I agree with this, I have said to myself that I will not shoot a sqeeker for this reason. I have heard, and it might just be gossip around the people I have talked with but there are alot of rams every year that get shot and walked away from because they are too short. I for one world not pull the trigger if they are this close but I know not everyone feels this way. I'm not sure how the athorities are supposed to police every mountain and valley. It is impossible to do this in non mountain terrain. If people shoot and then go look, even more younger rams die every year.
