2022? That ram appears larger than at least one of the the 2021 rams.

Either I’m blind (eye tests say otherwise) or these assholes are mocking us, knowing that they’re untouchable because their ram is plugged and they’re too connected to get it taken away. That’s 100% a sub legal ram, without question.

A famous writer like this guy probably doesn’t need writing tips from me, but if you have to write a story to justify how you came to the decision to shoot some dink, 1) perhaps you shouldn’t have shot the dink 2) perhaps a magazine read by people that for the most part don’t think that killing lambs is sound conservation, is not the right audience.

Lots of good cooking mags out there. A wild, spring lamb recipe would be an instant hit.

Won’t let me give more that one thumbs up.

The issue I have is the Fall magazine and Boddington mentions his wife's upcoming unlimited hunt. It starts with this paragraph......
Now his philosophy is "if the 3 year old ram looks legal, shoot it!"

 

[shines@times]

You guys see what ram made wild sheep magazine this month??? Lol

There is a line in that very article that should have been heeded in my humble opinion. It concludes: "...or try again another year!"

 

[BigHornRam]

My WS issue came today. E mail sent to WSF voicing my concern and disgust, and asking them to stop using Boddington in the magazine. Interested to see their response.

One of the sad things about that ram is if I was the one that shot it since Im a nobody id prob be fined and it confiscated

I mentioned earlier in the discussion of this animal--I won't use the R-word--that, to me, the more troubling matter is that it was accepted as legal and plugged. If I were a bleeding leftist, I might consider "doxing" the bureaucrat who passed it.

I don't know about doxxing anyone, but I would legitimately like to see some accountability. Who from FWP was there? Were any phone calls made to superiors? They're public servants--we're entitled to know these things.

Dammit! Now you've done it! The unlimited units will be crawling with well-heeled and well-connected trophy (according to a well-known outdoor writer) hunters and their guides and their guides!

...and a more appropriate venue.

I also wondered this. Who decided this is a legal lamb? Does this set a new precedent for what others have to kill now? I wouldn't consider it a trophy. I'd consider it an embarrassment to the guide, shooter, and FWP for plugging it (along with anyone else who was on the mountain at the time and let her shoot).

 

[Carl 9.3x62]

Do the FWP bios take profile pictures of the rams when they plug them? It would be interesting to see the FWP pics/data of the Boddington ram.

 

[Jofes]

Anyone going to sheep show? Surely it will be there to put a line to lol

 

[TheTone]

And in the future if they seize a sublegal ram wouldn’t the “boddington” be a fine piece of potential evidence? The bar has been set and it’s low

No pics, but they take measurements, estimated age, and sign it. Data will be available, maybe already is.

According to the article, 4 people carefully studied the ram and concluded it was legal before she sent it. What a hunt!
