Warning to bc sheep hunters.

Yes, I believe you are right, it isn't the same.
IF the OP's ram was taken in Alaska, it would have been legal.
(Out of Alaskan Regs):
A legal ram under a full-curl regulation is:
• A full-curl ram, whose tip of at least one horn has grown through
360
o of a circle described by the outer surface of the horn, as
viewed from the side (Figure 1).
• A ram with the tips of both horns broken which means the lamb
tip is completely absent. Horn tips that are chipped or cracked
are not considered broken if any portion of the lamb tip is present
(Figure 2).
Lamb tip characteristics:
• a length of less than four inches;
• the inside surface of the lamb tip is distinctly concave when
compared to the remainder of the horn;
• the lamb tip is the section of a horn that is grown during the
first six months of a sheep’s life and is the section of horn
distal of the first annulus, which is the swelling of the horn
that forms during the first winter of life.
• A ram at least 8 years old as determined by counting annual
horn rings and segments (Figure 3). If a ram’s horns are not legal
based on degree of curl or broken tips, you are responsible for
counting at least 8 true annuli before attempting to take the ram.
It is difficult and ill-advised to age a ram in the field by only count
ing
horn rings because of false annuli and narrow horn segments
on older rams
.

Had me second guessing myself... had to go back and double check LOL

I'm curious what peoples opinions would be on a law like this, it would have proved effective in this case.
