How to Field Judge and Score Desert Bighorn Sheep Part 2

Field Judging and Scoring Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep
Here is a great picture that was taken by Colburn and Scott Outfitters guide Darr Colburn on Nov. 2nd 2010 while scouting for Ron Arndorfer's AZ Unit 44B North Sheep Hunt.  That was a magical day of photographing and videoing good rams.  On that day we were accompanied by good friend and professional wildlife photographer Julie May.  We were all able to capture some great shots of the "Logo Ram" and his friends.  Later during his hunt, Ron ended up harvesting the ram on the right and it completed his Grand Slam of sheep.  What does the "Logo Ram's" buddy score?

Below are photos of two Arizona Desert Bighorn rams with completely different shaped horns.  The ram on the right is from the last blog post on Field Judging and Scoring Desert Bighorn sheep, we know his measurements and his Net score.  In case you don't want to click on the other link here are his measurements, Right Horn-36, 14 3/8, 14, 12 4/8, 9 4/8=86 3/8 and Left Horn-34 1/8, 14 3/8, 13 6/8, 12 5/8, 9 4/8=84 3/8 for a total of 170 6/8 gross and 170 3/8 Net.  So what do you think this other ram (pictured on left) scores?  Length of each Horn? What are his bases?  What are his quarter measurements?  Total score?
