It is totally amazing how the general membership on this site will support anything that is shot by a fellow hunter. Then if someone is convicted of an infraction they become the scum of the earth.
It should be loud and clear by now and after the last couple of sheep hunting seasons, that the compulsary inspection process is a joke. Every year on this site I see more and more dink rams shot and passed by our inspectors.
These same Rams are looked at by many on here as great accomplishments and those shooting them instantly become classified as sheep hunters.
I would like to ask some questions to those congratulating these dink sheep. First off please tell me what these hunters are doing for the conservation of one of the most sought after spiecies of big game in North America. Then please tell me how someone can take one of these dinks into a taxidermy shop, pay to mount it, hang it on thier wall and look at with a feeling of pride and accomplishment. Myself, I would feel utterly disgusted that I had shot an immature ram that had not yet even started breeding ewes. It would leave me with the feeling of being a baby killer and all the remorse, that would come to a normal human being with that title.
Lastly. There is enough information on the pages of this forum and many knowledgeable sheep hunters, even without BC rams and SSS to help any new sheep hunter with all the tools to make a wise informed decision when looking at a Ram through his scope. Why, if we are hunters and conservationists do we see many year after year make the same mistakes.
So far this year has been disgusting.
