texastrophies Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 For anyone that applies as a NR in New Mexico and have not heard about the proposed changes to the tag allocations, please read below. This information is from the Huntin' Fool magazine. There is a link at the bottom where you can go in a voice your opinion and it will be sent to all of the NM Senators. Feel free to do that. Urgent New Mexico Legislative Action Item New Mexico Senate Bill SB196 has recently passed the Senate Conservation Committee and is heading to the Senate Fiscal Committee. If it passes in it's current form regular non-resident applicants will be limited to 2% of the total number of tags where guided resident and non-resident hunters may get 8% of the tags for any given hunt! They are also considering implementing the requirement to purchase a non-refundable hunting license to apply which is estimated at $90 for non-residents. New Mexico currently allocates permits in the antelope, Mule deer, and elk drawing as follows: 78% to residents, 12% to non-residents contracted with an outfitter, and 10% to regular non-resident applicants. Go to http://www.huntinfool.com/members/email_action.asp for complete details and to contact the New Mexico Senators with your opinion, comments, and/or concerns about this bill. Please feel free to forward this to any of your hunting buddies or those with interests in New Mexico hunting.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks for re-posting this link!!! 2% draw chance for NR's. See if I ever apply to NM in the future. Not worth the $90.00 for those odds. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
