After 3.5 years, what are the odds it's a different ram that just has similar features?

If I can get a picture he's wider and has around 6 more inches in length now.

He’s a young ram. And he’s probably only 25-26” at best.
Google a 35” ram. They are massive.
An aoudad takes 8-10 years to approach shooter size.

An aoudad takes 8-10 years to approach shooter size. Those pic's are old pic's, I'm guessing he was around 5 years old then and i agree he was around 25 to 26 inches then.

After getting a better look at him, I believe I'm way off on the 35 mark but he put on a lot of weight, mass and length.

I haven't seen enough Aoudad to be jumping out there and guessing scores, hoping some of the experienced Aoudad outfitters will jump in. I tried to get as many angles as I could, I've got more pic's.

Hey Mike, I have a new 6.5/284 that WTO built me that's still a virgin. Let me shoot him and you can get allllllllllll the pics. That boy will die of old age if he stays on the ranch. Why won’t they let y’all hunt on that place? Maybe one of these days if the population gets to be a nuisance but right now they pose no problem, they rarely come off the mountains. Nobody hunts the ranch and that's the way they like it, it's got the most natural of critters to be found in West Texas. Only thing that get's shot here is Feral Hog's and Coyotes. To be honest I like it that way, with me covering 70 to 100 miles a day just on the ranch I get to see some nice Deer, Aoudad and all the other critters that live out here. I hunt them with my camera's.

If you find his remains it would be interesting to see how big he is at the time of his natural death. Found a lot of dead critters out here but I've yet to find a dead Aoudad. To be honest I'd like to find one. Early man has left a few of their flint knapping kit's to be found several thousands of years later. Two that I've seen they were using horn and bone that came from sheep (Big Horns or what ever was there when they were around) They used bone and horn as both pressure and percussion tools and I'd like to make some replica's of those tools. Sheep bone is the densest of all four legged animals making it the strongest and most durable. It doesn't have to be a ram since most will be cut up to make the tools. Maybe I'll get lucky and my processor can score me some horn and a leg bone or two.

Aoudad horn isnt very durable, most ive seen are sort of soft and brittle. It’s not like a bighorn horn.
Their bones are damn tough though.
