Can't wait about 18 more days, work is slowing down thinking about it. Good luck to all.
 
Hey Draker,

Keep checking the site, they usually post the results 2 weeks prior to the date of release. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

Its driving me nuts not knowing if we got drawn or not. Heard a rumor that they will be posted about the 9th of June. Put in for deer and elk hope we draw for both. Good luck to all.
 
Talked to a G & F man today if you did it on line and your card took a hit then your in. We used checks and they went through but he said that does not mean anything. As they get their six bucks out right away. Started working out getting ready hope it pays off. I don't know if anyone really knows. Good luck.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-04-05 AT 07:44PM (MST)[p] Pinemesa: Thanks for the info. Boy would it make the Summer go by faster if we drew. Good luck
 
I just checked my card and nothing. Do you think NM is all done with the draw? Man I hope not!
 
I think you are right still a little early. But its right there. Its funny how it is really three seasons, the draw,the time after the draw to the hunt and the hunt itself. Good Luck
 
Nothing yet checking every day I hope by Friday we will know something. Keeping fingers crossed. Good luck.
 
STILL NO HIT on my cc :-( Don't they know I've got kids wanting to go hunt? Anywany hope they draw soon. Good luck to all in the draw.

Don't worry Phantom Hunter I'm with Pinemesa I think it is still early, I hope by next week we will know, KEEP THE FAITH. GOOD LUCK
 
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, LAST YEAR THE NMGFD CHARGED IT'S CC'S ON FRIDAY'S. SO IF YOU GOT CHARGED WAS IT ON A FRIDAY? MAYBE THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST WAVE? GOOD LUCK!!
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-09-05 AT 11:27AM (MST)[p] I'm with you hunt1, every time I go to the site my heart jumps when I see draw results. Maybe this afternoon or Friday. It would be nice since I go back to work Sat. The weekend would fly. GOOD LUCK

I just got off of the phone with santa fe and they said they are drawing right now!!!! Fingers Crossed. Let us Pray

FEAR NOT FOR I AM WITH YOU! Walk soft and carry a 300 RUM,
 
Considering they have to draw for antelope, bighorn sheep, deer, elk, ibex, and javelina...keep in mind the following information.

ONLINE APPLICATIONS INCREASE FOR 2005-2006 BIG-GAME HUNTING PERMITS
SANTA FE ? More New Mexico big-game hunters discovered the convenience of applying for hunting permits
online for the 2005-2006 seasons.
Of the 145,126 total applications for 2005-2006 deer, elk, antelope, ibex, javelina and bighorn sheep permits,
78,146, or 53.8 percent, were done online. This is only the second year the Department has offered online
applications.
?Our goal was to give people a convenient way to apply for hunts that doesn't require paying the full license fee in
advance,? said Patrick Block, chief of the Department's administrative services division. ?The online system is
more efficient because it is built to prevent many of the errors that people make on paper applications.?
Hunters who use the online application system are charged $6 application fees to their credit card. Permit fees,
which vary by hunt, are charged to an applicant's credit card if and when the applicant is successful in the
drawing. The application deadline was April 9 for this year?s drawing for deer, elk, antelope, ibex, javelina and
bighorn sheep. The drawing will be in June and results will be available on the Department web site,
www.wildlife.state.nm.us, before the end of June.
This year is the first year New Mexico deer hunters were required to participate in a drawing to hunt on public
lands. That accounted for an overall increase of more than 30,000 applicants for deer hunts. Online applications
comprised 44 percent of the 52,737 applications for 2005-2006 public deer hunts. Elk hunting permits were most
popular for the 2005-2006 drawing hunts, with 64,538 applications, almost 3,000 more than the previous year.
Applications for antelope were next at 15,844; followed by bighorn sheep, 6,701; javelina, 2,904; and ibex, 2,412.
For more information about the hunt application and drawing process, call (505) 476-8000 or visit

Hunt1,

Thanks for the article. Where did you paste it from? I wondered how much the on-line process affected the number of applicants. Also, it sounds like they received a poor showing on the deer drawing. Considering how many OTC tags they normally sell, there are going to be a lot of deer hunts that won't fill up their tag quota. I wonder if they will come back and have a "leftover tag" sale?
 
