New Mexico pronghorn hunt ANT-1-246
Unit 57: youth only. Bag limit female or immature (F-IM). 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 2024 draw did
New Mexico offered 5 licences on hunt code ANT-1-246 in 2024 and issued 5 — the hunt filled. Among the three pools the state draws separately, no nonresident applicant ranked it first; no resident applicant ranked it first; no guided (outfitter) applicant ranked it first.
This hunt code stops appearing after 2024. 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 5 years it was drawn.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 10 |
| 2023 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 19 |
| 2022 | 10 | 5 | 0 | 13 |
| 2021 | 10 | 5 | 0 | 14 |
| 2020 | 10 | 2 | 8 | 11 |
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.
