In 2020, New Mexico made a slight adjustment to their license allocation to guarantee that 84% of the licenses for each hunt goes to resident applicants. The change rippled through the nonresident and guided pool, resulting in some hunts no longer having licenses available. Use the table below to cross reference with the total number of licenses to ensure the hunts you are applying for will have enough licenses.
Note: Applicants must buy a hunting license, habitat stamp, HMAV, and pay an application fee per species to apply. They must also front the cost of the license(s) they apply for, but will be refunded the cost of the license(s) (species) if they are unsuccessful in the draw.
New Mexico has a random draw system. Every applicant is on an equal playing field to draw no matter how many years they have been applying. There is no preference or bonus point system. There are three pools of licenses: the resident pool, the nonresident pool and the guided pool. Residents are given 84% of the licenses for each hunt. Nonresidents can draw up to 6% of the licenses for each hunt. Up to 10% of the licenses for each hunt are allocated to applicants through the draw who have a signed agreement with a guide/outfitter. Both residents and nonresidents can apply with a guide and be considered for that guide pool of licenses. Once you have an agreement with a guide, you will apply in the draw with their guide number. If you enter the draw with a guide/outfitter and draw a license, you are required to hunt in the field with that guide for a minimum of two days. The draw odds are typically better for applicants applying with an outfitter. If you can afford a guided hunt in New Mexico, applying with a guide is a great way to improve your chances of drawing a license.
Up to four applicants can apply as a party for deer and antelope. Nonresidents and residents can apply together in a party. A party application is treated as a single application in the draw. If selected, all applicants on the application would receive a license provided there are enough licenses to offer one to each applicant. New Mexico will not over allocate the license quota to cover a group application. In the case that residents and nonresidents apply together, nonresident licenses are pulled from the nonresident quota. When applying as a party, one applicant will apply first and, upon completing the process, will receive a party application number. The rest of the party will then select “attach to an existing application,” then enter the application code. There is no odds advantage to applying as a party. There may be a slight disadvantage. For example, if an application with two people is drawn and there is only one license remaining, that application will be rejected or if a nonresident and a resident apply together and there are not enough nonresident licenses, neither the resident or nonresident will be given a license.
New Mexico allows applicants to include up to five hunt choices when they apply. In the draw, they will consider your first three choices before moving to the next applicant. To further explain: once your application is considered they will attempt to allocate your first hunt choice. If there are no licenses remaining for that choice, then they will then consider your second choice. If there are no licenses remaining for your second choice, then they will then consider your third choice. If there are no licenses remaining for the third choice, they will then move to the next application. Fourth and fifth choices are only considered if there are leftover permits after every application has been considered. If you include a fourth and fifth choice, applicants are agreeing to accept any leftover license, which means that they may allocate you a license that was not your fourth and fifth choice. We highly recommend that you do not include fourth and fifth choices unless you are willing to accept any leftover license.
Note: hunters cannot submit applications for each of the deer species; they can only submit one application for deer. However, you can mix up your selections. For example, you can select a mule deer hunt as your first choice and Coues deer hunts for your second and third choice.
New Mexico lists each hunt as either a standard, high demand, quality or, in some cases, quality/high demand. A quality hunt is one that the state manages for better trophy potential and typically less hunting pressure. A high demand hunt is a hunt where the total number of applicants for a hunt exceeds 22% of the total applicants based on the draw for the two years prior. The standard hunts are typically lower quality, opportunity type hunts, but the cost is lower for the license. The cost for the quality, high demand and quality/high demand hunts is higher than it is for the standard license.
Every year, we get asked because of the way New Mexico conducts their draw if there is some strategy in how you stagger your hunt choices. We recommend that you apply with the best hunt (worst odds) as your first choice and then select progressively better odds (average hunts) as your second and third choices. The reasoning behind this strategy is that with a random draw, you never know what position your application will be in the draw. Your application could be one of the first selected in the draw and, as such, you want to receive the higher quality license that should be your first choice. If your first hunt choice had better odds than your second and third choice, you are essentially wasting those choices.
New Mexico deer hunting is discussed in forums or podcasts nearly as much as states like Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and even Arizona. The reason being is this: the trophy potential is generally not as good as those states, but for opportunity, New Mexico may be one of the most underrated states in the West. Remember that the draw is random and a quick review of the standalone draw odds will show that odds are quite good. New Mexico offers archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunts.
New Mexico offers early season September archery hunts and late season January hunts across the state. The archery hunts provide the best odds of drawing a license. If applicants are applying for elk, it may be worth considering also reviewing the odds for the mule deer seasons that overlap the elk hunt(s) you are applying for. One of the best bucks I could have taken was on an archery elk hunt where the odds of drawing were 100%. If I had done some research, applied and drawn the archery deer license, I could have taken the biggest archery buck of my life. These hunts are not for everyone, but if drawing a tag is the most important part of your goals, don’t overlook these as an option to add to your overall strategy.
