NMPaul · Mar 18, 2011

I screwed up on my last post. I misread an email.

SB196 passed the house and now goes to the Governor. I assume it will be signed by the Governor.

Sorry Hank I had to delete your post with my miss-post.

Love it or hate it, it now appears to be passing into law.

kimbersig · Mar 18, 2011

Love it!! YAY!!!!! I think. we'll see what happens.

Abiggerfish2fry · Mar 18, 2011

YAY!!!! here I come Wyoming.

WapitiBob · Mar 18, 2011

Congrats to those who pushed for its passage.

hank4elk · Mar 18, 2011

No problemo Paul. It's going to change things here now ,and not for the better for NR DIY folks. I think the "I can't draw a tag whiners" still won't draw and the cost for all of us will go up.IMHO

WapitiBob · Mar 18, 2011

there is no doubt it won't help res odds much. I see a wait period on the horizon.

ELKMAN · Mar 18, 2011

3,000 more residents of NM will hold a NM hunting permit!

MIJOBCFD · Mar 19, 2011

Thats great! Even if my chances only go up a fraction there still going up! And thats a plus for residents. Who knows I could be one of the guys who gets one of the 3000 tags.

WapitiBob · Mar 19, 2011

An interesting point was brought up in the discussion prior to the vote; NM Game and Fish is paying for the Wolf reintroduction so our tag and new license fees will be going to pay for that project.

live4muleys · Mar 19, 2011

I just hope that tag prices don't go way up;

cantclosethedeal · Mar 19, 2011

Being a non-residient, I am sure I will not be missed. Looks like this will be my last application in New Mexico.
Enjoy your great state.
If the revenue numbers sited by the pro-bill group are legitimate, the quality of animals will improve and the locals win. If these numbers were "justified" to win the argument, everybody looses.

What was the final breakdown for the NR tags? Glad you guys & Gals in NM get some more tags. Just wish the DIY'er NR had better division if the breakdown stayed the same as I last heard.

WapitiBob · Mar 20, 2011

Residents get 84%, all the cow tags, all the wma hunts, full access to the outfitter tags, and all outfitters need own/lease property and be tax payers in nm.

DoeNob · Mar 21, 2011

Can a non-resident still buy a landowner cow tag under the new bill or is there no way a NR can kill a cow in NM now?

WapitiBob · Mar 21, 2011

Legislation refers only to draw tags, you can buy a LO cow tag.

TRC · Mar 21, 2011

Does anyone know if this will change draw quota for Ibex, Big horn and other hunts that do not separate NR vs Resident?
TRC

philthy · Mar 21, 2011

In a nutshell, no. It'll take action by the Attorney General to get a quota in place for those species. I'd love to see that happen some day. Just look at some of the stats over the years. NRs have a chance to drawn every tag.

EVILNR · Mar 21, 2011

just the way I like it!!

kimbersig · Mar 21, 2011

according to a friend that is on the commission...she said that the changes are for ALL species. including bighorn, oryx, and ibex. just what i heard.

you need some new friends.

Well at least you're not the main stream opinion. And you wonder why 196 came about?

will you be my friend

Go $!@# yourself

EVILNR · Mar 21, 2011

Dang, you guys in NM sure are up-tight.
y'all got a shortage of women out there or what?
Too many other opportunities for me to worry about losing NM.
I was just having a little fun, R-E-L-A-X people!!!!!!

delmag1942 · Mar 22, 2011

Don't much care I guess....the sad part for me is that this will almost guarantee tougher draw odds in the other western states!

TrevorE · Mar 23, 2011

So the NR NG ended up with 6% in the final bill? Then 10% for the guided pool? Is this correct? Way better than the 2% that was proposed. What about the license fee?

Thanks

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have
some good ideas!

WapitiBob · Mar 23, 2011

License fee will be $65 (4/1/2011)
app fee is currently $20

app fee will change if the card processor fees change.
License fee can only change in the Legislature

Gentleman, this is a done deal, the governor is going to sign this bill into law. I find it perplexing that this sight is still being barraged with negative posts. Perhaps if those individuals who expended the energy they had into their postings had used it lobbying their interest to their local lawmakers things would be different, but they did not, and here we are. I am also dumbfounded by the amount on NR's who post on this NM forum as if they were born and raised here. Its not a bad deal for the resident, as long as your not an outfitter.

WapitiBob · Mar 30, 2011

It's not a bad deal for the resident or the resident Outfitter.

RANGER690 · Mar 30, 2011

As a non-resident, will i still be able to purchase an over the counter mule deer tag to hunt private land?

nmyotebuster · Mar 30, 2011

AFAIK

You can buy the license from NMG&F is you have a private land tag from the land owner.
