The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish announces a sale of 499 leftover deer licenses from the 2025-2026 big-game draw, set to begin at 10 a.m. on June 26. Initially, the licenses will be available exclusively to New Mexico residents for the first 24 hours, creating a prime opportunity for local hunters looking to secure their permits.
To purchase a license, hunters must possess a 2025-2026 Game Hunting or Game Hunting and Fishing License and fulfill all harvest reporting requirements from the previous year. If licenses remain unsold after the initial sale period for residents, they will then be opened up to nonresidents, making this a significant chance for hunters across the region to get their tags.
