One of the best sources of information is the hunting proclomation. It is available for free at every sporting goods store and can be downloaded from the game and fish website. Drawing a tag for big game is a learning experience. To apply, you need to choose an area to apply for. Most of the really good hunting areas are hard to draw a tag. I would suggest you start by scouting different areas that you may be interested in and determine what game unit that is in. I live in Albuquerque and have hunted several different areas.
