So the two questions that the lawmakers specifically raised had to do with mandatory outfitter licenses under a set percentage.
And one of the reasons that this is sort of politically, I guess like one of the reasons that a New Mexico lawmaker might question that
to make political hay is that 90% of those outfitter tags are going to non-residents.
Got it.
It's out-of-state money buying these tags instead of these tags going to the people of New Mexico who own the wildlife.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That is a very compelling legal argument.
And so they say their quote in the letter is, we know of no other state, this is in reference to outfitter licenses, we know of no other state that confers such a benefit, ultimately creating a system where those with the greatest wealth from across the country
have a better chance of hunting New Mexico's public lands than average New Mexicans.
Wow, they're taking a populist angle.
Yeah, and specifically, something to note here, they're talking about outfitter tags, not landowner tags.
Sure.
Which, if you're talking about creating more opportunity for New Mexicans to hunt big game animals, you'd take aim at those landowner tags because there are way more landowner tags than outfitter tags.
Sure, yeah.
Here we have a case of lawmakers kind of standing up for democratic allocation of wildlife.
So I don't wanna poo-poo it, but on the other hand,
There's bigger fish to fry if you want to see more New Mexicans enjoying that opportunity.
I don't know how I missed that.
