    I got to eat sheep loins and hold and admire the heads of stone sheep for the second year in a row after family friends had a stop over at our home in GP. Very tasty and very regal animals. Wish I would have given it a go will I was a BCer. $80000 US now for an outfitted hunt I am told. My goodness, is it true?

    I will be putting in a real effort next year for northern Bighorns, should be fun.

    Congratulations to the sheep hunters out there.

    Just wait season not over yet . If this underage resident harvest continues you will see LEH in the near future.
    Seeing some you tube videos guys have been posted I can’t believe guys are pulling the trigger on those squeaker rams.

    The CI's now have a new measuring tool they are required to use and anything under an inch over the nose, regardless of age, has to be confirmed with the regional wildlife biologist. From what our local inspector here says they're trying to stop people from shooting solely on age due to the recent amount of underage and short curl rams killed in the past couple years due to false annuli being counted.

    we got a broomed 9 yr old this year and we spent 2 days spiked out under a tarp watching him to ensure we had the age right. It was stressful.
