And when it comes right down to it the people that build their priorities to well above what is required to draw don't increas wait times, they reduce them. I had my antlered mule priority up to P13 one time because I was spending more time on sheep and elk for several years. I could have drawn at least two tags if I didn't use the 999 option at the time ,which is two tags other people drew instead of me. If 10% of applicants choose priority only, you are only competing with the other 90% for your tags. If half of those people decide to use their priority every year, you are still only competing with 95% of applicants. There is no way that less people competing with you can decrease your odds of drawing.
As for draws like 437 sheep, canceling the priority option won't reduce the wait times, it already would take longer than a lifetime, if you started applying now.
