Of course, this is through the draws and tags allocated as such. I saw a chart one year visually showing the impact and it was amazing what nonresidents contribute overall.

Only the split of where it comes from. I also feel that when residents get their way, and achieve price increases for non-residents, this only compounds the scenario. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohntr6 Report post Posted May 12 I use to draw New Mexico every other year for deer but the last 4 years have been solid red for the 5 species I put in for. Maybe we will get a deer tag here. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
