New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

This isn't a done deal. It's a request by some legislators.

In all likelihood the lumping of bighorn codes is going to be the only change as a result of this, just like the rounding change forced through. The outfitter set aside has been challenged before and wasn't knocked out.

Basically this is just going to end the chance of any nonresident drawing a bighorn sheep tag in New Mexico guided or unguided.

It seems like the state is trying to increase residents draw odds but not willing to do what it would take to increase residents draw odds. But in these types of situations any small win is a giant victory
