Yeah.
But still, it is, relatively speaking, it is hard for New Mexicans to draw elk tags.
And allocation of tags in New Mexico...
would probably shock most people who are familiar with how this works in other states.
Every Western state has landowner and outfitter tags, and it's weighed against public opportunity.
But in New Mexico, it's something like 60% to 70% of tags go to the general public, and about 30% are private.
Whereas in most states they reserve more than 90% for your, just any person applying to hunt.
Um, it's, so it's 10 times the norm.
It's, it depends by species in terms of antelope tags, New Mexico, almost 65% of them are, are just privately distributed.
Yeah.
Um, 16% of all bighorn sheep tags are privately distributed.
Right.
So, so the, the private tags, what we're calling private tags here divided between a mandated outfitter set aside.
And then the private landowner tag system, uh, the private landowner tag system accounts for the majority of those.
I think it's like eight to one, something like that of these private tags.
And they can sell or trade them on the open market, ostensibly the reason being to help offset the financial costs of managing wildlife.
The other thing that's sort of unique to New Mexico is in most states where there are landowner tags, there are requirements for allowing public access to private lands.
New Mexico does not do this.
It's just cutting off a big old chunk of the public resource and sliding it across the table.
Yep.
