Going fishing on Friday, so I kinda hope it is the following week. Love the drama and craziness of when results come out. Every year someone I know draws a sheep tag or something really cool. Starting to get excited. Here come the posts with the false alarms and the back door theories. Got to admit I love those to.
 
I'm thinking by Friday and the back door therory will be by Wednesday. This is the best time of the year when guys try to find every way possible find the results. I'm just hoping my boys draw a tag or two
 
I hope it is before wed, or next week some time. Otherwise if I am fishing I will miss the craziness of it all.
 
Seems like the pattern changes every year, think they do it on purpose. Haha. If they hold the same schedule as last year, then Wednesday at 10 with no backdoor.
 
I'm thinking we'll know by Thursday.

Hopefully I draw something so I won't have to feel bad about blowing off turkey hunting this year.

Stupid birds...who needs 'em?
 
LAST EDITED ON Apr-09-18 AT 05:13AM (MST)[p]The draw should be done by Wednesday. I say the latest the results will be out is Friday. Crossing my fingers toes and eyes!no more back doors. They got that puppy mastered.
 
I'll be turkey hunting in Kansas all week, so that's the only thing that will prevent me from refreshing my screen every couple minutes. LOL
 
Lord help us NMPAUL will not be there to moderate the NM site during all the mayhem - go crazy Stomper!!!!!

Understatement of the week! Been putting in for 6 species for 15 years in Texas. Not 1 tag

I thought all of us from NM took a perverse kind of pride knowing that the most obnoxious and worse trouble maker on all of Monstermuleys is from NM.

Blasphemy, pure Blasphemy!!!
 
A badge of honor to wear proudly Stomper. As for me, I'm on my knees, " We have not because we ask not" ?

You cant seem to get anything right. It's sheep, I have standards. I think it is safe to say you will be to preoccupied finding places in TX to get your Brazilian waxes, pedicures and hair perms to be worried about the NM draws.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a back door theory. Only been doing this for a year and this is my second year putting in for the draw. Just wondering what that term means. Thanks.
 
There used to be secret ways to see if you drew a tag. Some included being able to buy an otc tag for a species which meant you didnt draw etc. . There's others too but they've got them all figured out and taken care of now.
 
By looking at your harvest report, there was a way to see if you got drawn. A little sketchy on remembering exactly, but something like that.

When the state went away from paper applications they had a few issues with the online process. A few hunters figured out how to determine what you had drawn before the results were posted. Every year someone would figure out a new way to "backdoor" the draw and after every draw the game and fish would fix the bugs. Eventually there were no more doors, but the good news is that we still got the results early last year.
If the government is ever looking to test their cyber security all they have to do is tell hunters they'll know the results of the draw early if they can hack their site....You won't find a more motivated group of guys... It was an amazing time!:)

It's gone again...
 
soooooo................ the back door theory?

well it was written by nmpaul. its the theory that a goat can squeeze his head and only his head through sheep wire fencing that has squares of a very specific dimension whereas the said animal, be it goat sheep or elk, will get his head permanently stuck because he cant back it out. Hence allowing free access to the back door.

did I mention paul has a herd of goats? and now apparently he has a herd of sheep!


how much livestock do you need paul???? for god sake!

Good luck in the draw! As soon as the audits are done at Game and fish the draws will be out! See if we are all lucky with the 200,000 (new record) of apps they got! ???

My new prediction is Wed the 18th at 10 a.m. That would be 1 week early and would match the Bear/Turkey 1 week early posting. Hope it's sooner...
 
That's the problem w/ early releasing the results one year. The public then expects it. Wyoming used to release early too, but after they made an error one year and told too many people they were successful for one of the hunts they stopped doing it. I'd like it early too!!!
 
This is 2nd time on a site I have seen the # of applicants this year named. How do they know if the draw has not been published?
Did I miss that one E-mail of the dozen or so from G&F this week? LOL
Fri the 13th I say,just to screw with us.

Because I have a little birdie that's why!! Know this to be true....good luck
 
They end up posting after the Nevada deadline I will have to re-think my app strategy next year. Might have to drop New Mexico or apply for fewer species in NM. Was nice having the results prior last year.
 
I'm in the same position. I have to apply for my kids and myself in Nevada and it has to be done this weekend. Sure would be easier if the results were out before then.
