The draw should be in about a week, give a day or two. I will offer my acceptance speech for my elk and unit 2c deer tag, Thank you all very much I could not have done it with out you all. Bill
 
Who knows when the draw is...
I wonder if alot of people keep signing on to check results would delay the draw/overload the system?
 
junior , there is no delay from early checking. There isn't even a current draw page set up at the G&F.
 
It should happen soon. I recieved an email on Friday from N.M. advising to make sure that my credit card is valid and there is sufficient funds.
 
WOODEY....are you a resident of NM? Just wondering if nonresidents got the email? I didn't get an email.
 
I applied as a solo for the Vidal, & the Caldera. I to am putting together an acceptance speech, but,____ I am not sure what kind of ending it will have. Sort of like the lame ending for the Sopranos last night.
 
I am a NR too and no email.I am pretty sure I gave them my address when I applied.
Almost sounds like NM G@F knows who drew and are giving them a heads-up? or maybe its just an email to all residents?
 
I got that email last week and I'm an NR. I doubt it has anything to do with who's going to get drawn though.
 
Sorry, I forgot to add the content of the email...

The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is preparing to conduct special hunt drawings for Big Game hunting opportunities. The Department reminds all online applicants that funds must be available through the credit card account on the application. You may also want to notify your credit card issuer that they should not decline transactions related to your hunt application. If you have moved, changed your credit card billing address, cancelled your card account or otherwise changed your status, please access your account at the Department website ( www.wildlife.state.nm.us ) and update your information.



Draw results will be available June 20, 2007 via the website ( www.wildlife.state.nm.us ).
 
No E-mail for me either, But that is OK, I am still going to kill a big one anyway, E-mail or not.
 
I am a NR and I got the email on Fri. 6/8/07. My question would be to those that drew last year....When did they start charging cc's, did the G&F send an email like this last year to those of you who drew? Did just the resident apps get this email or just the NR's? It seems kind of fishy that the division would send this out when they made it clear during the app process to have funds available when it came time for the drawing.

Here goes the emotional rollercoaster again. Why don't they just get it over with and let everyone know. I'm sure they have picked the successful applicants already by now....if not, one can only dream right? The waiting begins..............

They sent the email to help those who use credit/debit cards and non residents for two reasons.
First , credit/debit cards will only authorize a transaction if there is enough money in the checking account, so make sure during the next two weeks you have enough money in your accounts to cover any charges.Last year they made 3 attempts to debit your accounts and if you didn't have sufficient funds with in the 5 working days , your app was dropped to UNSUCCESSFUL.
Second , for non residents who used credit cards(most probly did), on many and most cc companies there are single credit transaction limits for security reasons as I was told, some are higher than others but usually the limits are around $500.00 to $1000.00 , I imagine it's according to your credit too. But if you have a $500.0 single transaction limit and you draw a $700.00 quality elk tag , well now your in a bind.So on and so forth , as many guys will put in under one credit card number, and if 3 or 4 guys draw the $700.00 quality elk tags , well you figure it out.

If you got the email , it doesn't mean your lucky or drew. It's just a curtisy(spelling sucks I know) email to have your accounts in order.
 
I didn't get an email last year and didn't draw - at first... About 6 weeks AFTER the draw we (son & I put in as a party) got a call wondering if we still wanted antelope tags. Had a GREAT hunt. We both got an email from NM 5 minutes ago. Hope it means we will draw something but am not getting my hopes up! Good luck to all, the 20th won't come soon enough. BTW we didn't draw anything in NV.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-11-07 AT 07:32PM (MST)[p]Got my email....but so did my buddy and he only put in for deer in an easy to draw archery unit....its fun to Think we got a chance....like a kid waiting for Christmas!
Got ya NMHUNTNUT...I have made 1500 charges on my card before,so all I need is luck!
P.S. I just noticed they have a bulleton saying the deadline has arived, and you cannot edit hunt choice. It may have been their for awile, but I just noticed.
 
NR, got the email last night 6/11. will double check the card asap. plenty of credit availiable but better check the single charge limit. Good luck everyone.
 
I just got my cc email last night.

Good luck to all who got in!!!

See you in NM (I hope!) :)

Make sure you check the single charge limit. I called my CC company and told them to expect charges up to $3,500. Since it is out-of-state and I normally do not have charges that high the woman told me if I would not have called it would have been declined. You may want to make a quick call to your CC company.
 
