Yes, they are considered an exotic. They escaped out of a high fence there in Mt. Taylor. (Water Canyon). The Lagunas own the fence now. All you have to hunt them is a small game liscence, or any big game liscence for NM. Like I said, I have hunted them all over that mt, and have yet to see them. Have heard of many being seen, and several being killed. But have yet to lay eyes on them.
