A total of 140,316 applications were sub- mitted for the 36,914 available authorizations. The number of applications received was three per cent higher than in 1992, while the number of authoriza- tions available was 26 per cent more than the previous year. Applicants receiving authoriza- tions to hunt were randomly selected with the aid of a comput- er. Susan Rivet, Licence Officer with BC Environment's Wildlife Branch, and Michael Ames, a systems consultant with DMR Group officiated at the draw. The odds on drawing an authorization depend entirely on the number of applications received for a particular hunt, relative to the number of autho- rizations available. For example, the odds on get- ting one of the authorizations to hunt elk in the Princeton area in the Okanagan region were one in 60, and a hunt for California bighorn sheep from the easily accessible Chilcotin Junction herd carried odds of one in 349.
