Ya I imagine the pressure will increase a ton. Wouldn't want to be there opening week. Especially with the early start in the north most guys will take advantage of the better weather and 4/5 Rams. Last year in red deer at the banquet we were told that they don't even know what the carrying capacity for sheep on their ranges is, so why are we trying to reduce hunter success if we don't even know if it needs to be done? To me this change is all about making higher scoring Rams which equals more money to outfitters. I have zero issues with outfitters earning a living, one day I'll book a hunt or two myself, the problem I have is when they get something out of it and as residents we lose opportunity.