Bank of America states that "ALL accounts are monitored for spending inconsistent with normal spending habits. If you are a NR then I do suggest you call. Their authorizations dept. will open this up for 4 days at a time, so you will have to call back. Otherwise, the manager of that dept. did say that people are likely to be declined.

Being I am a NR I called my CC company and they said they would have rejected the transaction as it would not have been within my consisitent spending pattern as it was out of state. Thanks for the heads up everyone.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-13-07 AT 01:42AM (MST)[p]My CC company didn't have a problem charging me $1800 for my WY Mountain Goat appllication or $1600 for my MT Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goat applications. It shouldn't be any different for when I actually draw a couple tags for my son and myself in NM.

Good luck everyone......just don't draw my tag or my son's youth tag.
 
Tick...tick...tick...I can't stand it anymore! ;-) I wish they would just hurry up and draw me to get it over with. :7

Grizzly
 
Come on hurry up you would have thought they would have started charging cards by now seeing how worried they were about people's cards being denied, and sending out thousands of emails.
 
Just checked my cc again and....still nothing. :-(

This is like Christmas Eve when I was a kid...except I was pretty sure I would get something...I'm not so sure right now.

Good luck!

Grizzly
 
Well this is the e mail for you who havent got your e mail. Dont think it means anything. i think cc should be getting hit on Monday.

I think I have this whole e-mail thing figured out. My theory is that as your app is entered into the pool, an automatic e-mail is sent just sd s courtesy to inform you of possible denials by your bank. Just a thought but it would explain why they are spread out over so many days.
 
If that were the case, wouldn't you receive multiple emails if you put in for multiple species.
 
I'll bet they ran all the cards today and they will post at midnight. Sit tight and call your credit card company this morning around 2 am. Good luck.

Every year I sit back and read these threads with everyone checking their credit card every 15 minutes for activity regarding the NM draw. I've been so busy with work this summer that I really haven't had time to sit around and wait. This afternoon I figured what the heck, I'll take a look at my credit card. Thank goodness I did! Apparently someone had gotten a hold of it and was having a good couple of days buying stuff online from all over the place. They hit 8 places in the last day. I had my wife call to stop the charges and cancel the card. Thanks to that email NM sent last week I knew right where to go to change my CC information. Any other time of the year and this could have been a really bad deal...
 
That just ain't cool! I hope they find the SOB and hang him up by his toes till his head turns purple, then turn him right side up till the color comes back and repeat the whole process several times. Then make him pay you back double!
As for your comments bighorn hunter, I hadn't thought of that one. Give me a while....

i only received one email although i applied for multiple species, they will go off the email information you used to create your account...for instance if you have 2 email accounts, set up two nmgf accounts (not sure why one would do that) and applied for say elk on one acct and speedgoats on the other then you would receive two emails is my thinking therefore that is why i believe we are only receiving one email...

Nothing new here this morning. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!! I gotta be able to hunt somewhere this fall.:eek:
 
I am a non-resident and I drew an elk tag last year. The CC charge didn't show until 3 days before the draw results were to be posted.

In addition, I never received the e-mail last year.

I did get the e-mail this year. I think it has no bearing on whether or not you drew...
 
Did anyone receive a phone call from NMG&F? Around 5:30 central time I received a call from them to check on what species I had applied for, and specifically if Valle Vidal was my first choice for Elk.

I doubt it means anything, but when the lady on the other end of the line announced where she was from I got a little excited:)

Matt
 
I would think it means the nmg&f doesn't know what you applied for but that you did apply. That can't be a good sign.
Maybe their draw is all screwed up and that's why they haven't started charging cards only a cpl work days before results are to be posted.
 
I haven't heard anything myself. We've waited this long, might as well wait till the 20th for the official results.

I'm assuming that a credit card hit would only indicate an elk tag and that you won't know if you drew muley until the 20th, right?
 
Just checked with my CC company again....$0.00 balance. :-(

NMDG&F hurry up damn it!!!!!

Grizzly
 
muleymaddness,

That depends. For example we put in for two HD hunts and one S hunt. So, if the charge is under $600 we know we drew our third choice. If the charge is over $700 we know we drew our first or second choice.

I can't believe there haven't been any hits if they really are going to post them Wednesday. Surely today!!!
 
i cant belive there hasnt been any cc hits as of yet !!!!!!!!!!! this unbelivable. unless they have a new system that does cc and enters it in the computers at one time.
 
