    I’m going to guess 9 or 10. But as I understand from some of the threads on here, you’re only allowed to count the lines you can see, not what’s been beat off in which case it would be 7-8.

    And that’s only a guess, because I dont have any experience. I live in Alberta and here they’re judged by curl for legality, not age. I’m hoping one of the experienced guys breaks it down for us.

    He’s not broomed enough to be 9-10. I count 7 rings starting at the first ring that’s 3” from the tip of the horn

    Are we looking at a photo taken in early Spring or late Fall or somewhere in between?

    Honest question here. I would think the first ring from the broomed tip on that ram is the 2nd year anuli. If that's the case I think he's 8 at least possibly 9. The regs say at least 8 years based on rings as determined by the wildlife manager or his designate. Do you only count the first visible ring as the 1st year regardless of being broomed off? Thanks!
