They can kill an awful lot of sheep....especially a female with kittens. As most hunters target toms, it's unlikely that a lot of the sheep killers are actually getting taken out of the population, even where they are hunted.
SG, have you got a number of how many short rams are shot in a year? I can't imagine it's that many but I could be out to lunch.
