Yes it would have worked in this case but there is cases in alaska were it hasnt were one of thge horns wasnt broomed enough etc
so same thing could happen. People just have to learn they dont have to shoot something and be sure that if they do it is legal
under they regs. The EK used to also be full curl or 8 seen a fair number of rams shot that people said they thought they were
8 so that rule was taken away now its full curl, still rams are shot that people say they thought they were full curl. Some have taken
more then one short ram, some of the storys of how they were full curl before they were shot then ended up short are a little crazy as well.
Watched a guy shoot a young ram one day he had a LEH ewe tag thought it was a ewe. Another guy shoots a 3/4 curl lamb tip ram in
a full curl area.
Im with BV I think certain areas have to go on LEH, and there is some talk that more may happen in the EK but may just be talk.
What I see is 7.5 years shown by anual growth. Most likely the ram is 8.5 years old but its not full curl and it does not clearly show 8 anuli? It would be one of those rams that if you had of shot it you would be walking up to it with your fingers crossed. Many of the sheep in this area have thick bases at an early age in life. But the regs say 8 anuli or full curl.. Thats how you keep sheep on the sidehill. Let em walk if your not 100% sure..
Legaly I would have to go with the CI.

Another reason to deal with people from stone country for aging and taxi work. Not the first age ‘botching’ I’ve seen on here that were aged by those who don’t look over dozens of rams a season for decades. Too bad, was a nice ram...
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..
Thank you for sharing this. I made it quite a few years ago now, it's due for some updating.https://bchuntingblog.com/blog/2012/...-in-the-field/

CO's and bios can get it wrong. Back in 2002, we got a couple of Stones. Decent ones, but not book worthy. The inspector (back then it was at the ministry branch in surrey), said to me, "so where did you get this Bighorn?" I smiled and told him, close to the Yukon border. Then he insisted, where did I get this Rocky? I've hunted thinhorns religiously for the last 20 years, and to this day, I still don't know why he thought it was a bighorn....
