In case you were unaware. An excerpt from the official release.
"In another action, the Board voted to amend the pricing structure of the elk hunt lottery by
increasing the ticket price for elk hunts by $10. Last year the Trust reduced the number of
lottery tickets an individual could purchase to one ticket per hunt to ensure fairness and
equity for public land hunters. The new policy of ?one tag, one chance? attracted over 1,000
new hunters but resulted in a 42% decline in revenue from the previous year?s hunt.
The Board decided to retain the ?one tag, one chance? policy but voted to raise ticket prices
by $10 to address the revenue shortfall. The lottery ticket prices for 2015 will be $35 for a
bull hunt and $20 for antlerless hunts.
The Board expects that improved marketing of the ?one tag, one chance? policy will attract
more applicants to put in for a chance to experience one of the best hunting opportunities
in New Mexico."
