Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for New Mexico Mule Deer Unit 6A,6C?

The most recent published odds are 4.7% for resident applicants in 2022 — 1,783 applicants for 84 tags on the Rifle Draw buck only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 7.8% (6 tags, 77 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 6A,6C?

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.
