Permit first. Then pack for this hunt.

4 bighorn sheep hunt codes. New Mexico runs a pure random draw (no preference or bonus points). Odds below are 1st-choice drawn ÷ 1st-choice applicants. Nonresident column combines Non-Resident and Outfitter pools (NMDOW reports them separately; outfitter-pool applicants apply through a registered outfitter).

Unit boundaries on this page are approximate representations, not legal descriptions. Confirm with NMDOW before you hunt. Full disclaimer.
