It is my understanding that the landowner/tenant tags get first priority, upto 50% of the tags. For example, if there are 10,000 available tags and there are 5,000 landowner/tenants that applied for the tags, then that's all that they would get and the non-res. would get the other 5,000, but if only 4,000 landowner/tenants apply for the tags, then 6,000 become available for non-residents.
This may not be right either, but I think this is how it works! Either way, it will make it hard for a non-resident to get a tag, unless you're a KS. landowner that lives in a different state, and then you still get preference!
