    NM landowner tags under fire

    most units that’s like 3 or < tags per season so this isn’t about opening up land or leasing land, it’s that LO are getting paid market value from the public/one person so that all hunters can use their land. You basically want socialism type price fixing Got it.

    So do they not sell grain, hay or cows for profit too? Do you not expect to get dividend’s/interest when you loan out your income investment’s. I guess you rent out your house for free? UW program leases their land out to the general public. I guess you are against all the other land...

    Desert vs Rocky Mt Mule Deer

    Age Restrictions in Lieu of APRs?

    Yes but one of the main Mulie public areas is OTC, So you either limit tags or protect younger deer. Private has a way out of spread restrictions by joining an MLD program, which also gives a longer season and into the rut. But the MLD system basically turns you into a very hands on year round...

    Age Restrictions in Lieu of APRs?

    I have one also. 20” outside rule is what’s in parts of TX. I was completely against its implementation, but after a few years I can say that I’m seeing better age class representation over all area wide. I think it works better for WT’s(15”) than Mulies but it does work. TX does have a...

    killed for Legitimate purpose is Domestic conflict. Let’s go back to Depredation on demand, of early 1900’s. Y’all think you can ignore agriculture conflict, you can’t. Economic loss will always be the deciding factor in whether wildlife exists.

    The whole concept of the North American model is exactly LO tags, and private land conservation. numerous species wouldn’t exist with out LO conservation. Tule elk and Turkeys are a perfect example. Minute LO incentive is lost more wildlife will be lost to competition of domestic grazing etc...

    Age Restrictions in Lieu of APRs?

    outside spread of 20” would cover most 2-3 year old bucks. I’m not saying I agree with it but I’m currently under that regulation and it’s working pretty decent. Seeing an up tick in age class There will always be the exception that never makes 20” outside requirement, but it’s pretty minimal

    Age Restrictions in Lieu of APRs?

    Protect the rut and you will see higher age class. aging deer works for about 5% of the hunting population, the other 95% are going to shoot the biggest they could find regardless of age class. Find is a loose term, best you could do is spread and go ear tip to ear tip, going protect most 2-3...

    There are some that open up 1000’s of acres of public also. There is no perfect system but I think NM is a fair balance of wildlife tolerance incentive and access
