Getting a Sawtooth B tag is a nightmare for residents, too. They have a total of 1800 B tags. On a set day, they put half of them on sale through vendors at 10am. At 1pm, they put the other half on sale online. They sell out as fast as you can type your name.
I've hunted it a lot. Used to be that we'd apply for draws in a closer unit, then if we didn't draw, come August we'd wander down to a local vendor and get Sawtooth tags. Then one year they were sold out in Aug. The next year they were sold out in July. The place had been discovered. Now it's a big mess. To cut down on competition, they decided that if you failed to draw in another hunt, you couldn't buy a tag until 5 days after they went on sale. Of course even 5 hours would be too late. Only those who hadn't applied for a hunt can buy them at starting time so they get them all.
