Yup.....killed a ram that was doing just that a month ago. I've heard stories about "dark horned" rams living in the spruce trees.....I would never have believed it but the guy who was telling me this a few years ago is a total sheep nut....and I've learned to trust them old fellas. We finally found one this year
I'll post a few pics later this week once they're all downloaded.
As far as brooming goes I fall into the category of them doing it to see better. Most 8 yr old horns I've seen have very little if any brooming but by 9 they've really started to do it.....don't find too many "pretty" 15yr old rams.....but what they lack in "pretty"......they make up for in the "cool factor"!!!!!
