New Mexico public draw

[Gila]

We are in the process of changing the public draw. The majority of New Mexico hunters are in agreement that the outfitter set aside of 10% of the tags should be eliminated. To allocate more tags to residents and non-residents alike, we are suggesting that 90% of the tags go to residents and 10% of the tags be allocated to non-residents. New Mexico has a four year cycle to review all big game rules. We are currently in the review year so we can get this done with the support of our Attorney General and state legislature. Our primaries are in June so it is imperative that we contact our state legislators now. If you are a New Mexico resident hunter please contact your local state representative and senator.

Make Sure New Mexico's Wildlife Is Managed as a Public Trust

New Mexico's hunters and anglers depend on a simple promise: our wildlife is to be held in the public trust for the benefit of the people. Right now, state legislators are asking whether the system used to allocate hunting licenses on public lands is living up to that promise. In a formal...

Thanks for posting. Sounds like it will be interesting.

Who is “we” and what is your specify role in this process?

The resident hunters in this state.

The resident hunters in this state.

You represent all resident hunters in New Mexico ? Under what organization ? BHA ?

My role is a resident hunter who just wants to hunt. I do not work for or represent any organization. BHA and NMWF are the major hunting conservation groups that support us in this effort. I personally do not agree with those groups lock, stock and barrel but this is one time that those groups align with our best interests. Hunters dissing other hunters is exactly what Wildlife for All and Center for Biological Diversity want in this state. Having 80% of resident hunters not out there hunting is just another step up in thier agenda.

Thanks for the clarification.

I do not represent all resident hunters. I represent myself as an average joe resident hunter.

So why include the word “we”

Do you represent BHA ?

Are we now allowed to post petitions for politically involved orgs on here ? Because thats exactly what you are talking about.

If you do work and represent BHA as “we”
Be proud of it and let it be known

This is just another slimy way to get around the rules. Which is on brand from the group you represent.

As I replied to you before on each of those 1000 posts: I will never give up until we get our hunting back. And that includes raising the tag allocation for non-residents.

 

[WRO]

Why don't you advocate for 15% so the nrs don't actually lose quota.

No. You’ll make a post about BHA or whatever org you rep.

Then you’ll get called out.

Then you’ll backtrack on it because you probably know you need approval to post petitions for politically backed initiatives.

Then you’ll pretend you represent the average hunter and don’t work for BHA or whoever else you rep so mods won’t take your post down.

You’ll litter every post about New Mexico about it with false claims like you do with every post you make. Such as “80% of hunters not out there”

Let’s not try to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes here. The 10% outfitter pool is almost completely utilized by nonresident applicants. If/when that goes away, the net result will be less tags allocated to non-residents yearly, and more for residents. It will also most likely have the effect of reducing (not improving) draw odds in the non-resident pool despite the move to 10%.

I don’t mind NM residents pursuing more tags for themselves. I do mind when they knowingly try to deceive non-residents into believing this would be good for them too.

There is no deception here. That’s ludicrous. Almost all of the private land tags go to non-residents that includes unit wide LO tags. People like you put in for the public draw just for luck. Then when you don’t draw you buy a hunt from an outfitter or a hunt club. I would be willing to bet that most non-residents would rather have better odds to draw a DIY tag and then if they do draw a tag, decide if they want to book a guide or not.

Man I don’t know what you are smoking but it’s got to be illegal. I have yet to see one coherent thought from you. It’s all over the news. My major is in science and my minor is math but it doesn’t take a scientist to figure this one out.

Just so everyone is clear.

Residents and Non Residents can apply in the outfitter draw. Trying to say getting rid of them will help odds for anyone is ridiculous. Those same people will just be now in the regular draw.

Also Non Residents and Residents have the same opportunity to purchase a LO tag. Also they can build relationships to help secure one as many have. Also noting that many of these tags go unused every year.

What does a news cast that you have posted a few times have to do with you posting another BHA link ?

This is many years of you with the same non sense. Old podcasts, made up stats, saying you represent New Mexico hunters, then saying your non affiliated with anyone, not answering basic questions.
