A licenced harvest of 138 rams represents 2.13% of the population (6466 animals), or 47.4% harvest rate, not the claimed 90%.
Where are the 153 Legal rams that are MISSING every year?

Dale a couple things I noticed from the numbers:
If you go through the percentages of legal rams in each zone and apply to the total number of sheep you have 361 legal rams out of 6466 sheep total, for an average of 5.6%.
However if you knock Cadomin out of there (13.3% legal rams out of 1305 sheep gives you 174 legal rams) you are left with 187 legal rams out of 5161 total sheep, for a percentage of 3.6%.
If you add the NR harvest to your total you are also looking at 168 rams taken last year.
