Did you give this outfitter a deposit? He’s probably already spent it. He’s full of doo doo…Thanks for the updates. To clarify, we have been applying and planning to go on a guided hunt. We are not going to wait this long to do self guided as there are other states that we go for that. We just want the opportunity for our having to wait this long. Our outfitter has said for 5 years that we should have drawn but we arent so lucky. We have been on several archery hunts in units 13 and 17 in New Mexico with minimal success that holding a firearm would have made a difference.
Going to have to get REALLY lucky to draw an early rifle/muzzleloader tag. You might want to find another outfitter that specializes in late rifle/muzzleloader.
