What kind of sheep - heavily broomed or not

[Blockcaver]

Or get one like my first archery bighorn...a CO ram broomed well back on one side and 4-1/2" longer and basically un-broomed on the other! Love the character even if it doesn't help the score.

Fancy ram with lamb tips intact get my vote!

 

[Hackleback]

Whan you see "the one", you will know.

 

[elkguide]

When you see it, you will know. My preference would be a wider one with tips in tact but it would depend on the mountain and how it looked right then.

What you think? Had the tag for this ram. Didn't find him but did find his brother.

Double broomers are hard for me to pass on, especially if they are full curl.

But this year having been blessed and have drew a late season rifle permit for Alaska 14C Chugach; I’m going to have to change up my way of selection. Double broomers are tough to make book. Mass is the most important thing for a Dall to have to make BC minimum, but tipped out length is also important. Heavy double broomers dont make book like tipped heavy rams.

So this year I am looking for a tipped 10 plus year old ram.

Bighorns - broomed, Dall and Stones - tipped

 

[Rackmastr]

Broomed and heavy is my preference on a bighorn.....

Thinhorns I think both look pretty damn cool for their own reason

He would have been shot immediately on my tag!

Old mass monsters over younger pretty boys any day of the week.

After 20 years of trying, I drew DS203 this year. It's only March and it's hard for me to concentrate .... tipped or broomed, I'm just happy to be going.

 

[NateK]

I would take the heavier ram regardless of the tips!

 

[USMC-40]

The older one

This!!!

So what did his brother score? Love those old warriors!

 

[Halfslam]

After taking a Thin horned ram with lamb tips years ago I finally drew a California Bighorn tag and found an old, beat up, broomed ram. 10 4/8" on his last quarter measurement

 

[cabuck]

Broomed on the bighorns

 

[cabuck]

Tipped on the thinhorns

His brother was bigger, 182 Net.

Good job! I would have thought the ram in that photo would have gone high 180's, he carries his mass all the way out. Love those old rams with character.
