The Draw; Good Luck!
New Mexico
Contributors to this thread:
It's coming soon! Best of luck!
My guess that it's already done...
I don’t expect much with the quota at 6% but maybe a third choice deer tag...anticipation before the letdown!
Keep the faith swampokie cause she ain't started singing yet!
Draw will more than likely Wednesday. I bet today the evaluation of of the last minute harvest report happens. I'm hoping they release results by Friday. If not that's just cruel =(
Being as our fate is in the hands of a gov't agency I'd say we, as hunters, should feel important when we get results by the deadline... we should feel like royalty when they show up early.
I'm thinking/hoping Wednesday also. But at least by Friday, NV is due next Monday and the NM results will affect my strategy there.
Draws over dudes! Good luck! Except to those who publicly post draw odds =p
Anyone getting any backdoor action?
No backdoor action, it's shut!
Splitlimb, how do you know the draw is over? Wait, don't tell me if you would have to kill me!
It's been over since before noon.
BuglenmIN how do you know this or are you just guess-timating? I called this am and was told the results would be made ready on the 25th of April, and that maintenance was being done before the draw...
Not a guess I know for a fact it's done it's been done since before noon and of course they're going to say that the results will be available on the 25th they say that every time they set a date for the results. The draw is done whether or not they post results early I can't say but the actual draws over with.
I have a friend who works there and she said the draw has not been processed and called my buddy who a warden out of the Roswell office and he said he doubted the draw has been done ad that locking hunting options is normal before the draw....I wonder if the department is going to release info to the public or if the 25th is the answer staff is told to say?
The answer they'll give you is the date in the proclamation. It's done .
I'm betting we have them on Wednesday. Friday at the latest.
I hope it is this week.??
Hey split can i borrow your crystal ball?
No Phil. It's bad luck to loan out a crystal ball man. You know that.
I'm looking at the results right in front of me. I see that a couple of you guys drew, but most did not.
I cannot divulge any further.
I drew not a dang thing .....oh well, next year and onto Colorado , again....
All of my apps show SOLD and highlighted green. Does this mean I drew, for everything?
That's what I have too HDE, but draw results still pending. I believe it means nothing. All this refreshing is killing me.
I promised myself I wouldn't check today, but I keep refreshing this page to see if any of you have good news
No need to check its not on your account, splitlimbs knows what I mean...
I give... whats going on here... sounds like split and loose got somethin cook'n... did y'all meet this weekend and make a connection at the speed dating event?
Ohio come on dude ! It's called farmers only!
Haha , and yesss, but the Farmers Only was with a little birdie....
Rumor is if you call your credit card company to pull the charges they'll tell you if you drew and if they don't interrupt the cancellation you didn't draw anyway.
Not true , you were charged 100% of full fee at the time of application...
I think Dyjack means to cancel the charge. LOL
--Bill
I can see it now... Split and Loose ridin the tractor together..................................... on one seat
Interesting, I'll give it a try
If it's not true then try it, Loose. They charge full, but the card company only will cancel it if you didn't draw. Duh.
PS. Tell us your units after so we know if you took our tag, or if our odds went up. Ahaha
As Loose states, "you were charged 100% of full fee at the time of application" so the only thing you could check is to see if you have a credit issued back to your card. I would assume they would hold off issuing credits until after they post results.
Stocking report email made my heart skip a beat.
Me too, Ohio. At least Gary Thomas of Estancia who caught and released a 4.24-pound largemouth bass had a good time.
Go into your account applications. Click "cancel my application". If your application gets canceled I'm certain you won't draw ;o)
Lol I know Gary Thomas !! Pretty cool
I was looking to see if I drew a Crappie tag. I did.
Damn HDE after the VV they would be crappie tags. lol
Yup Priley, after you hunt the VV might as well give up hunting and take up curling.
I was checking the fishing report for a crappie tag. Also drew a smallmouth bass tag as well.
LOL it's a good thing everyone is ahead of schedule at their jobs and can squeeze in an internet break so they can brag about how lucky they were to draw a crappie tag.
I drew an OIL San Juan razorback sucker tag!
Well, if results are posted tomorrow, there will be little work getting done for a few minutes afterward.
Some places may even bring in counseling and lollipops.
Who gets the counseling and who gets the lollipops?
