Most (probably not all but most) of the 2B tags will eventually be sold. Since they havent sold out in a while, there's no urgency among the locals around here to get one. I generally try to see to it that 6 or 7 does get taken from my area in 2B whether by me, a friend or my kids. I usually buy 3-4 tags before season and get more over the counter as needed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who buys their second, third etc after taking one.
There's also the guys who simply wait till just before gun season and another group that chooses to get 2B's after not scoring further from home.
