6X6, your sheep are Rocky Mountain Bighorn. This is a Desert Bighorn, although there are Rocky Mountain Bighorn here in Az. as well. If your ram scores over 208 3/8", congratulations are in order, it is the new B&C World Record.

Thanks for the info Dosh. Berger 140s & 130s VLDH are what I'm running. Nice to know they work at over 600 yards.

View attachment 86171 Went along to help glass for friend's Desert Bighorn hunt. He connected yesterday at the top of the Silverbell mountains. Shot was 615 yds straight uphill from his Browning Hells Canyon Speed 6.5 CM. Hunted 13 days, had 10 days left. We never saw less than 15 sheep a day. Guide and Bighorn Sheep Society guy think it'll go around 177" B&C dried. These hunts are always a great experience.

Congratulations on a great Ram !!!

Nice sheep! They look healthier than ours. Ours up here are usually lighter in both color and body mass.
I have spent a good amount of time watching desert/Nelson bighorns but am still waiting for my tag. Biggest I have ever seen was just under 172".
