I just saw this, I hope it is not a repost. I was suprised that the undercover agent actually killed the ram. Was killing it an acceptable option in trying to get a conviction? I just have a bad feeling about this. I don't know all the facts, but it is hard to imagine a circumstance where letting the ram walk wouldn't be an option.

State investigators filed felony and misdemeanor charges against a Whitehall taxidermist and two other men this week in connection with the shooting of a record bighorn sheep in the Missouri Breaks last fall.
An undercover Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks agent shot the sheep after purposely missing it a number of times over the course of a couple days, according to court documents.
Since last fall, the killing of the ram, which reportedly measured 204 inches on the Boone and Crockett scale, has been a hot topic on the Internet, with chat-room rumor mills churning out all kinds of speculation and accusations regarding the death of the bighorn ram and the actions of the undercover agent.
