New Mexico bear hunt BER-2-107
Unit 57, Sugarite Canyon State Park.. Of the people who ranked this hunt first, how many drew it — year by year, and separately for each of the three pools New Mexico draws. Every figure comes from a Department of Wildlife report linked at the foot of this page.
What the 2019 draw did
New Mexico offered 5 licences on hunt code BER-2-107 in 2019 and issued 5 — the hunt filled. Among the three pools the state draws separately, 4 nonresident applicants ranked it first and none of them drew it; 52 resident applicants ranked it first and 4 drew it, 7.69%; no guided (outfitter) applicant ranked it first.
This hunt code stops appearing after 2019. The department's 2026 report does not carry it, and this site does not map a retired code onto a current one — a renumbered hunt is not necessarily the same hunt, and the department has published nothing that says which is which. What is below is the record of the one year it was drawn.
First-choice draw rate, by pool and year
| Year | Pool | Ranked it first | Drew on first choice | First-choice draw rate | Ranked it 2nd or 3rd | Licences to this pool | Share of the quota |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Resident | 52 | 4 | 7.69% | 51 | 5 | — |
| 2019 | Nonresident | 4 | 0 | 0.00% | 12 | 0 | — |
| 2019 | Guided (outfitter) | 0 | 0 | — | 1 | 0 | — |
Share of the quota is the department's own R% / NR% / O% column: this pool's share of the licences offered. It is an allocation split set by state law — a minimum of 84% resident, 10% outfitted, 6% nonresident — and not a chance of drawing. It reads 100% on any hunt residents took in full. It is shown because the department publishes it and a reader will meet it elsewhere, not because it answers the question this page is about.
Licences offered against licences issued
These are different numbers and the department publishes both. A hunt can fail to fill, and 35 of the 893 hunts in the 2026 report did.
| Year | Licences offered | Licences issued | Applicants who ranked it first | Applicants in total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 5 | 5 | 56 | 120 |
Applicants in total counts everyone who ranked this hunt anywhere in their three choices, across all three pools. It is a measure of demand, not of competition for a first-choice licence.
