the original problem was "short rams being shot" ! wow i'd hate to be one of those guys. I've passed on a few that were just too close, not that the age would really have mattered, but if it's too close too call i'm not shooting! At bow range i looked one over for 15 mins and still couldn't decide, so no shot ! whether it's my inexperience with judging them, or being too carefull, i have yet to tag one. but if it isn't an obvious legal ram , pass it up ! I can live with that alot better than walking down the mountain and heading into F+W with a questionable ram !
Too bad more people don't realize the rare oportunity to hunt sheep on a general tag is ! A few minutes on the internet and they'd realize what the costs are for this kind of hunting elsewhere and maybe show a bit of restraint and respect for the future of this oportunity!
I'm not sure that a draw is the answer either. Does anyone know how many legal rams are shot a year ?
