Sounds exactly like what they did with deer for private land , unlimited tags but has to correspond with a public hunt code date
Private-land Only Pronghorn Licenses
To hunt on private-land only, hunters must obtain a Private-land Only Pronghorn License and tag?
available online, by telephone, from license vendors or at NMDGF offices. Online and telephone
purchases must be made at least 14 days prior to hunt start date to allow mailing of tags. When obtaining
a Private-land Only Pronghorn License, the hunter must select a hunt code which corresponds with a
Pronghorn-Draw Hunt Code for the unit, bag limit, sporting arm type and season date.
