More than 45,000 people have signed up to kill hundreds of bison in an extremely rare Grand Canyon National Park hunt.
Out of those 45,000 people, very few people are going to get in for the hunting offer.
The massive number of people are a result of the rare call that was sent out by the National Park Service.
They are currently seeking out for skilled shooters that can help them thin out a bison herd that has been destroying resources in the area.
Anyone that gets accepted in the hunters list will be allowed to kill one bison out of the 300 to 400 strong herd.
90 of the herd have been transported from the north rim of the Canyon to the Native American tribal lands.
The NPS said that the goal bison population in the Canyon is currently at 200.
The event is not classified as a hunt right now because authorities are allowed to permit volunteers to kill animals that are posing as a threat to resources.
The NPS advert, which was posted last week, said that animals had been trampling archaeological and other materials in the area.
They are also spoiling the water supply of the area.
Matt Mallery, an archaeologist, said that the plan of the park is a cost-effective way of containing the bison population.
Experts like Mallery are saying that this will be helping the park regulate the ecosystem and provide an opportunity for harvesting organic bison meat.
Archaeologist Matt has applied to join the shoot too.
