I just logged into the NM account for me and a friend. If you log in and go to purchase a license, you might be able to tell if you drew, depending upon if you asked for a refund of your license.
I asked for a refund. When I log into my account, I was able to buy a license. So, I am sure I did not draw, as if I had drawn, I would already have a license and it wouldn't sell me a second license.
My friend who is very impaired from a mobility standpoint has a card certifying his immobility. While younger and more mobile, he racked up two grand slams of sheep, but has never shot a really big pronghorn. A very accomplished hunter. He was in a Nevada elk episodes in Season Two of OYOA.
I was visiting with him in February, discussing his current battle with lymphoma and how he thinks his hunting days are possibly over. He is usually very upbeat, but those kind of issues and the side affects of chemo are enough to bring down the greatest of guys.
I told him if he was willing, I would help him apply for a mobility impaired antelope tag, haul his Marine Corp ass down to New Mexico, and help find him an antelope he thinks meets the "big" category. The best non-guided odds in NM are the mobility impaired hunts.
Well, I logged into his account and tried to buy a general hunting license for $65. Got a message that I could not buy a hunting license for him, as one already exists for this customer. I know when we did his antelope application, we asked for a refund if not draw. The fact he cannot buy a license today pretty much tells me that he drew and his original license was not refunded, as was the case for me.
We will be filming this one, if at all possible. The story of helping others and making sure those of less health and opportunity can keep hunting, is something I feel strongly about. And, to take a great friend to a place he has never hunted and provide him an opportunity he never expected to have, is worth far more than the time and effort that might be expended.
I think I am more excited about him drawing than he was. Now, just a matter of which unit he drew.
