Please acknowledge you understand this point I have been trying to make 
It's not like a high priority guy keeps the tag out of the draw pool if he 999's it. It allows someone else to pull it.

You don't understand what I'm saying. Of coarse the same number get draw every year. But with 999 guys they can bump the years to be draw pretty easy. Take for instance a dozen absolute monster elk come out of Suffield next year including a new world record. Now all them high priority 999 guys( many of whome just wanr an easy big elk) are going to enter that draw and the year wait will double bumping that guy that has actuall put in every year to hunt there.
Second increase draw entry costs and that will eliminate even more guys because they will dedicate their monies to only animals they really wish to hunt.
It's nothing to do with more tags it's the need for less applicants and lowering the number of high priority guys that don't really care to hunt that animal but do just because they can.
