It's a public service and I would not have ever left my ram there. I would've told him ok well I'll take it home and mount it myself and if you want it registered you know where I live and here is my lawyers number. Also I called the calgary branch first and the lady talked to me like I poached it giving me a examination about all my information and told me an officer will contact me to book an appointment. So I called cochrane took it there and still haven't got a call from calgary. It's a joke that these guys determine our hunting seasons and regulate what goes on. Don't get me wrong I know a few great ones but I haven't been impressed lately.

So has the trend been, especially with a simple search on A.O and most rams being over aged.

Ask for the annulai measurement sheet. That they should have given you a copy of.

I got a copy of the annulai measurement sheet. My ram was aged at 7 years old, I asked him why there was 9 measurements, then they changed the age on the registration paper
