What does a mature ram weigh in your area?
I have no clue but they are pretty big.
Probably 200 to 300 lbs depending on maturity.

Haven’t had any issues yet. We had a really good herd but my lease mates killed close to 12 the first year so they have been thinned out pretty good.
I haven’t shot one yet because I’m waiting on a hammer that I can mount and everything they killed was between 27-30 inches with a few ewes.
Rise….with all of these exotics on your lease, how do y’all manage who gets to kill whst animal(s)? It seems like just one person could frick everything up for everyone else.

This. There isn't enough spice to make one taste good.
The fist clue to how rank they are is when you get ready to clean one. They smell really bad.

Landowner had 12 bucks and 12 does written into the lease with unlimited exotics.
They shot them because they thought they would damage feeders but those things are $3500 to $5000 for a trophy hunt.
We changed the lease rules to:
1 trophy buck, 1 management buck, 2 doe
Sika will be 1 trophy buck 1 doe. We agreed to let them grow so they mature and the herd grows. The exception is if you see a trophy sika 8 points or better you can shoot it.
Aoudad 1 mature ram and 1 ewe.
Axis 1 trophy buck and 1 doe
Any other exotics you can shoot whatever because we don’t really have a herd. We have seen a black buck doe and couple chocolate fallows.

When we had our company lease in mountain home, the rancher we leased from wiped them all out because he was tired of them destroying all the feeders. I’m talking legs made of our sch 40 carbon steel and they would destroy every one of them. We still had a few get back on the 1400 acres here and there and they were fun to chase.

We must have nice ones
If they started tearing up feeders we would probably go after them hard.
I’m hoping to get one eventually because I’d hate to pay for this lease and then pay to go on a hunt for one. Problem is they smoked all the good rams that were just below trophy status. Going to have to wait a few years unless something comes in from another place.
