NM Attempts to Abolish Game and Fish

[Loggerdude]

If you do nothing then nothing will change, a lot of people complain but never lift a hand for change.

I'm in Santa Fe and pretty sure I am not completely clueless? I am a transplant though!

I wouldn't live here but the wife likes it, easy enough to drive outta here!

It'll be ok once Colorado's wolves get established and push down into NM and wipe out the smaller Mexican wolves they're trying to protect. Liberal's heads will explode once that happens

What good are these wolves again? They are a huge suck on G&F resources and a detriment to humans…a big negative…but the woke NM gov is clueless.

I don't know what "good" they are but I do like wild places and wild creatures, so I support natural ecosystems to the greatest extent possible, whether anyone gets any "good" out of them or not.

However, where we were once islands of settlement in a sea of wilderness, we are now islands of wilderness in a sea of settlement. That means proactive management is a must.

What that means in practical application is that I support having some wolves and I support killing some wolves. The same with grizzlies and cougars.

Cancer.

In WA stare the problem is the commission is appointed by the governor and approved by the senate (if they get around to it!. The governor is anti hunter and the senate is controlled by his party. It is a very hopeless feeling.

Well this is what happens when the Blue Locusts swam and fly out of California. The destroy where ever they land.

Poor New Mexico so close to Texas so far from heaven

Why do all you Texans come over here then, I have heard Texans call New Mexico their state park!

Near as I can tell, they seem to like to go to various Rocky Mountain states to pee "Texas #1" in the snow.

I am actually from Wyoming, but I have lived in New Mexico for 4 years this trip, and lived here in high school for a few years.

I hate that Texans act like it is their state park. Especially the Cloudcroft/Ruidoso area because that is the closest area to my house.

I wish there was a way to control how they act in the Lincoln National Forest better. I have been on multiple hunts in unit 34 and had huge swaths of Texans in side by sides or jeeps ruin stalks. I think they should closer 34 during the hunting season to non-hunting traffic. If you don't have a tag, you can't come in the forest.

This is actually a common Bumper sticker in New Mexico.

No one likes the fact that we are close to Texas.

No one likes the fact that we have lib-tard government and voters that ruin our state. We have unmatched natural resources, but our close proximity to Texas really sucks. Nevada and Arizona have the same problem with California. We aren't alone.

Sad, NM is a great state but years of Blue rule is a shit hole. If the push to ban firearms wasn't bad enough, or the no trapping and predator hunts on state land guess they need to ruin G&F now.

An old rancher said at a public comment meeting on wolf reintroduction. He was fine with wolves on his private proprty if, those that wanted wolves would be just as enthusiastic about a strip club next door to their house so he could come and enjoy some wild creatures, howl a little bit and then drive home and not care what happens in their neighborhood.

 

[dtrkyman]

We have more wolves than people realize!

I believe you are right. I believe wolf hunting could be expanded without harming the long term health and viability of the population.

Having worked for several old Wyoming ranchers in my youth, and known quite a few more, I don't doubt that's exactly what he did say.

Was this an Arizona rancher? If so, he's going to be frustrated because "El Tigre" is starting to drift back in. Slowly, to be sure, but it appears he's coming. That puts El Tigre under the endangered species act and not a reintroduced population.

I have spent a decent amount of time in NM over the years. Absolutely love the landscape, history, food, etc. and hunting.

What stands out to me is how the affluent white liberal women cloaked in white linen and turquoise jewelry saddled on Subarus have effectively modern day colonized the working class there. This chasm seemingly grows every visit. Hopefully Game and Fish can survive these oppressors as they ruin everything they touch.

Looks like all the western states r tryin to abolish hunting and fishing. It's like a cancer and is growin. We the minority. Stand up and shout. Fight and fight again till lambs become lions.

 

[Trueglide]

Wtf!? In minnesota it’s the republican’s trying to pull this shit, especially as it pertains to fisheries. They want to abolish the DNR and privatize our waters. So don’t go thinking this is a one sided political thing. Both parties cater to themselves.

 

[Trueglide]

And, for those of you who disagree that both parties only give a shit about their interest and not that of their constituents- the bill is authored by both a dem and a republican (Crystal Diamond- must be her stripper name)
