New Mexico draw
« on: March 21, 2018, 04:18:29 PM »
Anyone get stuck in the server delays today trying to apply for the NM draw?  I am very disappointed to have missed applying there this year.  Yeah, yeah, don't apply on the day of the deadline but you can't have a deadline and not allow hunters to apply before it.  Not being able to apply feels worse than applying and not drawing.
I know I've lost it, let me know if you come across it

With all these state doing new security updates and passwords it’s wise to apply early just in case they have issues. We completed are online application a week ago without issues.

I was close - got kicked out of the system several times before I was successful.

Let's hope so, lots of $ riding on that draw I'd like to get back sooner rather than later if I'm not going to get a tag.

Or if you DO get a tag!!!
I’ve really been selling the wife on this “I only have a 1% chance” business. Not sure how it’ll play out if I actually draw...

Elk applied with no issues.  Would love to go back.  3 percent draw odds if I recall correctly in the unit.

Yeah if I draw a sheep tag that costs $3300, I'm going to have some serious explaining to do.  :)  Good thing I have a great wife!

Why does she have a lot of pref points to loan you so you can draw?

12 years of putting in for everything in Washington with nothing to show for it besides a couple of second deer tags with 100% odds.  First year putting in for New Mexico and i just hit the jackpot with not one but two tags!!  I think the odds were about 1 in 1000, but now i get to hunt antelope and deer in the Land of Enchantment. 

Anyway - has anyone here ever drawn a NM antelope tag where they assign you a specific ranch?  I'm curious when/how I'll get notified of my ranch assignment, the instructions are vague.

Nothing for me...hopefully the other states are more kind!

It is. I was slightly jealous when he texted me saying he drew again. Between him and I, we've drawn 3 times in NM.

No luck for me in NM this year but I applied for hunts with long odds to draw. Hope to read some success stories & see pics from members this fall.

Randy Newberg did a show on this hunt in the past season of Fresh Tracks.

I drew one of the Unit 6A early archery unguided elk tags. I didn't draw archery Ibex, but that's ok. This will be my first time hunting New Mexico, so I'm very excited!
