I can see a need for adjustment
My suggestion
1) Draws that involve long wait times(10 + year priority for example) make these draws random. Those successfully drawn may not apply for this tag for say 5 years after successfully drawn.
2) Fix definition of resident. Alberta must be primary residence for say 6 months or a year before you are a resident hunter.
3) Remove non residents from same draw pool as residents
I don't believe big increases on fees will help anything. A small increase in the price of applying for draws would be fine if the $ goes to wildlife management. But this would do nothing to change wait time issues.
Just my opinion
