When my podiatrist made custom orthotics for my feet he had me laying down to create the mold. I asked him about the sheep feet and how they have you stand in the mold, he said that isn’t the right way to do it. I also asked about cushion since these seem to be fairly hard. He said that...
What’s their end goal here? Shut it down to everyone for 2 yrs then open it only to subsistence users after that time, close it permanently to everyone?
What’s the angle of this FSB on this? They closed it to all users, so subsistence hunters too. Will they look to reopen it someday only to subsistence users? Anyone know the outfitters who were affected?
Actually the numbers speak for themselves. Top point holders have 27. You could draw tags as a NR in the PP pool this year with 22. In the R drawing there was a unit that only took only 14, but most took 18+. It isn’t like you need 27 or nothing unless you are fixated on a historically “top” unit.
Why shouldn’t the incumbents get some preferential treatment, especially since the system has been that way for 27 yrs? After all, the newcomers will be in their shoes at some point and the old timers will be fertilizer. You don’t stay young forever and at some point you draw, quit, or die. I’m...
You’re embellishing numbers and not being accurate.
-There are random tags, and a 14yr old could draw one of those. So the “no citizen under the age of 55” is totally false. If you were 14 when you started you would be 41 today, but 55 sounds better.
-“Reasonable chance”…what is that in the...
I just use the term “fair” as the dictionary defines it - in accordance with the rules or standards. The rules and standards have been established and have been in place for 27 years. The numbers in the NR category are 6 random and 39 preference BTW. Your earlier post describes no chance with 0...
You speak of fairness in one breath then essentially disregard the sportsmen who have applied for 15, 20, 27 years under a system that has not changed. How is that fair to them?
There are already random tags, and you can draw a tag with 0 points, which is essentially what you have if you don’t...
I must not be the only crazy one.
“An overwhelming 70% of the public response generated over the past month was in favor of the Dept.’s current allocation process of lumping hunt codes and thus maintaining non-resident opportunity (406 in favor and 187 in opposition).”
“If there are still only four commissioners in place at the August meeting, all four would have to vote in favor to adopt any new rule. Salazar-Henry’s opposition to the bighorn plan that New Mexico Department of Game and Fish staff recommended would be enough to block it. The commission needs...
I’m at a loss regarding how the G&F is in violation of state statute. They lumped all the tags into a few hunt codes in order to remain compliant with the statute. Some individuals and one “conservation” organization don’t approve of how that was done, but one could easily argue the G&F is very...
If I had to pick an organization to stand behind and my choices were the NM Wildlife Federation and the Wild Sheep Foundation, the WSF would get my time, money, and effort every single time. I’ve seen the NMWF stand behind some garbage legislation. But, maybe I’m the crazy one.
