I am a resident of New Mexico! There are so many SPECIES to hunt here, unfortunately, EVERYTHING IS NOW A DRAW! It used to be that if you did not draw out on elk & deer you waited till Aoudad season & went hunting in Feb.
It was so fun to hunt deer & elk w/bow a few years back. We litwerally drew every year for a hunt even if it was not our first choice! NOT SO ANYMORE!
Thank G-d for coyotes! If I were limited to hunting one species it would
be......Wiley coyote! Oh the tales, I could regail you with 40 years of hunting Mr. Coyote! LOL!gun)
