When?????

[swampokie]

17 th or 24th??? When will we know our destiny. Red? Or green? Has been no action on this in a month. Time to c some excitement on the nm forum!

I was hoping for 2 weeks early like 2 years ago but since it wasn't released yesterday, I'll say the 17th. I put in for dang near everything this year (except bighorn sheep, those odds are awful even by sheep standards). Maybe I'll get lucky and draw just one tag. Come on Ibex or elk!

Someone from New Mexico told me that means not today.

I am curious on how the change in requiring the non refundable license purchase will effect non-resident participation.

I might stop a few applicants but not enough to make any difference in draw odds. I actually started applying for more species to offset that license cost.

I predict more applicants this year than ever before

Me too. I've always applied for elk and Barbary sheep, with deer, antelope, and oryx sprinkled in on some years. I figure with the extra $70 in non-refundable I'd apply for everything I'm interested in (except bighorn, odds are just too bad to justify loaning out that money to them for 2 months). Maybe that was their plan: instead of just getting to keep my $70 license fee they got an extra $52 in extra app fees from me too!

Agreed! I think the only way to improve odds would be to limit the number of species we can apply for, similar to how Idaho does it or Utah does with the residents. They will never do it though, too much money to lose!

 

[swampokie]

I really like Idaho’s method. I for one would be in favor of sitting out a year after a q/hd draw. With the odds nm has it would help even it out

 

[swampokie]

The spectacle is upon us once again. Dreams will be realized yet most will be crushed. The most amazing countdown among all the draws The draw results are as unpredictable as the April weather in New Mexico. Not just will I draw but what week or day will they spring it in me! Could be a big week in the nm forum. Or maybe just more hollow anticipation...

 

[dustin ray]

After many years of disappoint im filling lucky this year

 

[ore hunter]

hopeful they kick out results this week.

 

[LCH]

Between NM and MT, this next week will play a heavy hand in determining how my fall shapes up..

 

[Bonecollector]

Good luck to you LCH and everyone who applied.

 

[prhunter]

Could today be the day????

 

[D_Dubya]

I bet tomorrow. Today it’s still all dreams of bugles and mountain mornings; tomorrow kicking the dog and cussing the NMDGF!

 

[zpooch]

couple of long shots for me....sure I'll be red. Tomorrow hopefully we'll know

Trying to remember how the back door works i just tried to buy a lic. and the system says i already have a lic ?

License is non-refundable now, so that method won't work. The backdoor methods used to drive me crazy, now I just wait very impatiently for the official results. Please NM release them tomorrow!

Good luck everyone!

Ok thanks for bursting my bubble
Im still filling lucky this year
