I would pass on that could be called a brow tune in my opinion.

Ya the sheep looks 8 to me, but I think it would be hard for me (rookie sheep Hunter) to confidently judge 8 on that on a live animal unless I could somehow get a look at the top side of the horns and see an obvious dark ring underneath ring #7. I definitely would have a hard time taking my first ram based on age only if it looked like that.

Re: LEGAL or ILLEGAL: A thread to sharpen each other through debate.
first of all awesome thread
for some reason i was under the impression that spike fork couldn't be more than 2 on one side and couldn't start palming on the other side. reading the regs i don't see that anywhere not sure where i got that.so basically if im not mistaken as long as you have 2 point or less on one side it doesn't matter how big the other side is?
this is what confuses me looks like it cant be bigger than 3 point on one side
http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/attach...tid=7473&stc=1
1.would need to see his right side looks like i might see a 3rd piont but on that pic wouldnt shoot
2.looks like a spike on his right again wouldnt shoot unless get better angle of right side
3.wouldnt shoot looks to be broken from what i can see
4.this one is strange def would need to see the other side. so no on this angle

I really appreciate that you have all respectfully weighed in. Let's keep this going in this direction. There are a lot of rules that we have "inherited" or read in ourselves. I think that this thread is a great way to expose all of us with our biases, opinions and pre-conceived notions. I'm loving your answers and questions, and the especially the honesty. I have to admit, I'm having a hard time biting my tongue right now, but this is a great excercise for all of us. Great job, keep em coming.
