LAST EDITED ON Jan-08-19 AT 08:53AM (MST)[p]I've said it a million times, our officers do more with less.Its not that the dept. picks and chooses who they will get , its all about what they can prove in a court of law. Many people call in efforts to help some with solid evidence , others just trying to get eyes on persons who are poaching without worry or habitual poachers! Not all citations are for poaching but for mistakes made.There are still consequences for those and some times persons even get upset that they are being cited for mistakes , like I said there are consequences and the officers do not pick and choose whom will get the punishment.It is the hunters responsibility to know and understand the law, rules and guide lines to hunt and fish New Mexico. I have cousin who was sited for jumping out of the passenger side of truck and shot a decoy and wanted to fight it as entrapment. I was like seriously? NO ONE MADE HIM JUMP OUT AND PULL THE TRIGGER & and they have him on video...Now its up to the judge, and UNFORTUNATELY so many judges state wide do not do the hard work of NMDGF officers justice....Poachers in NM ARE NOT AFRAID TO GET CAUGHT , until we start taking away all hunting and fishing privileges away and garnishing high penalties , no one will take it seriously!!! I HAVE ZERO SYMPATHY for them , its a choice.....Know if your on public or where private is , have all your required licenses, follow ALL the rules , know what the unit boundaries are and be certain your in your drawn unit, know the fish catch limit to the water your fishing , know the tackle restrictions.... Then there wont be any issues....simple as that...
