Gila unit outfitters

Yes and no. If you look at how hard it is to draw a tag in the Gila you will understand the comment.

You gotta be under contract with an outfitter before you can enter the draw in the outfitter pool. So in the case of NM you need to find your outfitter first. That is if you want to go the outfitter pool route.

OK, lol, so if you want facts…. Even with those 50% better odds the approximate numbers are: 16a 1-30 for for 1st season and 1-80 for second archery. 16b 1-10 to 1-20. 16c 1-7 to 1-15. 16d 1-50 to 1-175. 16e 1-10 to 1-20.

I’ve been doing this a very long time. I understand the odds very well. Sure, try the outfitter draw, but no need to get too excited about it just yet. Even with those 50% better odds, they are still loooooong. Of course if you are also willing to pay for a LO tag as a back up, booking an outfitter now does make even more sense.

lol, I know the exact odds, 1:7 or 1:10 is bad? For a unit that has higher success rates then most 10pt plus NR CO, WY, MT, UT or AZ hunt codes?

Again 50% plus. OP I hope you draw.

Don't know any of the outfitters you mentioned but I do know this, be careful with outfitters in New Mexico.
