New Mexico 2023 Draw Thread

[deltadukman]

What's with all the unit naming and hunt codes being posted. Don't bitch when that hidden gem unit gets popular, and you can't draw a tag, not that it is easy to begin with, but damn. We are naming units, hunt codes and seasons these days.

Red again. Nice to get 2k back tho! Should draw 5 tags here in CO so plenty of prep to do

Famous question! When will we see our refunds?

There's a way more effective place to get hunt codes. Looks like this...



The codes and unit numbers are not the problem, it's the details attached to those codes that tend to burn the unit.

I'd be worried more about how you're going to prepare that fabulous meat.

Joking aside, here is an awesome podcast hosted by a good friend of mine that has all the details you need for the WSMR hunts.

Drew Feb Aoudad on my first go as a non-resident. Thought it was a Hail Mary, but here we are.

All red...

No dice as a non resident for elk.

Pulled a archery deer but struck out on the rest. I’ll be interested to sift through the draw data when they put it out. Congrats to all the lucky ones, and good luck on the hunts!

Well... If one less tag is available on an already tight NR allocation, then the odds are not exactly the same.

Correct NR group apps are a bad idea for units with few NR tags. And even if many tags, your odds will be slightly less due to that last tag not being available for the 2 man group.

Older kid drew the unit 17 mule deer tag for late Nov.

Anyone know anything about the Valles Caldera? I’m not looking for anyone’s honey hole. Just some general info about where to start looking, camping spots, and what can I expect about the caliber of bulls there?

I know that I try to be a good boy so that when I die my soul will go there. PM me if you’d like

You'll get a whole mandatory training session. Spoiler: elk everywhere.

I didn't see any massive bulls during my son's cow hunt. It's pretty much a wilderness area, with only a couple roads available. Absolutely gorgeous hiking, with deadheads and sheds everywhere (that you cannot connect).

Massive resident herd at the entrance that is off limits, but plenty of elk throughout the Backcountry.
