I total understand that TJ but obviously a high enough quantity of rams survive to this age to be hunted in the north. Ive never stated anything about legality. I brought up the idea of a more mature(older) huntable sheep herd and was shot down and bashed because it isnt fesable as natural mortality is to high as rams get older! But seems to me saying that the norther zones having a huntable herd of at least 7-8 year olds shows it is possible to have this else where if younger rams arent shot at 4 1/2 to 6 1/2!!!!
