The left side underneath his chin doesn’t even start to curl back up. He had to check it, so it has to be legal, right?

Just because you take a ram in to get it checked doesn’t mean you leave with it.

Can’t believe someone would post a picture of an illegal ram.

Does it have to be 3/4 curl in MT?

If you summed both sides it might make it. 3/8ths + 3/8ths and you go yourself a legal ram.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a dented primer. But you never know when you are out in the field. It might have been more obvious from where he was at. Looks to be a 4.5 year old ram by the looks of it.

He says he did.
If all is square and legal, good for him. But I agree—I just don’t see how any animal is worth the risk of being on the wrong side of right.

Its impossible for us to tell from that one angle.

What's not impossible to tell is that ram is a total dink. Ugh. To each they're own though.

Wells it isn't a monster for sure. I wonder how many would pass this ram if they knew it was a completely legal ram beyond a shadow of a doubt. Personally..........I would struggle for a few seconds and then I would start the picture taking process. Almost positive I would start my 7 year wait.

If I were hunting an unlimited unit and was sure a ram was legal, I would probably have a hard time passing on it myself, especially knowing I could go back after “The Big One” in seven years.
I thought all these big money optics with their newfangled tech had MT ram legality sensors built in? If not, please feel free to pass along my technical drawings to Swarovski’s development unit.
In all seriousness, I’d have absolutely* shot that ram in an unlimited unit if I could be 100% certain it was legal.

Yep, I there with ya. Not good long term management for the herds to shoot young rams.

It's like the region 5 bear quotas and guys shooting those small sows, and closing down the season. Bad form. Just my opinion.

I am glad I'm not the only one with reservations about that ram. If I shot that my stress would be so high on the packout before checking it in my stomach would be acting like I ate some of @EYJONAS! famous snacks.

Maybe 3 years old. I wouldn't even think about it. Let them get older.
