Default General area for sheep

..So i was wondering since sheep hunting is draw tag in areas like 410...why do people still wait 20 some years to get a tag when some areas are general for sheep? Might sound a little naive but please enlight me..lol..or is it that those areas are depleted...which if that isnthe case begs the question...why even have it general
