If you’re planning to apply for a big game tag in New Mexico this year, this episode is for you. The draw process can be confusing, and we want to make sure you have all the information you need to apply successfully. Joining me are two experts who work directly with hunters—Christina Salazar, executive secretary to the director at New Mexico Game and Fish, and Robin Quintana, the department’s Information Coordinator. They’ll help us break down key deadlines, common mistakes to avoid, how to research and select the right hunts, and answer some of the most frequently asked questions from both residents and non-residents. Whether you’re new to the draw or have been applying for years, this episode will give you the tools to navigate the system with confidence.
