Applying for Draw Licenses, Permits and Population Management Hunts
For elk and deer draw hunts, there are standard (S), quality (Q), highdemand
(HD), or both quality and high-demand (Q/HD) hunts. There
are no quality or high-demand hunts for any other species. Those hunt
types are all standard (S). Refer to deer and elk-season pages for the
correct fee type.
Fill in the total amount enclosed with this form. This is the total dollar
amount for all hunters applying on the form. Applicants should include
the appropriate license fee listed under License Fees on
page 7. Hunters should send the fee for THE MOST EXPENSIVE
HUNT for which they are applying. If you draw a less expensive
hunt, you will receive a refund for the difference. Deer, bear, and
turkey draw applicants should send only the $8 application fee for each
applicant. Make checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders payable to
the Department of Game and Fish. Do not send cash, a blank check
or a blank money order.
Up to 4 hunters per form may apply for deer permits, elk, javelina and
pronghorn antelope draw licenses. When more than one person applies
per form for pronghorn antelope, members of the party may have to be
assigned to separate but nearby ranches. Up to 2 hunters may apply for
oryx once-in-a-lifetime hunts, WSMR Badged hunts, and turkey draw
hunts. Only 1 hunter may be listed per application for bighorn sheep,
ibex, bear and all population-management hunts.
For ibex only: If you have purchased an ibex IBX-1-528 license and are
applying for a draw ibex hunt, indicate license number here and submit
only the $8 application fee. Do not apply for IBX-1-528 on Form 2008.
Applicants for deer draw permits or elk draw licenses may choose to
accept any permit or license (same sporting arms type as the applicant’s
first choice) in one of the four quadrants of the state by designating
the fourth choice on the application. See pages 20 and/or 32 for more
information on 4th choice hunts. A hunter who draws the fourth choice
will receive a license or permit for a specific hunt within that quadrant.
A hunter drawing a fourth choice elk hunt could receive a cow license
even if the first three choices were for bull licenses and vice versa. If any
choice is for a bull elk, the bull elk license fee must be sent.
Nonresidents must indicate whether they will be using an outfitter. Use
of an outfitter is optional, see page 16. Those nonresidents who plan to
contract with an outfitter must have a signed contract before applying
for a draw hunt and include that outfitter’s number on the application
form. State law requires that nonresidents who use an outfitter’s
number on a Form 2008 must have a valid contract with that outfitter
and must use that outfitter for the hunt. Lists of registered outfitters are
available from Department offices and are on our Web site at: www.
wildlife.state.nm.us/. Residents will receive 78% of the
licenses or permits drawn. Nonresidents who submit a valid outfitter’s
registration number on their application, and hire that outfitter, will
receive up to 12% of the licenses or permits. Nonresidents who apply to
hunt without outfitters will receive up to 10% of the licenses. This quota
does not apply to oryx, ibex and bighorn sheep hunts.
Check and initial the left box if you want your LICENSE mailed to your
outfitter instead of to you. Check and initial the right box if you want
your REFUND mailed to your outfitter instead of to you. If you do not
check either box, your license and/or refund will be mailed directly to
you.
If you are using an outfitter, fill in their registration number here. You
must have the outfitter’s current permission to use their number.
Applicants must provide the last four digits of their Social Security
Number when applying for a license or permit.
Fill in your date of birth with the month, day and year.
