Maybe increase the number of draw opportunities? Take back the outfitter and non resident tags, this adds +/- 20% to the number of tags available to the residents, harvest success rates being equal.
Add an early season archery draw - that may pull an additional 10-20% of applicants out of the rifle draw pool.
Now add a three week muzzleloader season in October - that may again pull 10%-20% out of the rifle draw pool.
Now the rifle draw pool has 30-40% fewer warm bodies applying and has 20% more tags. That will shorten or help to shorten draw times.
Get it?

Works in some zones. How bout zones with say 5 moose tags and a Aug. 25th - Sept. 15th bow season. Sept. 15 - Nov. 30 rifle season? All covered under them 5 tags and one draw. Also has possibly 1 NR tag and has 102 actual applicants not including those waiting on 999 to apply? Total guys looking for these tags are unknown unless you had to 999 by zone. As I believe antlered moose has 10,000+ applicants sitting under the 999 designation.
Explain how you would split these type seasons when the large number of applicants are 999ing?
