Hi everyone - I'm still in shock but I drew two tags in New Mexico this year as a non-resident; unit 13 early archery elk (and) unit 21, 24 archery antelope. I've been applying in NM for 5 years and the first 4 = zippo. The 5th was the lucky number. Very excited! Going to submit a separate post for the elk so this one is for the antelope. The 21, 24 block is pretty big. I have my eye on a few areas but was curious if anyone had any insight? I'll be driving from Reno and back and trying to figure out if I come in from the North or South. Would prefer to narrow my focus a little and shave off any unnecessary miles. Any help is much appreciated!

Congrats on the tags, I drew the 21/24 tag also. Good luck and happy hunting.
For what it's worth here is the hunt recap - after 5 days of heat, sweat, torture, and missing a giant on the 4th day, I finally took this guy at 54 yards. This is a tough hunt with pretty bad hunter congestion in some areas. Worth it though. Very happy with this guy. I don't have an exact score but we rough taped him in the upper 70s with the broken right tip. Hope you all enjoy!

Awesome buck! Congrats!
Thank you! Good luck in the future draws. Took me 5 years to get a tag and I drew two. When it rains it pours I guess!
Thanks!
Thank you!
This one was spot-n-stalk. It was about my 30th attempt (or so). So hard to pin these animals down. Their eyesight is unbelievable.
Thank you! I was determined to not sit a waterhole and kill a buck spot-n-stalk.

That's a beauty. Nicely done!
If you are referring to my New Mexico elk tag in 2019, no I did not. I have a writeup on that as well. Very hard hunt but an incredible experience.
Congrats! Really cool buck!
I know its been a few years already since you posted this but was hoping you could give me some pointers for the units. I drew last rifle hunt this year in 21 and 24.
First time putting in for NM Antelope, and I was drawn for units 21, 24 in October, same dates as you. Beyond excited! Although I can't find any information online for these units so, if anyone has insight into these units, it would be greatly appreciated.
