Yup your right, more rams in the mountains= more opportunity. I thought outfittere success rate was closer to 100% shot opportunity on their 15 day hunts. I know that Pete usually gets all his hunters a ram, Kip does extremely good and a B.H. In the Clearwater went a 98% over a few years. Sounds like they can't do much better already.
