Actually, that $85,961 is total REVENUE, not profit! I don't know what the profit is, though they obviously don't have much overhead, pun intended. (Office in the basement?
)
And there is an audit of sorts. The draw is actually done on the Tuesday following the close of the Expo at the Salt Lake DWR office, at 9:00am. The draw takes about 12 to 15 minutes. It's an open public meeting where they have some of the attendees sign a statement that verify the results, and then that report is available at the DWR/Wildlife Board Expo Permit Audit meeting, which this year is Aug 30.
