well said. my opinion scrap the age rule by counting the anuli. bridge the nose caller good. those rams that broom short of the nose. well lucky for them. Why would anyone take a chance on a 7 year old sheep with lam tips thats hard to judge. if hes way over giver. if hes hard to tell . just walk a little further.
my opinion.
Id rather have a double-broomed rule on top of full curl like Alaska. Passed on a couple of those that I bet were the oldest rams I’ve ever seen. Both very dark horned, tough to count annuli. A beat up old broomed ram is more desirable to me than a younger lamb tipped preppy looking thin horn, and imo would help with the older age class harvest percentage…
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

Agreeeeeee ! Here !
I'd rather have a old heavy broomed 11 yr. Old 2 inches short of the nose than a 8 yr just past the nose

Another thing that find strange is a member on here has shot a ram this year and has posted his story on a few american sights, which is fine
the part i find strange is in the story he says B.C. has a large number of illegally harvested rams this year so many that the CO service has reached out to the B.C.
sheep society about it . Why would the society not bring that up on here and other sights to bring it to peoples attention. If it was and i didnt see it i appoligize.
