So I went to the new mexico fish and game stats and looked up the tag allocations for the archery hunts.
1st season 60 tags, residents get 47, 13 divided between guided and non-guided non-residents
2nd season 50 tags, residents get 39, divdied 11 between guided and non-guided
3rds season 40 tags 31 go to residents 9 divided between guided and non guided.
Land owners get total of 5 unit wide tags bull, 3 cow tags.
So residents get the vast majority of tags. Land owner tags don't have to be sold, but can be, no guarantee a resident doesn't buy it or landowner even sales it. No excessive landowner tags, like in Utah. There are a reasonable number of non-rs tags, half to do it yourselfers, half to guided, healthy mix, keeps guides in business. So what are you whining about again? Statistically a non-resident will probably not draw for 20 + years with no bonus points. Residents have a much better chance. If 10% more tags were added to non-resident pool, draw odds would go up 2%. Really and your whining. New mexico may have the fairest system out there. Good luck if you get it changed. If it ain't broke do you really want to fix it?
