do with whomever did the...

^you guys,degree of curl has no direct correlation to size/score...rams come in all shapes and sizes, it's all about proportion no The alpine herds in our state are notorious for producing old, broomed rams (like NMhunter's example above) with a very tight, close curl, and subsequently not as...

^well ok... gonna have to disagree on the "3 years broomed" assessment, ram has barely busted his lamb tips off, but whatever Sorry to hear about the decline in age class and size on the rancho, but they have been hammering em pretty hard lately Anyway, don't take it the wrong way, I'm sure...

Nice ewes Don't mean to sandbag your buds ram, but he looks to me like he's growing his 7th year Ancient old ram? Teds desert ranch has a proven history of producing nice and truly mature Book rams on a consistent basis ever since it opened for sheep hunting a few years ago No n?ed to blow...

Nice billies! Looks a bit frigid ;)

Thanks for the follow up Rattler, appreciate it...those things still freak me out for heavy game, but glad they've worked well for you guys Cheers, Adam

^I assume youre talking about the Hydracon? I think we talked about this before no? Anyway, I've got a pile of em sitting at home, but haven't had time to get a good MZ range session in...was pretty sure would draw in CO but didn't, so it hasn't been a huge priority Hoping to have the chance...

^THROUGH one shoulder? or behind? Hit any bones on the way in? They work great on soft tissue and light boned beasts, have killed a decent muley and a good antelope with the sst...just would shy away when there exists the possibily of encountering heavy bone Much better choices out there
