Alpinecrick. As I remember the litigation against the NM DOW was aimed at the practice of the ranchers with outfitters being permitted to have elk season all fall long while the regular hunter had two weeks. (Chama Land and Cattle Company was one of them). This is about what CPW is doing with RFW program except making ranches give a few tags to the open public. Few is being generous to say the least. All under the idea that those ranches are practicing good conservation techniques for the wildlife .Don't even get me started on the vouchers given to ranchers under the pretense of crop damage etc,and the the rancher sells those vouchers for a tidy sum.
Kennyd in the preceding post has it figured out
