Finding a goat up here isn't hard. It's a pretty low stress hunt as long as you have a little land to cruise around. I thought new Mexico had a bunch of them as well.
We have a good number, but there aren't that many tags available in the public draw. Competition for those is fierce. I want to say there's about a one in 15 chance of pulling a tag. In 24 combined years of applying, the wife and I have drawn one tag each. One can buy landowner authorizations, but the average cost for one buck tag here is greater than my cost to buy three tags in WY and drive up there.
I drew my third choice this year - two does in unit 9. Went ahead and got a leftover buck tag for unit 8 just because I'll be in the area. I've never hunted either unit, but I'm gonna give it a whirl.
