NM Elk :Landowner tags...que pasa?
Joseph L Lunenschloss
(IF you've already seen this, please forgive me...I posted it a couple
of days ago, and I haven't yet seen it appear)
Each year about now we get a few articles about landowner tags in New
Mexico. I thought these were permits issued to landowners, (but
transferable), for the purpose of game management on their respective
properties.
Now I see a post from someone who was drawn for a license already, but
is looking for a landowner tag. I guess I thought the tag was
tantamount to a license, but in a specific area. Anyone wish to clue
me in on what exactly is a "landowner tag"? Why would someone need
both to hunt elk in NM?

Joe,
I New Mexico the dept. of Game and Fish give Permits to the land owners
that have allowed public hunters to hunt on their land. The Permits are
the same as the license to hunt. But, the land owner can sell the
permits for what ever they can get for them and then the hunter must
also pay the license fee to the NM Game & Fish. . The cost of the
permits depends on the game hunted, location of the hunt. Most of the
private permits for the quality hunts are spoken for well in advance by
outfitters and brokers, or the land owners are outfitting. If the land
owner is outfitting and charging you for this service they must be
registered with the NM Game & Fish this year.
This is simplified answer but you get the point. You pay the landowner
once for the permit and the state for the license.
If you need more information or have any questions on this you can call
me at 505-345-9301, or e-mail at sve...@swcp.com. I provide a
brokerage service for just this purpose.
