I can clarify things - in BC there are wildlife management units that are open to all but dalls. We have 4 species in BC, dalls require a draw. Mixed in and amongst those open units are closed units that require draws, like the area that hemi took his ram in.

Hemi - those are kamloops rams, closed and will never be hunted. Several of those sheep I took pics of would go within the top 5 B&C if killed.
You should send me an email to [email protected] - I am heading down your way this fall elk hunting we could grab a coffee. Still living down towards bridesville? Did you end up getting any more rams? I know you were off after them a couple years ago...
