Going to guess they wanted local aboriginals from northern alberta to win hence most of the locations to apply where very far north.
I'd imagine people wouldn't be too happy if they had to drive 3 to 5 hours away just to apply for a draw they may not get for the year.

They wanted to keep activists from pulling tags using other peoples treaty numbers online, and blocking the hunt this year, also inflating treaty applications and causing a future decrease in non-treaty opportunity next year.
That strategy (fraudulent applications) was authored by Kevin Van Tighem (of Parks Canada/Y2Y) for bighorn sheep, years ago, and is still a problem.
