SANTA FE, NM - Results from the oryx drawing, the final special hunts drawing for the 1999-2000 seasons, will be available Aug. 16.
Lucky lists may be viewed at Game and Fish Department offices in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Roswell, Raton and Santa Fe. Results also will be available from the 1-900-336-DRAW (3729) phone line, there is a $5 fee, and from the Department of Game and Fish Web site, http://www.gmfsh.state.nm.us/ Hunters will need their application numbers to check for success on the Web.
The Department of Game and Fish received 91,000 applications this year. A total of 96 nonresident applicants were accidentally left out of the draw, but will get their shot at a license. The hunt codes for which those nonresident applied will be redrawn in Las Cruces after the oryx drawing, said Roberta Salazar Henry, assistant director of the Department. Any of the 96 nonresidents who is successful will receive a license, but no previously successful applicants will be denied licenses, Salazar Henry said.
The drawings are held in Las Cruces at New Mexico State University. The New Mexico Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit conducts the drawing. The research personnel receives lists of application numbers, residency status and hunt codes, but does not know any personal information about the applicants.
