Resident applicants draw this hunt at random. Points do not change the odds.

Outfitter pool draw

Outfitter pool applicants draw this hunt at random. Points do not change the odds.

First-choice applicants. New Mexico has no points: every application gets a random sequence number. By statute (NMSA 17-3-16) each hunt's licenses are split at least 84% to residents, 10% to residents or nonresidents contracted with a New Mexico outfitter, and 6% to nonresidents without one. Each hunt appears once per pool that drew at least one license, with that pool's own applicants and licenses.
