Honestly I quit applying for NM when they dropped the NR unguided pool down to 2% of available tags, yet still required the purchase of a license annually.

Some of the draws just don't make economical sense. I like NM that they are random draw every year, but still the odds for NR need to be decent for me. WY has a point system (and it's changed/changing) but atleast you can gather points and after X yrs. Other states with pt systems, as a NR you might as well buy Powerball tickets.

I got Unit 34 muzzleloader this year! Should be a good hunt it will be my second time in NM

Good Luck, to ya. Keep us posted.

We've (my son & I) put in for Muzzy in CO this year, we should draw with the points we have.

I drew same unit as 2022 again, archery elk. About 4 percent odds. 2 out of 3 . Need to buy some lottery tickets. Gotta have your name in as many hats as you can.
