NM sheep? outfitter or not for non-res? I know 2 years ago they didn't give out any non-res tags in the draw. Any thoughts on this years process?

What is the current tag allocation now (I haven't looked at the regulations this year yet!)?

Last year guided had much better,but still dismal odds.

They did give out a couple of non-res tags two years ago(I got one), although the draw that year was really screwed up. Odds are better applying with an outfitter. The odds are still terrible; they are terrible anywhere. I hunted with Bill Lewellen.

10% is more than 6%.

Last year they issued 1 Rocky & 1 Desert NR Ram tag
and 2 Rocky & 2 Desert Guided Ram tags.
The # of NR and Guided applicants for the Desert tags was nearly identical. So your odds guided are about 2X better (2 tags vs. 1), I thought it would be higher than that.
Data is on this page if you want to wade through them, "odds and reports" tab.
