I am aware of land locked public land. I spoke to a NM game and fish officer about this issue today. His understanding of the NM state law is that if the property is leased, not BLM mind you, that the person that leases the property can lock it even if bordered by a county road. But, during hunting season a legal hunter can hunt this state public land. State lands that are land locked, not accessible via a public road can be off limits. A legal hunter cannot access these land locked areas, without permission, by way of a private road. The hunter must have permission to access this public state land, to cross private land, by the private land owner. MTG
