Sadly there are only a few ways in which to lower wait times, only a few of which are beneficial to the plan.
Note: These are the available options how I see it and I don’t necessarily agree with each point below!
Strict residency requirements to be able to enter our draws
Strict residency requirements to be able to hunt
Give out more tags
Add more animals to hunt (not happening)
Split the draws based on weapon choice, can only choose 1 option to enter
Close up loopholes people use to enter draws and do not use the tags themselves
Make tags and draws cost more to eliminate some participation.
Limit how many draws one person can enter each year
Make all stakeholders take a reduction in allotment the years number are down
Change the hunter host, in that for whatever species drawn it becomes a partner tag instead of making it so everyone (host and hosted) must hold their own tag.
Make a portion of the high priority tags a straight lottery, you can enter the priority or the lottery not both
These are the options I see available.
