Can’t count again huh? I reckon your reading comprehension ain’t so great either. Richard Stump was appointed chair of the New Mexico State Game Commission on January 16, 2025. The podcast was most likely posted after the April 2025 Game Commission meeting so how old is it?you are literally copying and pasting a 4 year old podcast from a dude/organization that hunts on these landowner tags…it’s such high level crazy

You can ignore my posts you know. No one is forcing you to read this thread.
The primaries are in June and the gubernatorial election is this fall. SB5 took much of the power away from the Governor to appoint a game commission. I think there was a line item veto where the Governor retained the power to remove a commissioner. The dept has been “rebranded” to the Dept of Wildlife. The new State law also mandates the makeup of the Game Commission. This year brings significant change for wildlife management in New Mexico.

Once again Stump wasn’t appointed chair until Jan 2025. That date had to be the first one…listen to the link I posted which is the most recent one….sometime in 2025.Coming up on 2 years old....

I’ll help you count. The podcast came out less than a year ago. Why shouldn’t they hunt unit wide tags? That’s about the only way for a non-resident to hunt elk in public lands here. You could put in for the DIY 6% which is only like 6% of 37percent of the total tags. Cal said that he had put in for the public draw like 17 times. The rabbit hole gets much deeper than I have described, but it will all come out in the wash as they say. The dissents here on this thread are some of the non-residents slopping from the trough…It’s all going to end though, sooner or later.

Yes It's being exploited. I'm a new mexico landowner that gets one of these tags. I don't agree with the "open market concept" of it, we're treating the wildlife like a commodity at this point. I know plenty of people here who buy a parcel just because they know they can get 10-15k a tag from it every year. The system itself is a good idea, and as someone whose lived in multiple states with the point systems, im super grateful for the lottery.Is e plus the best system- no
Is e plus system being exploited- yes
From an administrative stand point maybe the e plus system is the lower cost alternative which would add value in the back end of the program. If new mexico is investing those cost savings into other aspects of it's department it theoretically would benefit all sportsmen.
Many perspectives and some less visible than others for sure.

But you are taking the incentive and opening your private land to public elk hunters which is exactly the point. I bought a good chunk of private land in a primo unit and have the same decision to make. I don't think I'm going to do it, but the point is that I'm on the fence.
