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.

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.

Results should be next week.

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...

Come on ibex tag lol

I’m in for elk deer oryx and ibex. Keeping the fingers and toes crossed even though I think I am in the .001 % with the tags I applied for lol.

dscubame · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2018, 06:37:27 AM »

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!

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2018, 10:15:18 AM »

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

WAcoueshunter · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2018, 09:49:52 AM »

Results are up. Good luck getting through the server though.

No tags for me.

Tbob · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2018, 11:14:28 AM »

That was painful! No NM tags for me this year!

geauxtigers · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2018, 07:08:30 PM »

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.

geauxtigers · « **Reply #17 on:** April 18, 2018, 07:29:37 PM »

With a little more searching i found it...looks like we'll get a letter in May

WoolyRunner · « **Reply #18 on:** April 18, 2018, 08:15:32 PM »

Dad drew rifke elk. 2nd year in a row. Im still 1 for 6 in NM.

idahohuntr · « **Reply #19 on:** April 18, 2018, 09:17:43 PM »

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

That there is a hot streak sir.

WoolyRunner · « **Reply #21 on:** April 19, 2018, 08:29:25 PM »

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.

Brushbuster · « **Reply #22 on:** April 19, 2018, 11:07:20 PM »

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!

I thought my luck was good, but elk two years in a row is great!
