And there arent very many F&W officers that have seen a bighorn in the wild let alone understanding up from down about judging them.

Considering there isn't a jurisdiction in North America that allow bighorns to be shot on age, I think that says something. Growth rings, especially on southern Alberta rams can be very indistinct.....definitely not obvious enough to determine legality at a distance through a spotting scope.