Still waiting myselk as you can see can't get Elk off the mind, thanks for the info that they were drawing when you called. But that means it will be a long weekend. GOOD LUCK
 
Anyone had a hit yesterday or today on the credit card? Just checked mine for the 100th time in two days, still nada.

Looks like we will have to wait till Monday at least, no idea if they are working this weekend or not, I have checked the web site to many times to count to see if the results are ready.Talked to some other buddies and they have not got hit yet. GOOD LUCK
 
Paitence. They moved the draw up a couple of weeks from last year, and you lived through that. Some people are never satisfied in this era of instant gratification.
 
Hey thats for sure but that is half the fun. This is the week. I'll save my patience for the hunt. GOOD LUCK
 
DID THE G&F TAKE THE DAY OF OR WHAT? IS THERE A HOLIDAY I DON'T KNOW ABOUT? DO I NEED TO BUY A LANDOWNER TAG AGAIN THIS YEAR? HAS ANYONE HAD THERE CC HIT TODAY? 1000??????????
 
Another day gone by we are getting closer, hang in there, we will get there yet. One step closer. GOOD LUCK
 
my edumacted guess says they will start hittin cards later today......

good luck (especially to me - I am due for a tag)

DonV

PS nothing on my cc yet
 
If they don't charge my card today I won't know till Sunday. Gotta go out of town and won 't be near a computer till I get back. I hope I don't go crazy waiting.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-15-05 AT 11:38AM (MST)[p]Considering I'm a NM resident that put in for everything...I can't believe they would wait so long on everything. I.e. I put in for javelina and my draw odds are about 1 in 1.15, yet still no charge.

Also, wish I knew the process for individuals that have their CC declined...whether NM charges as soon as the person is drawn...waits till the draw is completed then charge, if so I would figure they would have to draw additional applicants just in case.

Just food for thought, but all I really care about is getting that elk tag!

PS The info I posted earlier draw stats is on the NMG&F website under the Publications link.
 
I called the G&F and they suggested that hunters have funds available immediately. I suspect we'll start getting charged in the next couple of days.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-15-05 AT 12:31PM (MST)[p] Just a short time left, I can't wait myself, I don't know the process, but can't even comprend the job it would be to complete the draw. But if you don't have that little kid feeling like you had just before Christmas or your kids have now, you forgot the real reasons you are out there.That goes without saying what Christmas is really about . Before someone posts something in referance to the reasons Christmas is celebrated.GOOD LUCK
 
I just called in and they told me that if I applied online with a CC, that I could see a hit as early Thursday or as late as Tuesday next week.

Good Luck to all :)

Congrats. Looks like it won't be much longer. I have a meeting Thursday in Santa Fe maybe I will stop in on the boy's and take them some refresments or take them to lunch, help keep up their energy level. I'm sure they can't wait to get this over with as much as we can't wait to see if Lady Luck smiled on us. GOOD LUCK
 
Well another day gone by and nothing. I sure hope it is Friday.Other wise another long weekend. No chance to talk to the G&F today just got in. Sorry guys. GOOD LUCK
 
yeha!

4 tags for 52 muzzy charges pending!

First tag in 100 apps!

yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You guys getting hit on your CC is killing me.

Need to go get some Valium or something.

Still nothing on my CC. But it takes my CC I used about a week to post, so I will have to rely on NM G&F to know.


MAYBE TODAY,

HOPE TODAY,
 
I can't remember this. I only applied for deer. Do they immediately charge my card or do I pay for the tag after I get drawn? I was told it's the latter for deer only but can't remember. Ed F
 
i was under the inpression you would be charged for the draw permit. then you are required to buy a hunting liscense before you would be legal to hunt the specified unit.

Just looked at the G & F site they took down the draw results for oryx and whatever else was on there. Looks like they are getting ready to post the ELK draw. Hey Donv you got hit as you know that is the unit I put in for as well I hope to get lucky.GOOD LUCK
 
I had to do the same as don, the guy , obviously from India said I had a pending charge for 1520 from a garment industry then he cleared it up.
 
my father-in-law and two brother in-laws drew for rifle 16b first hunt wooohaaaa...we are still waiting since we didn't do it cc for archery...this wait is killing me but i think the wife will kill me first if the G and F don't post today!!!!!!
 
I drew 16D late season archery! From Oregona and never hunted down there. If anyone can give me some pointers on where to start looking I would greatly appreciate it. Matt
