Sheep require the top half of the skull which includes nasal bone. Moose just the skull cap and horns and proof of sex attached to cape.
Those whiskey Jack's are pretty crafty but a cool bird. They seem to like the fat off any animal the best.
One of the worst jobs for me was having to take the client and his trophy to the COs and get it inspected. They would always have dumb reporting times and make you wait around for ages when you could be doing other things on a trip to town after weeks in the bush. If any resident hunters were there at the same time they would grill you for info.

2 years back the 2018 season. We have some enept con officers. A guide took a 15 year old nanny a few years back that was solo and barren and horns where just about touching at it bases. The officer started bagging the guide for filling the tag wrong. Before the guide had to point out the vag. In fairness it was a very Billy like nanny with horns curled pretty smoothly more similar to a Billy and alot of mass down low and very long 10 3/8s just spindly up top. I think that and a few other issues they have had with bears means we bring everything we can easily. We leave a testicle on each rear quarter, take the jaw, and puzzle on the Cape. Maybe its not required now but I swear the last I red the regs for us it was required.

Funny story but the penis on the cape isn't a sure thing lol one of the guides took a Billy that had ripped its dick off somehow. Right between the legs so the penis in front of this shriveled up and effectively disappeared. It was his first year and maybe first Goat as a solo guide and the outfitter lost his shit before he realised he'd brought a cap back with no dick (testes attached to the rear quarters. The entire belly skin was stained yellow as it just sprayed itself. No fences up there to get hung up on so would love to know what actually happened to it.
