Ok that comment highlights what you don’t get. Yes it does benefit resident hunters. But it harms nonresident hunters! And I’m an American. I have a right to hunt in any state. So it definitely interests and affects me. And you just admitted that you don’t care if it hurts your odds as long...
saying who knows who is going to get those tags is extremely dishonest. out of the guided draw and NR draw you have a total of roughly 15%-15.5% of the tags going to NR hunters
what part of 15% being pushed into 10% do you not get? Seriously. I’m completely flabbergasted. does your brain...
The fact is that the lions share of wildlife funding for state agencies comes from NR hunters. And local communities benefit from robust NR hunter actuvity. This is the commercialization. if NR hunters disappeared on public land it would devastate many small western towns. This reduction in...
decommercialize hunting? commercialization is the north american model. We pay the state for tags and licenses. Wildlife is managed with funds raised by hunters. This bill absolutely is about me and any other non resident hunter who wants to come to NM to hunt on their own NM residents...
uh you need to check with reality. Gunning down large amounts of big game?? lol. last time i checked we’re talking about NM. A state that people are dying to get elk tags in. Sooooo if what you’re saying is true then uh, why are people lining up to hunt it??? Why do they have famously large...
if you don’t think those groups mentioned have an end goal of destroying hunting entirely then you are deluded. If they’re for it you need to really scratch your head and figure out why and question why you support anything that those groups support
it DOES the OPPOSITE of helping DIY guys. Your chance of getting a tag is going WAY down. those 6% of guided hunters are 99% NR applicants. they’re going to cut the NR DIY hunters odds in half. Are you so worried about sticking it to a “rich guy” that you don’t care that anybody, myself...
Anyone who thinks that taking 6% of the tags and giving them to residents is going to “Help DIY guys” needs tu consider the following. It’s going to destroy already low draw odds for NR hunters It’s going to push those largely out of state hunters into the 10% of tags set aside. it’s going to...
well I think what the 6% guided pool draw in NM does is provide an outlet for people who say “what the hell. I can’t draw this damn tag i really want. I’ve been trying for a long time and bleep it i’m putting in for the guided draw on this tag bc I’m getting older and i’ve saved some money and...
thanks for that. i may still give it a try. It seems that wherever i hunt outside of northern new england my definition of bad hunting is usually a LOT worse hunting than the locals definition of bad hunting
hi, i’m from maine and i hunt montana every year and this will be my second year doing colorado too. i’m looking for a new place to hunt northern whitetail bc maine is just down right now. I have always wanted to hunt the porcupine mountains I’m thinking about trying late ML this december...
