Outfitter camps, and the numbers of hunters shuttled through them.

I was out for a horseback ride a couple days ago, and rode past an Outfitter drop camp. I had a nice chat with a father and son from Arkansas that were taking it easy in camp. The Outfitter in this area, has used the same 4 camps for decades around here. Two are drop camps, and two are fully guided.
I've thought many times that these camps have 4 archery hunts in them and at least 2 or maybe 3 rifle hunts later on in them. Doing the math, that means during archery season the drop camps have somewhere between 16 to 24 hunters in September and say 12 to 18 rifle hunters later on.
What are your thoughts on the productivity of these camps, having so many hunters that are occupying an area for 6 to 7weeks at a time? Do you think the game pretty much figures out that they're sharing their habitat with intruders? Yeah, I know an area devoid of big game today, and have a good population the next day when game is spooked out of the surrounding areas, but I also know that 10 x 0 = 0, when the game has moved out.
Obviously, an Outfitter has to have his clients being somewhat successful to stay in business, however I also see hunters paying big money to be Outfitted, and the game is nowhere to be found.

I wouldn't think that many hunters would go through them.
Is it a general area or OTC, LQ etc ?
Unless he just wants the $$$ and doesn't care I would think he manages his hunter numbers.
