New Mexico application

[rebjfan]

I am thinking about applying for some hunts in New Mexico for the first time. Can someone please explain why there are second and third choice on the hunt application? I understand the first, fourth and fifth choices, but is there any chance at all of drawing a high quality hunt on a second or third choice?

Yes, New Mexico takes your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice before going into the next application.

New Mexico is basically a lottery ticket on choices 1-3. A chance, yes, but just has very low nonresident odds generally.

Be careful applying in New Mexico people don’t ever tell you about all the bears.

Thank you, I just thought that if I have slim to no chance on the first choice hunt that I would have zero chance on a second or third choice hunt .

Just make sure your 1st choice has the worst odds and your 3rd has the best and you'll be all good. The only way you'd have zero chance is if you put a higher draw odds hunt before a lower odds one.
