    LO depredation by state?

    I have hunted here for almost 40 years, the elk herd has grown substantially, the problem is the number of draw tags had never kept up with growth since most tags went to LOs. Since 2002 draw tags have decreased by over 30% statewide while LO tags have increased by 10%. Now over 50% of all...

    LO depredation by state?

    In New Mexico the NMDGF cannot compensate directly for ungulate depredation. Instead landowners get compensated for the "habitat" they provide with transferable vouchers which allow the holder the ability to buy a unit wide tag or ranch only tag dependent on which of the programs the landowner...

    Excellent NM Elk Opportunity

    Thanks for the heads up. When I read the proclamation it gave me the impression the raffle had already taken place. Good Luck everyone.

    gps 3 axis compass

    Thanks Gman, It seems that all the new garmin model have the 3-axis electronic compass or none at all. Thanks to your post I understand that it is the older models that you have to hold level. Now I am deciding between the etrex 30 and the GPSMAP 64s. The etrex 20 and GPSMAP 64 do not have...

    gps 3 axis compass

    The thumbstick on my gps is sticking so I'm looking for a new gps. I am looking for a gps I can pull out of my pocket and it will give me the relative directions to my waypoints from where I am without having to walk with it until it recalibrates. A couple of years ago I was trying to find...

    NM results - maybe

    The E-plus system in NM is beyond repair. No other western state give gives near as many tags to Landowners as NM, not other state gives Unit Wide tags add to that no other state give outfitter a percentage of all public land tags and its a monster that needs to be scrapped. Sportsmen in NM...

    NM results - maybe

    I am thinking this does not work. I got 1-6 (elk) which I would not be unhappy with. My 3rd choice for deer was unit 38, if I am not mistaken there were leftover licenses in 38 last year or the year before Now there may not be leftovers this year, but either I was really unlucky for deer or...

    I got 1 of 6, it was elk so not totally disappointing if this is correct. I don't know which choice I got of course, probably 16B 1st season.

    NM Sheep Allocation

    That will not happen anytime soon. Last week a bill and memorial were introduced requiring a 100% increase in elk landowner tags. Fortunately the bill was pulled but the amended memorial is headed to the house floor with the amendment of just more tags instead of 100% more. A memorial is a...

    NM Sheep Allocation

    Two years ago the the courts reversed the Terk ruling so sheep are now subject to the 84/10/6 quota. Units were grouped together for the draw (not the actual hunts) so there would be enough to guarantee that residents get the 84% minimum and still have enough tags to insure outfitters get...

    RMEF Calls Out Center for Biological Diversity

    I think Randy has a reasonable suggestion. Impose guidelines for judges as to what constitutes a win for NGOs (not individuals). If you spent resources making 10 legal arguments but only won one, then the NGO should be able to collect only the fraction of the legal cost they spent on that...

    say goodbye, Best elk hunting in the country

    No problem that is funny. What's not funny is the lawsuits this decision is going to bring in the future. It caps the population at 300-325 which Scientific America says has never been done before under the EPA. Wolves will then be transferred to captivity or transplanted to Mexico. I doubt...

    say goodbye, Best elk hunting in the country

    +1 sagebrush. The USFWS basically ignored the wish of locals. The only remedy I see which seems unlikely is a legislative one. I do not believe elk hunting will end with the introduction of more wolves. They will however reduce the quality of hunts in SW NM and SE AZ, which is the best...

    say goodbye, Best elk hunting in the country

    I should have said pending legislation. So if and when it's introduced what would be the probability of getting protection for AZ and NM built in once target population are reached...

    say goodbye, Best elk hunting in the country

    http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf/PR10jM.cfm The USFWS announced they will expand the range of Mexican Wolves in AZ and NM with the option of releasing more into the wild wasting more taxpayer money. Although they did throw sportsmen some bones, wolves who attack domestic animals...
