Just amazing that over 50,000 never got drawn and 2 applicants got 5!
 
I would wager that those 2 people put in for very low odds hunts. Some draws are undersubscribed and everyone that enters wins. Usually they are in remote hard to access areas.

Every year I get questions from people asking about the best way to hunt a particular area in the Cariboo they drew. Usually when I suggest they start by purchasing a very large boat they seem to loose all interest ................

put in for:
1001
2141
4018
5037
7028
3029

and it is likely you'd go 6/6

put in:
0001
1006
2033
4099
5099
6001
7070
3080

and it is likely you will never be drawn in your lifetime for anything.
 
That's funny MiG.

I like that.

I'm impressed with your research.

Mt. Edziza grizzly bear. That's a good one!
 
not so bad this year
i put in for region 3 mulie doe , region 5 moose, region 7-20 zone a antlerless elk...... i got the elk draw only.
we never put in for group hunts but out of out 4 man hunting crew and one extra that will join us this year, we got:

2 region 5 bull draws , the two young fellas got the tags this year
3 region 7-20 zone a antlerless elk tags , the two young fellas and me
a region 2 mulie doe and a region 3 mulie doe.

so not so bad.
was my wife's first time in the LEH with a new hunter number (last oct) and she got nadda :( , she's digusted with the LEH process too , considering her odds across the board for being drawn for moose in a 100+ tag opening should have been spot on.
 
Even you get a draw, it still means little. Wolves numbers are exploding. I was at 5-12 last year, I saw more wolf signs than the cattle's

Everything is getting more expensive except game hide. Trappers don't have the passion to go after wolves as before.
 
I shoot wolves on sight when hunting Moose or Elk [within the limits, of course]
But they are becoming a problem, no doubt about it.

I cannot complain about limited entry myself.
Since it began in 1979/80, I have put in for 5 or 6 draws each year.
Two years I have drawn zip, the rest I have drawn at least 1 animal.

This year it is a region 7A moose, thank you!
