New Mexico javelina hunt JAV-2-101
GMUs 19, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. Bag limit either sex (ES). 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 2026 draw did
New Mexico offered 330 licences on hunt code JAV-2-101 in 2026 and issued 330 — the hunt filled. Among the three pools the state draws separately, 68 nonresident applicants ranked it first and 19 drew it, 27.94%; 393 resident applicants ranked it first and 241 drew it, 61.32%; 5 guided (outfitter) applicants ranked it first and 5 drew it, 100.00%.

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.
The first-choice draw rate, year by year
One strip per pool, because the three are drawn separately under different shares and a single averaged line would hide the only distinction most readers are here for. Each figure is a record of what that year's draw did. None of it forecasts the next one.
Rounded to whole percentages here; the table above carries them to two decimals. A dash means nobody in that pool ranked this hunt first that year.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 330 | 330 | 466 | 1,076 |
| 2025 | 330 | 330 | 498 | 1,107 |
| 2024 | 330 | 330 | 479 | 1,087 |
| 2023 | 330 | 330 | 485 | 1,103 |
| 2022 | 300 | 300 | 550 | 1,120 |
| 2021 | 300 | 300 | 490 | 1,032 |
| 2020 | 300 | 300 | 292 | 583 |
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.