Fella's, I am not sure if the Cabela's person I talked to this morning knows what they are talking about but this is what he said---When he got to work this morning he and all other phone people were told by the security supervisor that they had been informed the action would start tomorrow AT THE SOONEST and last three days.
 
Spoke to a gal at G&F regarding an application issue I had. She informed me that "they should be conducting the draw within the next couple of hours" and "card will be charged in the next few days". I thought the draw was complete. Whatever!
 
I heard the same you must have got a nicer person I have a buddy who called like 4 times and they would just pick up the phone and hang it back up!!!!!
 
Check your account with the NMDGF. Results are stating to show!!! I Drew a deer tag so far!!!
 
Are you a res or nonres? I was under the impression that nm does not charge for the deer tag, at least that is how it has worked in years past.
 
Stressed??..........easy boys, it is what it is......and we're all gettin tags....oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa!!
 
You are right I just check my acct. and I was not drawn for Bear Tag. Nothing on deer, elk ,etc.

Congrats on you der tag
 
checked mine and the pops account, they all say entered but I noticed that my dads "unsucessful" for the oryx draw has been wiped out and it only shows the apps for the June draw. My account is still showing the unsucessful for Oryx. Looks like they're doin' something
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-19-07 AT 02:35PM (MST)[p]ENTERED

Edit: NUTT we need an update. People are getting pissy.
 
Its a conspiracy---the Game and Fish is making us wait, they know we use sites like this to gather information--hence, no CC hits yet....hell, they may be going to wait to start the CC hits until after they get the results entered just to punish us
 
I agree , it's just a matter of releasing the draw. It's already been audited. If they released early it could help from the mass log ins that are about to happen tommorrow and help from over loadong and crashing the site like in 06 and 05.
 
Su I just just got off the horn with the G&F suprisingly helpful and outgoing i come to discover my DOB is wrong on my app. But it doesnt matter cause it's tied to your SS# so I'm still ok. She said the draw was done and results will be posted in the A.M. CC should be hit starting this evening tho cause they run thier "batch" at close of business. Valle Vidal here i come!!!!!!!!

I have a great idea, how about they take part of that 1.2m in app fees alone and get a bigger server so when all of us 200,000+ applicants check the results, the site doesn't crash again! Or will they use it to improve the habitat of the sand dune lizard??
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-19-07 AT 06:01PM (MST)[p]I think that people that put in for NM (including myself) are starting to lose it. We want a tag so bad that we would take a tag for any kind of game.

I thinks that all game and fish offices love to see us suffer.
What is the deal with taking so long to post the draw. It is all about money. Hell, they so put an option for express result i would pay extra for that service. I can get my tax refund faster then draw result. That is BS.
 
I would agree to some extent that it takes along time for them to conduct the draw and get results posted from the time that the app deadline is, but New Mexico is nothing compared to Wyoming for Antelope.

The wyoming deadline is March 15. They don't post results until July 10th. Some areas open for archery August 15th. Now that is a short time to finalize plans to go on your hunt.

Even with a draw date a week after the deadline we would all be chomping at the bit to know and checking every hour on the hour when it is suppose to be posted:) The anticipation is agonizing, but at least there is hope before they post the results.

Matt
 
Well it appears that CC's will be charged tomorrow and results posted at the same time. That's a recipe for disaster. We all know that the server will crash and I'll be there will be more than a few CC's that for some reason or other get denied. Can you say fire sale!
 
Just checked my account at the NMDG&F, at 7:54 AM, and it still says "ENTERED"! :)

At least I still have a chance.

Grizzly
 
My CC took a hit last night. The way it adds up means the whole family drew elk tags.....wife, son, me.....sweet. But I still have to see the SUCCCESSFUL to believe it.
 
Well, there site is down at 6:22 a.m. MDT. Wonder if they'll have the results posted when they bring the site back up. I'd sure hate to be in their IT department today...lol.
 
LMAO!

ismith you probably don't know how true that avatar is at G&F headquarters this morning!
 
Just tried the NMDG&F website and got a "cannot find webpage" response.

Can you say "CRASH?" (That's what happens when you bottle up 50-000 to 100,00 hunter-wanna-be's for almost three months and then let them all out on the same day.) :eek:

I'll guess we'll just have to wait until the CRSASH-SITE is cleaned up and the smoke clears. :-(

My wife finally got into her account and was unsuccessful for elk and her deer rifle states "need more information" What the hell is that?
