New Mexico 26 Draw Results

[BuckSmasher]

Drew the Valle Vidal muzzleloader tag.. finally

One of the ones I put in for. You got my tag! I guess they do award them.

16A cow elk!

No individual notification email, just a generic "Draw results have been posted!" email at 3:00 PM.

going on 10+ years of nothing but red

All red.

22 years and no elk tag drawn in NM.

Before that, I drew a rifle bull tag my first time applying as a resident in 1999.

The good news is- next year I’ll have a less than 2% chance again!

Gotta love the random draw system.

Me to fellers. Me to. Donated a couple grand or more to NM the last 17 years. Don't think I am gonna do it anymore unless they fix something. Starting with landowner tags, ridiculous outfitter welfare, and maybe a significant tag fee increase to help the odds. Odds are so bad it really feels dumb to keep throwing the money away.

Struck out on elk. Pulled 51A deer. Was just hoping for something to get out and chase. Got what I asked for apparently.

All red, as appears to be the theme

Are you a resident? There are multiple rifle elk hunts with 30% or better odds. No way should you have 2% chance every year. There's at least one Rifle bull hunt with over 80% odds for residents.

I’m not sure about this guy, but everyone cursing this shitty system and being pissed for not drawing a 1st rifle Gila tag as a nonres with a group of 8 dudes or some shit is old. You could apply 1,000 times, not draw and the system would still be fair!

Drew a decent deer tag for the second year in a row. Cant complain about that.

All red on my end

Snagged an archery deer and archery elk tag for a wilderness unit I’ve hunted before. Told myself that if I drew that tag I’d be buying a new pack since we pack in for a few days at a time. 5 minutes after getting the draw results I sent @Mark at EXO some money!

Unit 12 late rifle for me

All red for me, congratulations to those who drew a tag.

Considering I have an AK moose hunt in Sept I swung for the fences on L48 apps this year, to my surprise I wake up to a primo muzzy elk hunt! Gonna be a busy fall!

I’ve got an AK moose hunt planned as well and had the same app strategy, we probably applied for most of the same muzzy tags. Good luck on both hunts!

archery elk and pronghorn, i'll take it!

aoudaddies, here I come

I am convinced that a significant portion of the fng members here claiming success in the draw are fraudulent bot accounts created by the state of new mexico. Their motive is obviously to create false hope so they don't lose applicants next year.

Yep, exactly. I draw for deer every year and can count on elk 4ish out of every 5ish years as a resident. Been lucky lately as two of my last four have been bull tags but I'd rather have a muzzleloader cow tag or a tag in a less desirable unit than no tag. Especially for deer, no reason for residents to complain when there are 30+ deer hunts over 50% across weapon types. You can get a deer tag every year as a resident if you want.

All red for me but that is about what I expected. Only a few units I would pay those prices for an elk tag.

 

[bloatmar]

All red here