If red, I will need a private corner with the play-doh and tissues...
Depends on severity of redness of who gets the counseling or lollipop.
All this talk about "backdoor" and severety of redness makes me ill...
I'm just going to go ahead and assume that I'm one of those "others" that's about to lose my mind! Actually, it's too late, I've already lost it waiting for these results.
When do you guys think it will actually be released?
I really can't complain no matter how it goes this year. I drew Valle Vidal in 2016 and Hatchets Desert BH in 2017. Plus my sons drew Vidal elk, and the other two 2B last year for their first draw.
Hey BH, how does the youth VV work? Can your kids still draw VV in the regular draw, assuming they drew as youths?
Split... its 10:01?? what gives? :D
Hah......NV apps deadline is coming up better get them in...
For VV, a youth can draw one time as a youth for the youth hunt only and then they can do the "adult" hunt later.
If you accidentally put them in for the "adult" hunt first, they are done.
HDE is exactly right. They can draw it under the youth only hunt and then can start putting in for the adult hunts after that. I put him in for the adult musket hunt this year
Swampokie......I thought that would give you hope not make you ill!!!!LOL.....I now truly believe the draw is completely random. 3 OIL's in 2 years.....No way that happens otherwise......Im just a guy. I have no connections or photos of officials in compromising situations....Just a guy that puts in every year. I love the NM draw...everyone has the same chance every year.....No waiting until you cant get up a mtn to hunt sheep.
His bull wasn't a monster, but dang good for a 9 year old!!! The broken main after the 4th made for a nice mount!
The excitement here is infectious, like kids waiting for Christmas. Pretty awesome in my little mind:)
Nice work BH! Nothing like being able to go out with the kids!
Everyone still thinking we will find out today?
It was infectious until Looserowel rained on my parade. But, I did ask for it. Holding out hope that he's full of it!
Thanks! I have my doubts. Last year I wasn't even involved in the waiting process. I got a call from a friend when they posted. It was such a great year, that I can't help myself this year. LOL I'm due for a long drought. But this is part of why I love it.
Thank you! It was an amazing year! Proof it can happen to anyone!
Go ahead and PM me my results as well, LOOSEROWEL, the 25th seems like a long way off! lol
The most agonizing word in the dictionary ....."pending"
tags for everyone .....unless you put in for the zones I did...
Phew, I put in for 16f, 16g, and 16g 2nd hunt.
Crap! Unsuccessful. : ^(
Oh wait, that was bear and turkey
So my wife(who requests a refund if unsuccessful) is able to go in to buy a license. Does that mean she did not draw?
No! They took care of that door two years ago! It is now fort Knox!
So I thought it would come out today for sure.....Any idea on when?
By this friday or next wednesday is my prediction.
they will not wait til the 25th, its coming out early
Last year it was Wednesday the 12th
Guess it will be the 12 th this year too
Any time soon would be good.
Two more weeks....two more weeks..... two more weeks.....
Remember when I would get up at midnight to check on draw. 12 am April 25 for sure if they go back to old ways.
The good ole days Retired. I used to have five windows pages open, refreshing all of them every minute to get in and see the results. Yes, I was part of the problem as to why the system crashed. LOL
10am today was when they did them last year. Part of me hopes they don't drop until turkey season is going so I can have something to focus on if I don't draw lol.
Good for you jack! I think ill work my hounds and horses. Think we are stuck waiting this one out guys.
Well 10:00 a.m. on the 12th has come and gone! Still no results! At this point all I can hope for is 10:00 a.m. on the 25th lol!
10 a.m. on the 25th is about the only guarantee out there...
just 2 more posts and we'll hit 100 discussing something that hasn't even happened LOL!
Maybe if we get to 100 G&F will feel sorry for us and release the results.
Do I win a premier tag for being the 100th post
Premier ear tag that's bright orange so no one mistakes you for a deer.
mrelite definitely gets the orange tag labeled "'Not for human consumption' ". And apparently hitting 100 posts didn't automatically trigger release of the results.
I'll take what ever I can get but I worry that since it's orange someone might mistake me for a turkey..........
NFHC is much better than a tag that says "eat me"
Lol.....my bighorn had an orange tag that said exactly that! Hahaha
My refresh button is wearing out. This is torture.
