[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 1032853, member: 37223"] Let me say bad. My muzzle loader hunt I use to put in for had about 500 hunters putting in for my unit. Roughly 150 hunters per choice of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and about 70 tags out of 125 total tags were drawn for first choice. Has been that way for roughly ten years and that roughly gave me a 50/50 chance to draw my first choice. After a few shows on NM elk hunting aired the hunting numbers went to over 1000 hunters with about 350-400 per choice. So my draw odds went down to below 20% chance to draw a tag. I do not put in for high demand or quality hunts as I want to have a chance to draw and go hunting. I know most of these shows are filmed with land owner tags on private ranches but it brings a lot of hunting pressure to that units public lands thru the draw. [/QUOTE]
