LAST EDITED ON Mar-06-08 AT 08:22AM (MST)[p]They were outfitting with out getting a use permit from the forest service and useing unlic guides form what I can tell. The Gov wants there money for commerical use of land.

Non compliance with the law. As in operating without the proper licenses required by the state of NM and doing so in some primo units. Essentially, illegally competing with hunters and outfitters who are operating within the law and do have the proper permits to hunt the areas they operate in.