Productivity at job sites has to be lower than Super Bowl Monday or NCAA Basketball day 1
At first it's like whatever,ya this sucks, hope we find out! The more I find out that results are being leaked , the more my patience is turning to being pissed off! I understand there are perks to all jobs!! (At no fault of the friend) When people are leaking info to personal friends while thousands are waiting anxiously,and KNOWING THE RESULTS ARE DONE, that's just a load of BS!
I wish they'd just update us on when they'll actually be released so I don't have to go through this
I wish they'd stop it with homie hook up on the inside info and just post it. That's not cool at all!!
I agree, if the draw is done, what is the purpose for not posting it? They must know that the "homie hook-up" rumors will leak since nobody ever seems to be able to keep their mouths shut about anything... from draw results or hunting units on a national forum!
Can't get the NMDGF website to load.......Did it hit?
Ugggg.....still won't load for me
BH they must have blocked you
The G&F is like a mother dog and we are all the puppies trying to suckle
BH there must be a bunch of puppies latched on and you'll have to wait your turn
Zukerburg banned BH from the G&F site! LOL
@#$% Zuckerburg! Hahahaha.....don't they know I'm the Alpha pup???
Just printed my kids' turkey licenses off, so the website works still. Oh yeah, still pending...
HDE, don't forget you need the tags also.
They mail em to you and it takes a few days +-5
Tags showed up last Thurs.
OIL's are showing up on accounts again. Does anybody have a new OIL code?
No. There goes my RM BH chance : ^ (
I was hoping that stupid VV1EES was going away...
Lol.....Maybe they haven't added the new ones? My family has nothing new
If they have added them, it won't be long before they release
4-18-18.... has a nice ring to it doesn't it?
Do you guys have a new OIL code?
what do you mean new OIL code
I don't remember when VV showed up last year.
I just checked and I do not have any new OIL codes. I now has the old code that I due in the past. so that is different today
can anyone see IBEX or Oryx OTC licenses . I can see either of them in the OTC page.
Also, Harvest Report changed to 2018, but still nothing
So when you look at your applications and then refresh the page, my deer and barbary apps are always the top two, while the elk, antelope, and ibex are in different orders after deer and barbary every time. Think there's anything to that? Does anybody else have an app that is always in the same position?
Don't think it matters. I put my two daughters in for turkey and bear for the first draw. One has the bear app first followed by the turkey. The other has them the opposite way (the order I put them in).
Both drew turkey and they both appear in the order I put them in.
I'm interested in this.....Me and my boys are guaranteed deer tags. Those never change order in the refresh. Also, two boys don't have antelope shift and one doesn't have Bighorn shift......he is in for youth ram and ewe
All of mine except for deer shift(again guaranteed). All of my wife's shift
I just saw what you've been talking about. All of my apps shift except deer elk and bh.
My elk and oryx flip flop, the rest stay. My purchase order below also doesn't seem to be in any particular order, but my oryx and elk are the last 2. My license, no refund, sits at the top. Dunno if any of this means squat. So did I draw deer, antelope, and barbary or vice versa?
Idk the BH throws me off lol
Chu guys are makin me crazy! We'll find out Wednesday!
Maybe tomorrow if we r lucky. The harvest reports being 2018 is definitely a good step. I am not going to hold my breath though.
Split limb! Have faith! You and my boy drew BH!!!!! Are yoiu in for ewe?
Everyone will get a 2018 harvest report if you chose no refund on your game license. In essence, it will be for upland game and waterfowl.
Not saying it's for sure, but is anyone else having All of theirs jumping around when you refresh?
It's repeatable even after logging out and back in.
Have a guy who only Oryx stays still all else shifts
Yes, i have 4 friends and family that each applied for deer and elk, 2 of their apps move and two dont. And its repeatable. I think its meaningful
Did they put in together?
No they are all seperate apps
My apps stay in the same order: bighorn, deer, and elk...the order I applied.
My apps stay in the same order: bighorn, deer, and elk...the order I applied.
On "Draw Hunt Applications" not my purchases or license sales?
Oryx35.....Maybe you drew 2 out of 3? All of my family has different apps shifting. Some all shift, some all but one, some
My choices per species doesn’t change, but the order of species does. Deer is constant.
