....And the wait begins

[bigcountryok]

Well I've been saying I'm going to do it for years now and I finally did it. I applied for the New Mexico Elk Archery Hunt. This is the first out of state hunt I've ever applied for.

From what I understand my chances are very slim for getting draw, but if I do get drawn it should be an awesome hunt.

Now I just have to wait til June 8th to see what happens.

Anyone else put in for out of state tags this year?

This will be my 10th year to apply to the NM draw hunts. Unfortunately NM just voted to cut the NR nonguided tags in half next season, so your odds will most likely be twice as good as next year.

I absolutely love hunting in NM

What units you looking to draw?

I put in for 16A and 15. What area do you apply for?

I went on the muzzleloader hunt in Unit 34 last year. Came home empty, we were in elk almost every day just couldn't get one to show it's vitals. That's too bad they're cutting the unguided tag numbers but if anyone needs some contacts on outfitters I meet a few over there that weren't horrible on their prices. This year I put in for Montana for mulies and I'll be putting in for Colorado over the next week for elk.

Unit 34 archery hunts and unit 34 muzzy hunt.

Hunted the early archery season last year. My plan is to not play the guide game if tags become thin and just buy a landowners tag for elk.
