New Mexico pronghorn hunt ANT-1-260
Unit 59: 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 40 licences on hunt code ANT-1-260 in 2024 and issued 40 — the hunt filled. Among the three pools the state draws separately, 1 nonresident applicant ranked it first and none of them drew it; 19 resident applicants ranked it first and 8 drew it, 42.11%; 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 6 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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 40 | 40 | 20 | 122 |
| 2023 | 40 | 40 | 9 | 118 |
| 2022 | 40 | 40 | 10 | 97 |
| 2021 | 40 | 40 | 9 | 73 |
| 2020 | 40 | 26 | 16 | 50 |
| 2019 | 40 | 17 | 2 | 29 |
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.
