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.

The possible answer for your issue described is....you need to pick a single WMU area and be eligible to only pull a tag there....so you can build priority but you are dedicated to an area, that way the scenario you described is minimized.
Or everyone just decides to put in for the 1-2 "trophy" zones....then you are back to a 437 sheep issue where you are stuck there and there are people ahead of you.
In any priority based system there will always be people in the front if the line....and ones in the back.
