Dall's Sheep
A legal Dall’s sheep is a ram with at least one horn that is 3/4 curl or larger. To check the curl, view the animal from the side and imagine a straight line from the base to the tip of the horn. If the line passes through the back corner of the eye, or anywhere forward of that, it is a legal ram. If the horn is broomed, imagine it as if it were whole and draw the same line. If it passes through the back corner of the eye, it is a legal, 3/4 curl ram. Every Dall’s sheep horn, whether obtained through hunting or just picked up, must have a numbered plug inserted in it. This is part of a North American sheep identification program in which many states and provinces are participating.
