[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 563590, member: 22335"] New Mexico tags are tough to get in many of the areas. I will warn you that if next year is the "only year" then look seriously at the percentage of applicants drawn in the area where you apply. The alternative is that many of the NM outfitters will sell you a landowner tag but in the more desirable areas those cost about $5000 on top of the cost of the hunt which puts the hunt at about $10000 plus expenses. If you don't care if your hunt is any time in the next 1-5 years then you are probably OK to keep trying for a draw. Trophy Ridge told us that the draw success for their area is about 20%, and NM has no preference point system. So, next year our chances of drawing are no better than they were this year. As you can tell, we did not draw for 2011. If we had I would not be here right now. :D [/QUOTE]
