Thx for clarification 5year, so I'm left with the only reasons Rick hasn't received refund is the CC has gone inactive or changed? Or some internal NMDGF/charging agency glitch. Rick better call NMDGF and sort it out, because refund was long overdue.

The only reason you wouldn't have received a refund by now is if you chose to be put on the depredation list. I think. Not sure how they do that list these days.

SLM, I agree. There are some LO that provide benefit, others not so much. I've also seen drinkers turned off when cattle aren't around, so yes there may be some benefit to wildlife when cattle are there, but other times of the year nada.

It was my understanding the system didn't crash, it was too many people applying over the telephone that overloaded their staff so they weren't able to get through everyone on hold... We were reminded 8,565 times to apply, apply, apply. We had months to do so. IMO anyone who couldn't get...

HAAAA!!!!

For whatever reason areas I've seen birds in the past simply didn't produce any activity last year. And everywhere else I looked turned up empty too. Will be ready to try new spots this year while keeping tabs on old areas. Best of luck to all.

Congrats!

7 days may not necessarily be that bad for you or me personally. But next year when they decide it should be extended to 14, then later on 4 months... As stated above "Shall not be infringed" is the issue. The issue isn't whether 1 day, 5 days or 7 days is the magic time period.

I've been surprised how good their hearing is, resulting in me busting them on numerous occasions...

Amen and amen! Thx

Definitely not NMSFW rebranded. DSC and NRA are IMO the biggest national voices. While no organization is perfect, they can do almost infinitely more than small unorganized local organizations when it comes to supporting hunting and firearms nationally.

I'm well aware of the "what's new" section

Let's all post every single nuanced change so there is no possibility of sniffing out a sleeper draw...

Amen, thx for sharing!

I swear the management plan often seems like "kill them off, so we can work to help them recover" sort of job security type of thing. Doesn't matter if we're talking about deer, ibex, elk, pronghorn... Maybe I'm just too simple minded and don't understand?
