Nice assist Buzz! Looking forward to the details.
I was there and it's a beauty ram. Buzz will have the details and the pics but we're both really proud of dad. We're estimating in the low to mid 180's. We haven't had time to make any real measurements but rough measures show bases of close to 16" and lengths of 39.5 and 41.5. It's a great ram and was a blast to hunt!

Buzz and Matt,
You're going to have to get your dad to enter his sheep in the MT FNAWS taxidermy contest during this winters fundraiser (which will be in Missoula first weekend in March). Winner gets $400 towards taxidermy costs. Looking forward to the pics.

I'll have photos later today.
I finally had a chance to put a tape on Dads bighorn and its better than I thought it would be. I looked at that ram for 4 hours one day (3 days before Dad killed it) at 450 yards through a spotting scope. I estimated his bases at 15, length at 38-39 and would score high 170's low 180's, and I was sure he was either 7.5 or 8.5 years old. Turned out its long horn is 40 7/8 bases are 15 7/8 and he was 7.5 years old...scores unoffically 186 4/8 gross and 185 5/8 net. Even after the drying period it should net around 184-185.
