The full curl rule makes about as much sense as having a member of PETA be the biologist on hunting related issue.

There were a lot of older rams this year that were nowhere near full curl. Not sure what problem they are trying to solve but if they are concerned about age thy just need to implement government harvest fees on rams under 8 years old and have a 1/2 curl restriction. every year the ram is closer to 5 the harvest fee goes up exponentially. Age by rings and if there is a dispute pull a tooth and have it aged. That would deter people from shooting a 5 year old full curl with lamb tips but would allow a 10+ year old ram to be harvested that is heavily broomed. If the government Is really concerned with growing big horns on sheep all they need to do is look at Cadomine or the Missouri breaks, great feed = great horns. Imagine the rams they would have if they did some burns in K Country!
I agree with this post other than charging more money. If you want to pay huge money "YOU" go pay it somewhere else. Hunting should not have ever had $$$ atached to it. Comments about $$$ for hunting sickens me.
