Montana Unlimited Sheep Stolen

I'm not making any accusations, but I don't think the wardens' suspicions are entirely crazy. If you killed a ram, called it in immediately, and then realized or became concerned that it might be sub-legal before you took it in to get sealed, wouldn't this be the easiest way out to keep your trophy and avoiding being ticketed? Or if you killed it and immediately realized it was sublegal, but you had an audience so you've got to keep acting like it is all on the up and up, you might call it in before figuring out a plan.

I'm guessing that FWP has seen people try to pull something like that in the past, and they have to be suspicious for the sake of due diligence.

I don't have a precise understanding of the how the whole process works (or the regs in the unlimited districts), but my guess is that's what the wardens are thinking. Again, to the OP, I'm not trying to make accusations or cast suspicion on your buddy. I can't imagine how sick I would be if someone stole a trophy like that from me.
