999 in my opinion is a great took for planning a hunt. How can you complain about a hunter intentionally moving backwards in line to allow another to come up for another year.

A person who applies and is successful for a draw and then doesn't use it, is essentially taking that opportunity away from someone who would have bought and hunted under that successful draw.
The mandatory purchase is also guaranteed revenue... a good budgeting tool for the SRD to use knowing that X number of licenses will be sold in 2014 etc.
