Irrespective of some of NM's dumbass access rules for their state managed land, I sometimes like very restricted (not completely restricted, mind you) public access. I have several public land spots that are almost completely surrounded by private, with only a long, thin series of qt/qt sections of public land to access it by. It usually involves a lot of walking, but once you're through those oddball public areas, you can have several sections of public land virtually to yourself. I don't mind hiking in the dark to access these types of areas.

Just one more tool in the toolbox to get away from other hunters and into public land critters.
