When you register the sheep after the kill they drill and pin or plug the horn with an aluminum plug that has the info numbers on it. Its done high enough on the horn and/or in a heavy enough spot so that it does not interfere with removing the horn from the core. Its also done behind and below so that it doesnt readily show.


for dall sheep too?

yes thanks I know they plug them in some areas but are all sheep done this way such as dall sheep in alaska?
