This undated photo provided Tuesday, May 28, 2019, by Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium in Springfield, Mo., shows the skull and horns of a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, displayed at the museum. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game will not recognize as a state record a bighorn sheep killed nearly three years ago by a Nez Perce Tribe member because the agency says the ram was shot in violation of state hunting rules. That's even though those regulations do not apply to tribe members on ancestral lands. But the Boone and Crockett Club hunting group has recognized the kill by hunter Sublett in September of 2016 as being within his tribe's 1855 rights. (Shelby Stephenson/Wonders of Wildlife via AP)
