New Mexico Pronghorn — Unit 17

New Mexico Pronghorn Unit 17 draw odds, tags, and applicants by year — resident and nonresident pools shown separately. New Mexico's report publishes no point thresholds.

No point thresholds in this report. The New Mexico release these tables come from lists applicants and tags only. Every "Pts Req." cell below reads as not published, not as zero points needed — and each table covers one residency pool, so read the heading before you read the number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for New Mexico Pronghorn Unit 17?
The most recent published odds are 1.9% for resident applicants in 2025 — 1,027 applicants for 19 tags on the Rifle Draw bull/buck only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 0% (20 tags, 14 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 Pronghorn Unit 17?
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 Pronghorn Unit 17?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle Draw bull/buck only hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 2.1% in 2024 and 1.9% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
