Landowner cow tag

[vthokee]

I am leaving here very soon for a deployment. I drew a 1st rifle deer tag in unit 37. I am going to transfer it to a friend here in town that hasn't drawn anything here in NM in 3yrs. He has been a great friend so it's just a small way to say thanks. Anyway back to the subject at hand. Where can I find a L/O cow tag for a late rifle hunt when I get back off my deployment and what can I expect to pay? All I am looking for is to fill the freezer.
Thanks

Bad news..... You can't transfer your tag and you can't get 2 tags in the same year.

Actually I can transfer my deer tag. I already have the paperwork from NM game and fish AND I didn't draw an elk tag so why can I not buy a landowner tag. I didn't even put in the elk draw because I knew I would be gone for the hunt I wanted.

I think you can do both, but, cow tag prices I have seen have been high. 34 $700 +

Just a heads up. I got a deer tag transferred to me last year and it's a bit of a pain. I would definitely take care of getting the transfer done the earlier the better. It took over a month to have mine transferred and it wasn't official until the friday before I left to hunt the next day! Good luck finding a cow tag. I found them last year on craigslist over the summer for around $450-600 per tag.
