New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it
Because as part of the unit wide eplus program you have to allow everyone the same access you can’t pick and choose. That is the issue here. If the gate stays locked for everyone no problem. When certain people, mostly always outfitters, can come in an out is where the issue lies. Comparing...- Nm252525

New Mexico Pronghorn Privatization
There’s no way to know the amount of animals that get poached based off these policies. You’ve got a 20 acre lot you’ve got a tag in your pocket. Just based off the insane decline of antelope I’ve seen in 32/33 alone I’d suspect it’s a lot- Nm252525

Will check it out. While I agree it documenting the ranch can just say the gates always locked and then it’s a he said she said that goes nowhere. But your comment about knowing where you are brings up another point. Whether sent signs from the state or required to buy their own. Should be...- Nm252525

There’s virtually 0 enforcement and the ranches know that. Hiked way into an eplus property last year that had a locked gate only to watch said gate be unlocked and an outfitter with clients come in. Clients were excited to shared they’d bought tags and had the only acess in as the guide tried...- Nm252525

New Mexico Landowner tags. ELK Hunters
Wasn’t the point of that but yeah you’re right. Those same ranchers pay pennies on the dollar to graze state and blm land but year they need more -

New Mexico Landowner tags. ELK Hunters
Yes wells for their cattle which do more damage then a well will replace but yeah you’re right without the state giving ranchers tags to sell there would be no elk just like there aren’t in AZ, Utah, Nevada, or any other western stste -

And if your buddy was never on the landscape the elk would roam just like they did for hundreds of years before him -

New Mexico Landowner tags. ELK Hunters
It’s not about rich and poor. It’s about the state allowing something to be sold that doesn’t belong to the those selling it. -

It’s not a draw. It’s a landowner voucher that you can buy if you have an extra 7-20k laying around. So no it’s not a luck thing it’s a money thing -

The numbers in the lottery are set and nonresidents only get 6% which is published fact. Where the number of nonresidents on the landscape increase is the eplus welfare system which primarily benefits the nonresident. Units such as 12 have nearly as many eplus tags as lottery draw tags -

NM Elk Draw
“gives outfitter income” if you look up the definition of welfare you may be surprised to learn that is exactly it. -

What if NM did it like this?
No the problem is selling of something that belongs to the tax paying public and not the land owner. Elk does damage to your field? NM is a fence out state, build a fence and keep em off. You provide water or habitat? The elk were here long before grandads well and managed to survive. You rely...- Nm252525

New Mexico Ibex
All are solid. Drawing is still the hardest part. With that tho the ibex numbers are on such a decline that even with an outfitter can’t count on getting a shot at one- Nm252525