That's the same for us all....not choices but species
I have no idea if it means anything, but it could make sense. I've drawn deer the last 12 years in a row, so expecting that again, and barbary isn't unexpected. And I can never draw elk, antelope, or ibex so that's normal lol
I should draw elk n deer but the big Horn is not true
Maybe you did and the bighorn doesn't have anything to swap with?
It happened to me last year.....it can happen split limb!
I applied for every species except for javelina man. Deer ,elk, ibex,oryx , antelope, Barbary, bighorn.
BH, I was looking at the draw hunt applications. 2 of 3 would be awesome, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Why do I feel like a 3rd grader wrote my post yesterday. What I was saying, was that I Can not see either of the options to get an over the counter oryx or ibex.
"Why do I feel like a 3rd grader wrote my post yesterday. What I was saying, was that I Can not see either of the options to get an over the counter oryx or ibex."
They haven't been there since the draw happened man. Along with deer and Barbary. If they were up a guy would be able to tell if they drew that species by attempting to purchase the tag.
I'm not sure I know what you're looking at when you say the OIL is gone? Is the code gone leaving you with 2 codes and a blank space?
On "my account" at the bottom. The once in a lifetime codes you have drawn normally show. They were gone, then were back yesterday and are gone again.
hmm, not so sure what in the world that would mean.
Doing away with OIL hunts so I can go to VV again!!!
I can now see the Barbary Otc tag on the otc page, but when I try to add it to my cart, it says already have a draw application for this species. Can anyone who applied for barbary add it to their cart??
I did nm of apply for Barbary. I'm able to buy an OTC
BH, you did or did not apply for barbary?
And now barbary is gone on my page
Damn it Barbary was up,??? I could have checked!
Mine says I have 2 OIL tags!
I did not....and it is gone again
Lol!!!! That you drew in the past Butcherboy?
I'd wager he hadn't even looked lately and is going off past years...
They removed the April 25 draw results link from the events calendar on the home page...
Wow, 5pm tonight or 10am tomorrow?
Hey Looser......"Boom"......"Ding ding ding"? Are you auditioning for a Police Academy remake?
I can see it now "We apologize for the delay in providing draw results. So many people were logging into their accounts to search for conspiracy theory clues, our system crashed..." LOL
Hahaha!!!! Smarba believes the phrase "we are from the govt. We are here to help".
......and "I'm only dancing to pay my way through Medical School". Hahahaha!
Sorry guys, not new OIL tags. Oil oryx from 2009 and oil VV from 2013. Just thought I would stir the pot some more! Heck, I haven’t even looked at the website since I put in for all my hunts!
Why is the release date gone!!!? Tomorrow 10am?
They removed the date of the 25th because there is a special game comission meeting on the 26th.
Something's afoot...
I’m in a betting mood. Split what you wanna bet we get results tomorrow??
Backdoor is working they're coming out tomorrow
From another local forum. These are not my words, but from a NM resident.
"Just heard from my G&F buddy that the system was hacked. All draw data was corrupted and they are going to have to do the draw again. Will delay the results until May 16th. Sorry to all. "
Split, you sure BD is working???
I hope not!
Lol...you guys have no fun!! Good luck tomorrow! :)
So far the shifting apps theory holds water. My mom and wide did not draw anything. The rest of us didn't request a refund
Well hopefully we find out this morning... fingers crossed lol
What do you all think this morning!!
My prediction is soon and splitlimb you and ur son will be happy...
I hope so Steve . More for him than me .
16D second season and Burro Mtn whitetail Muzzleloader, Yes!! wife got an Oryx Tag.
Finally got into the system. No dice for me. Dang it. Congrats to everyone who drew! Best of luck out there
Drew 2nd bow hunt and deer
BH ewe, Deer, and cow elk for us
I knew you would be , congrats...
I drew 15 late. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated and I’d be glad to return the favor on anything in Colorado or Wyoming
I drew Barbary sheep and off range Oryx
Right on Priley! Love that unit. Shall I name locations for everyone like the unit 15 thread? ;) Nah, don't think I will. Someone else already has in a thread or 2 floating around out there in cyberspace :)
Oh sorry Trophy...I guess I guess I thought that's how things work here now? Or is it only for certain people and units?
Lol as long as it's not my unit it's fair game ;)
