The New Mexico big game draw application process deadline is fast approaching. Be sure to apply before you miss out.

Hey everyone this will be a fairly short article but we wanted to let you know that the New Mexico application deadline is on March 16th. Below we will leave a bit of info regarding the process.

Applications must be completed before 5 p.m. MDT. Hunters are able to apply for the following species:

  • Bighorn Sheep
  • Barbary Sheep
  • Elk
  • Deer
  • Ibex
  • Pronghorn
  • Javelina
  • Oryx
  • Likewise, you can apply for private-land-only deer licenses in Units 2A, 2B, 2C, 4, and 5A.

New Mexico uses a true letter system for its big game hunting permits. This means the state does not use preference or bonus points. As a result, while the draw odds are steep everyone has the same chance at drawing these hunting permits. Below we will also list some of the basic costs of non-resident and resident permits.

  • Game hunting license: Resident – $15, Non-resident: $65
  • Pronghorn license: Resident – $60, Non-resident: $283
  • Quality Deer license: Resident – $40, Non-resident: $368
  • MB Elk license: Resident – $90, Non-resident: $773
  • Idex licensee: Resident – $110. Non-resident: $1,623