New Mexico gives muzzleloader hunters the opportunity to hunt with a modern setup, including inline muzzleloaders, scope and sabots. The odds of drawing muzzleloader hunts across the state are good on average. These hunts — although later in the year — typically start in the later part of October and it’s not unheard of to find bucks still in their summer patterns. The rut in much of the state below Interstate 40 won’t really pick up until the last days of December and sometimes into the first week of January.
Rifle hunts have tougher odds when compared to archery or muzzleloader hunts, but still offer a decent chance when compared to other species. Most units are going to produce yearling bucks up to 160”, but if you are looking for a rifle hunt in the West you should consider New Mexico.
Populations of mule deer are good throughout the state and New Mexico also offers Coues deer hunts in the southwest corner of the state.
In terms of trophy potential, there are not many areas that annually produce bucks 180”+. The exception to that is the cluster of units in the northwest corner, which include Units 2B, 2C and 5B. Those units can and do produce giant bucks; however, the odds of drawing those reflect that. The best hunts for these units are typically the late season hunts although there are smaller populations of resident deer. Units 2B and 2C border the Jicarilla Reservation, which has historically been a prime spot for producing record book caliber bucks. The rest of the units throughout the state can still offer 150” to 170” caliber bucks, but rarely bigger.
Coues deer hunts are offered in Units 23, 24 and 27. The Burro Mountain December hunt and Unit 27 both offer good numbers of deer and good trophy potential with 90” to 100” potential in both units.

The units above represent the best options in terms of quality, but there are many more hunts to choose from — many of which have better odds. The table below indicates some of the better mid-tier hunts with generally better odds that can still offer a good hunt.
New Mexico should be on your radar as part of your application strategy every year for mule deer. As you review the tables above, you’ll see that in several instances the odds for nonresidents can actually be better than residents. This is largely due to the fact that New Mexico is not as hyped up as some surrounding states. The chances at a trophy caliber buck are not as good as it is in some other states, but it does offer a good chance to hunt and you can use it to supplement your schedule while you build points in Colorado, Utah or Wyoming. Bowhunters should take note of the late archery hunts offered throughout the state. The harvest success rates are relatively good and it offers a way for you to extend your season. Use the tables and information below and the other tools within your INSIDER account and consider applying for mule deer in New Mexico this year.
Finally, some of the best hunts in the state are reserved for youth hunters. We include the odds for youth in your INSIDER account. This is a good opportunity to get your kids into hunting and offer them a good experience when hunting pressure is light.
In terms of trophy antelope potential, New Mexico is always going to be near the top of the list. It does not have the number of antelope that a state like Wyoming does and the odds of drawing licenses are not great, but for the lucky applicants who draw, the hunting is very good. New Mexico’s habitat is currently in better conditions than it was a year ago. The state is still experiencing drought conditions, but the summer monsoons were good and helped range conditions. Last fall, there were still a number of 80”+ bucks killed and, if the state continues to get some spring moisture and summer monsoons once again, the trophy potential should be that much better.
New Mexico made a change a few years ago to their antelope hunt structure. Previously, applicants who applied for and drew a rifle license would have a ranch then assigned to them that they could also hunt. That is no longer the case. Currently, applicants who draw a rifle, muzzleloader or archery license through the draw can hunt public land within their unit(s) and any private land that they can gain written permission to hunt. New Mexico now offers unlimited antelope private land licenses and, for those that hire an outfitter who has access to private land, this is an excellent opportunity if you do not draw. You can also attempt to obtain permission on private land and, in that case, you can simply buy a license over-the-counter (OTC) from the New Mexico Game and Fish Department. It’s a tall order to gain permission on your own due to outfitters leasing access to the best private parcels, but for someone really willing to dig in and make a ton of cold calls, it may be possible.
For those applicants applying in the draw for licenses, New Mexico offers archery, rifle and some muzzleloader licenses in select units. The archery hunt is early, generally running from Aug. 4 to 12 when hunting water can be a good option on a dry year. Monsoon rains can make that challenging and are not uncommon, but a good number of hunters still find success hunting on a water source. Most units have a few rifle hunts — most of which also occur in the last two weeks of August.
The best trophy potential is still on private ranches, but the archery and rifle hunts available through the draw that occur on public land are still fun hunts with decent trophy potential.
The units in the table above are the best public land draw antelope hunt options. As previously stated, there is good antelope hunting on private land and those licenses are available OTC if you can gain written permission to hunt or if you book a hunt with an outfitter who has access to private lands. Those private land licenses are only valid on the private land that permission was granted, but this is still a good way to secure an antelope license. It will just require booking with an outfitter or really digging into land ownership and making cold calls.
New Mexico is an excellent trophy state for antelope, but getting a license can be hard for DIY draw hunters. With it being relatively cheap to apply, we encourage applicants to apply. You will be refunded the cost of the antelope license if you are unsuccessful in the draw. As long as you are buying the hunting license to apply for other species like elk, deer or the exotic species, you should strongly consider also applying for antelope!
