Take the good old ram . save the lamb tipped 6.5 yr old YOU would kill instead, save the crown prosecutor a bunch of $$$ . Hunter has a real trophy to boot. STOP and THINK a BIT, If it is an outfitter and the client chooses to take a chance and is the thickness of a piece of paper short why would you want to take this ram away when the outdfitter loses his next available tag. Trading a dead ship for a live sheep that ends up still alive seems way better then 2 dead sheep especially if the dead sheep is an old boy

Where do you draw the line at SHORT sheep? I don't believe killing a squeaker ram is an ethical sheep hunting practice! Maybe your example of 18 in. Bases and 10/11 years old is doable but at what limit do you draw the line?
