2025 NM draw results

Never have drawn any tag from New Mexico and still didn’t this year, even with one hunt going into the guide pool had 80 percent draw odds according to GOHUNT but oh well maybe there is another tag to be drawn or raffle ticket to be won that would have interfered or not allowed the time off of work to go on them all.
 
Fish in a barrel I hear, did you write up a story by chance? I'm super excited been wanting to hunt them forever high on the list.
I did not do a write up. Oryx aren't hard to find there, don't shoot the first one you see, you will see plenty. I decided I wasn't going to shoot the first day and just glassed multiple spots all day long. Killed mine early on morning two.

Local deer and missed out on elk.
...but I know a guy...
But draw odds would improve if you had to choose to go into the draw, or hunt e-plus, but could not hunt e-plus after failing to draw. Currently everyone who can only go into the draw is also fighting against people who will get an elk tag even if they don’t draw.

I hold nothing against anyone who takes advantage of the rules. I may hold a little against someone who only wants the rules to benefit them. I have come to the conclusion that I should avail myself of every advantage the rules allow, even if I don’t like the rule. It’s okay to take advantage of the rules while advocating for better rules.

I hope you get a great elk this year!

Morning, FNG here. My son drew unit 23, elk, rifle, this year. It will be his first hunt of anything!!! Well, he killed a bunny last fall. He's USMC combat vet.. Anyway, he's letting me go as camp cook. At least I get to go!! I'm in TX so, it kinda hard to help him scout. So far he looking near Dinner Canyon off 288. if y'all can help me help him with info that would be assume. I can't make a new thread as I'm new. If there is another place I should post, please let me know.
Thanks
Casey
