Name & fee change coming to NM

[noharleyyet]

Much ado about highest bidder premium hunts regardless of residency....less commodity/mo-money

To hunt on the local National Wildlife Refuge hunters pay a $10.00 fee. Bird watchers and hikers pay NOTHING.

Looks like this bill is pretty close to passing the legislature. I raised my concern with hunters and anglers only holding one seat. Seems the NM wildlife orgs aren’t terribly concerned. Pretty dangerous precedent going forward considering what happened in WA and what’s happening CO. Wildlife For All is headquartered in NM, they will dictate those appointments, no doubt. Could pack the commission with anti-hunting activists to push their agenda.

Disclaimer: Not a NM resident, just a concerned individual who hunts there regularly.
