New mexico cow hunt no more

[338 LEGEND]

I drew a cow tag in new mexico this year and had a great hunt, my friend and brother and me all three shot cows. After the packout was over we talked to a game ranger and was told next year there would be no cow tags in the draw for non-resident hunters. Does anyone know of a land owner that offers cow tags ? HELP PLEASE.

Yes, New Mexico will make life a LOT tougher on non-residents starting in 2012. Total quota down to 16% from 22%, got to buy a non-refundable Game-hunting License to participate in the draw, etc.

The people at Huntin' Fool probably have access to the largest pool of landowner tags that I know of, but you have to be a member, $100.00 per year.

I believe that I read that you can choose the option to have a refundable hunting license and if you don't draw then you can have the huntIng license money refunded to you. I will post the paragraph on here later.

I stand corrected, Paragraph 7, page 4 of the above referenced link.

Thanks

Haha.. That was about the ONLY nice thing they did for non residents though.

Vermejo Park Ranch for cow tags. 588,000 private acres that Ray Charles could shoot an elk on.
