The reason the wait would work is if there are hunters taking smaller rams every oppurtunity. Don't know the breakdown as that data isn't available (I suspect it will be at some time). Also if there are x number of hunters and you remove any % of them the harvest numbers will be reduced, don't know by how many but it will happen.
That works if the success rate is high but it's not. There arent a lot of legal sheep out there and there is a line up of hunters to kill them. You take less than 7% of the hunters out of the pool each year and isn't going to change the harvest numbers significantly....it can't. Sure there are guys with multiple rams but unless I'm really out of touch, I can't imagine there are more than a handful of guys that kill a ram every two years. And when did management become about punishing those that work hard and are good at what they do? I would like to think that resident opportunities were equal for all.......regardless of skill level.
