Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 11/14/12 11:29 PM

Nice aoudad probably in the 32-33" range but as far as I can tell he's lacking mass a little bit.

He is a very nice ram but has quite some space between his bosses. I bet he will only gain more mass if you gave him some more time. Now if he was a free range ram there would be no doubt about ground checking him!

I would no doubt shoot him!!
out of the Half dozen I have in my trophy room that are all 30-33...this one looks bigger!
I could be wrong...but I usually guess conservative...gonna say 34-35.
I think he has more mass than you guys think, his body is huge and I can see at LEAST 6 age rings just in his last quarter.

I've admitted in the past that I'm not a great judge of Auodad and have never even taken one but I know what I like. Great looking trophy to me. Thanks for sharing the photo. Baker

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 11/15/12 03:40 AM

Ok mine is 32.5 X 32 for you to compare.
Glad to see your staying with us Walter!
My guess is 36...Lets ground check him!

You can fit almost 2 fingers between his bosses, he probably has 12.5in to 13.5 in bases. If that ram had 15inch bases he would be an absolute beast. He's a damn fine ram that would be in that 35inch range or very close to it (what I can tell from the pic).

See this ram is right at the 36in mark with 13.5 in bases


And this ram is 35.5inches but has 15.5inch bases, big difference in my opinion

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 11/15/12 05:13 AM

I was wondering when you were gong to post that beast.

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 11/15/12 05:36 AM

I need to get pics of the 40" one they found dead. He is an out and out stud.
Posted By: KODIAK

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 11/15/12 06:17 AM

I agree Mike that he isnt 15" mass wise. I guess around 13.5.
At that age he is only growning about an 1" or so...maybe 1.5" a year in length? ,..no more in mass except for the year he is growing in....so SHOOT HIM!!....LOL
I need to book another Aoudad hunt Mike....

STXranchman...what's Rick's 38's bases?

I don't remember, all I that I do know is he was #5 SCI at the time. So he had everything. He killed on last year that made SCI top 10 and had huge mass and I think was 36" in length. I think he has 3 in the top 15 now SCI.

Here is what they look like now. He took the big one, remounted the other one and added 2 more big ones for this mount.

yep...I agree, HUGE body can make the horns not look as big. ..

He still looks HUGE to me and would not think twice about shooting him.I like to see those age rings all stacked up in that last quarter no matter what sheep species.

That is a giant!

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 11/19/12 06:47 PM

What a trophy! Tough to know how the big the body is, but I would guess 36-37" on horns. I like the greater inside spread/more open horn configuration that he has for the wall.

BTW the 4 full body aoudads is an absolutely incredible mount

awesome mounts!

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 12/07/12 07:23 PM

Looks huge.. The circumfrence of the horns has got to be off the charts.

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 12/07/12 08:28 PM

I'm guessing 35". Mr. Schreiner, I was at you're place with Mr. Mitchell Sunday-Monday. I saw you're aoudads. THEY ARE HUGELY MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted By: chital_shikari

Re: HOW BIG IS HE???? - 12/08/12 12:29 AM

Guys, they have at least 5 more rams in that range. WRS Ranch is a very good place to hunt Hill country Aoudad!!!! (HF)
