NM Draw App Submitted Today

[mgood]

Maybe I'll get lucky this time. I put in for New Mexico antelope two or three years in a row and never drew a tag. Then the last two or three years I've missed out. One year I was too broke. Last year I wanted to do it but procrastinated a little too long. When I finally looked at the website, I'd missed the deadline by a couple of days. This year, I'm back in it. We'll see what happens.

1st Choice: Unit 31 (Mostly because it's closest to me. I know there are antelope there. May not be the most or the best. I don't know.)
2nd Choice: Units 39 & 40 (This looks like great antelope country to me.)
3rd Choice: Units 32 & 33 (Sort of at the intersection of the other two.)
Hunts are October 1-3.

I have a Kimber 84L Classic Select Grade 25-06 topped by a Leupold VX-3L 4.5-14x50mm. I bought it years ago with this hunt in mind around the first time I put in for this tag. It has yet to kill anything but paper.

Nice looking 25-06 and Leupold that will more than do the job if you draw a tag!

Good luck on your draw!!! Odds for the draw in New Mexico for non residents stinks. You are better off trying to hunt with a Licensed Outfitter they get 10 percent of the tags, a non guided draw hunt only gets 6 percent of the tags.

Foiled again!
No NM draw hunts for me this year. Put in for antelope and Barbary sheep (aoudad) and struck out on both.
