[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2494185, member: 29323"] Here in NM the cattlemen usually run the G&F commission. Landowners get tags based on their acreage and game use. My understanding is that they sell those tags to outfitters for around $5,000. The outfitter adds another $5,000 or so to that. I last drew an antelope tag in 1990. I don't want the competition with out of state hunters. Getting drawn for cow elk has gotten better since it became residents only. I want my grandkids to learn to hunt. That doesn't happen if they can't get drawn here in the state. Where I hunt, deer populations have declined steadily for the past 30 years, due to limits on bear and cougar licenses and fees of $43 and $47. The good old days of deer hunting were when ranchers poisoned coyotes. One year I saw 10 bears and two bucks. That's when I started hunting bears. Turns out, bear meat can be delicious. Now we have the Mexican gray wolf here, and things are even worse. I used to get a deer every year, and now I'm about 1 in 10. Why are wolves a protected species if they're all over Mexico? When Rick Perry was running for President and was asked which Fed Dept's. he would like to eliminate, he got tongue tied. My answer would have been "So many choices." [/QUOTE]
