MT Sheep HD 482

[rmyoung1]

The biologist scored the ram at 1/4" short of 185". As far as that goes, I don't know that there is a sheep in the unit (or world) that Dad would have been any happier with than this one. He meets and exceeds every goal we had to define "success", and is going to make a beautiful mount.

Absolutely! Sheep don't come any prettier than that one. What a trophy and wonderful experience! Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Score is a bonus, IMO... that sheep has everything I'd want to have in a BH ram. Mass, flare, color. Just a dream ram.

Great story and pictures. I really enjoy the breaks sheep hunt posts. Living out a dream for most of us. Thanks and congrats to you and your dad.

I am always amazed at what a 6-8 yr old ram grows for horns in Montana versus here in Alberta. The distance isn't that far and climates are similar. Is it just the hard prairie grass( breaks Rams) that is the difference? it's a very noticeable difference in growth rates that's for sure.
