438 is a separate draw code, lottery tag. Put all other 400 zones on draw and that will be a different code, separated by WMU's. How many general tags sold last year? (I'm feeling lazy right now and don't want to look). Think I saw a number of 2000 thrown out there. So safe to assume probably around 2000 draw applicants then? What was last years harvest? Once again, lazy, so lets say 150. Let's say if harvest was dropped to approx. 100 rams, should provide a better quality hunt in terms of trophy size in a couple years. That is a third less rams harvested, and that theoretically being done by reducing number of tags from 2000 to 1400. Remember success rates are pretty low on sheep. 1400 tags being applied for by 2000 hunters. Hardly once in a lifetime. These are just numbers thrown out there mind you.
