Are the New Mexico hunt codes messed up?

[Nickofthewoods]

That's what I did too. If thats the case I feel like there will be some folks getting private land tags by accident

I'm really curious why they don't have some of those hunts listed in the regs. If you accidentally select the wrong one on your application the text that says "private land only" is really small so I can definitely see people making that mistake.

There is a part of the app where you are forced to assert you have access to private. Check the box thing. Pretty sure.

Here we go again, procrastinators waiting till the last minute, and have issues.

Normally I’d agree but considering you have to front $8285 to apply for everything, I can’t blame them….

So what's this I hear about the deadline delay in new mexico for there draw

I got confused as well I think they did change some of the hunt codes this year but when applying it all made sense as they have the unit numbers and season dates lining up with the actual unit so you can double check it is the right one. Maybe this is the year..

Not to mention having to drop $10K upfront..... the wife loves seeing that hit.

Imagine actually drawing for everything you applied for!

Is "state network issues" a face saving way of describing what happened? I couldn't find any news mention of state wide internet issues in New Mexico.

I heard somebody was applying last minute using last years hunt codes and it crashed the system. Don’t know if it’s true.

 

[Nickofthewoods]

I heard it was people that already applied logging back into the system to make sure they did it right that crashed the system.

“State network issues” = application numbers were lower than expected so they extended the deadline to make a few extra dollars.


Could also be what [mention]Jethro [/mention] said.

How would one even use last year's codes? I chose through a drop down menu, did not input my own codes.

Exactly

They were all clear when I put in my draws earlier in the month. You can see multiple codes in one area, one is private only and the other is the public tag. In checkout, this becomes clear as there will be a note telling you that you selected private land only right below the hunt code selected.

Here is an example of the hunt codes that aren't listed in the regs with the rest of the hunt codes. DER-1-116 is not in the regs, but is available during the application process. Without actually selecting it as your hunt choice you would have no idea that it's private land only and it looks identical to DER-1-115 at first glance. Once selecting it, the text that says "private land only" is really small so that would be an easy mistake.

I don't really mind that some things are confusing. If folk mess up I feel bad for them but hopefully my odds are a fraction better. Hunting application Darwinism.

Good Luck Everyone! I look forward to everyone's backdoor theories in a few weeks!

guess it all comes down to TRUST...

I don't trust any software, apps, draw programming by any Western State.
Its delays, complications such as this that add to that doubt of trust.
I just keep rolling that expensive dice and hoping to get lucky...or hire a hacker!

I see what you are saying, it doesn't need to be too easy. At a minimum though I expect all of the hunt codes to be in a State's own regulations.
