Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for New Mexico Mule Deer Unit 34?
The most recent published odds are 67.1% for resident applicants in 2025 — 1,802 applicants for 1210 tags on the Rifle Draw buck only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 32% (78 tags, 244 applicants). New Mexico publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.
How many preference/bonus points do I need for New Mexico Mule Deer Unit 34?
We won't guess. The New Mexico report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.
Is the competition increasing for New Mexico Mule Deer Unit 34?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle Draw buck only hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 24.4% in 2025 and 67.1% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
