2025 NM draw results

[ImBillT]

We move to ID soon. Couldn't ethically put in as a resident, and there was no way to put in as an NR. Guess I will go with OTC tags once we get to ID.

You paid your taxes there for many years, so I don’t see why it would be unethical as long as the law says you’re a resident. If NMGF requires that you are still as resident at the time of the hunt, then it would be unethical.

Why could you not apply as a non-resident? You just check the box that says non-resident and then pay roughly 10X the money depending on what species you’re talking about.

If I was a betting man, I would guess:

1. 18th consecutive year of not drawing antelope.
2. red on elk, oryx and barbary sheep.
3. green on 3rd choice deer, in a unit I haven't hunted before.
4. Results out 4/16 for peasants, late 4/15 for e-tag folks.

This is my year. Probably hit Sheep and Ibex!

About ten years of applying as an out of state person for NM, I expect all red. The ONLY tag I have ever drawn is oryx this last year. I’ll take the luck for that draw, but man, I really want to hunt deer or elk in NM. Maybe this last year was the dam breaking loose?!?!?

Good luck everyone (for all the units I am not applying to

I drew a bull tag as NR, then moved here in July. Actually got 6 landowner tags by Sept, as resident.
Hunted 6a and filled the tag. NR.
Could not give away any of those 1st few years LO tags.

You mean they didn't email y'all yet?

Lots of people would give up elk and deer tags for 10 years to just hunt Oryx once....never seen someone make it like a bad thing that they drew an Oryx tag haha

 

[CarterHunt]

I have a feeling I'm going to draw something in New Mexico this year. I had a pretty epic run of bad draw luck last year, so it's time for the tag gods to show me some favor.

 

[NoWiser]

Expecting my 11th consecutive year of nothing but red. Many of those years included “easy” to draw tags. This year I went big for every species, though.

 

[brownbear932008]

Probably all red for me like usual!

 

[utah400elk]

Apparently red is my favorite color! Well, at least in NM.

No doubt. Just calling out how statistically that’s pretty crazy to have the first and only of the tags be an oryx tag after putting in so many years for tags with significantly “better” odds.

 

[TexanSam]

Green on Moose and Mountain goat!

 

[RunNGunSC]

I’m due and this would be a great year for me to head that way! About 20-25% combined odds on 6 apps.

 

[Valley1320]

I expected @Valley1320 to post some fake draw results Tuesday but I guess he's busy. Who's getting excited to draw a tag? Or for you pessimist who's ready for some rejection? I know we're all excited for some fish stocking reports.

That was to soon for anyone to fall for

If it’s the 16th that’ll be great either way. I’ll be chasing turkeys in Idaho and expecting all red in New Mexico but who knows.
