New Mexico deadline is April 24th. Many places to hunt. There is no preferance points in New Mexico. There are several places that a non-res will pay $750 for a quailty bull hunt. Other places are $490 for bull and even less for a cow. You could even try and draw a cow tag on the Jicariilla Indian Reservation. I think it cost $500 for a cow tag. Then you must have a guide at $250 per day. Usually this is a one or two day hunt. Guaranteed meat in the freezer. Many units have large bulls.

It all depends on what you want out of your hunt.
