[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1247264, member: 30902"] No doubt there are some great guys in the profession, I've met a few of them. In the late sixties and seventies there was a real disdain in NM when it came to out of staters coming in to enjoy NM's natural resources. NM's LEO's seemed to see out of state plates as being a target for extracting large amounts of money to help the local economy. My dad was the kind of guy that would move mountains to be sure he wasn't doing anything wrong and had the same warden purposely ruin his antelope hunts whenever possible by sitting off on a hill and waiting until he could see antelope getting "too close" to my dad and he'd come bouncing in, in his truck to pull a license check on him. It was like he just had it in for my dad and so for probably the first ten years he antelope hunted he never took a decent buck. Back then there was only one season we could draw for and that was a 3 day hunt over Memorial Day weekend too so if you couldn't get it done in 3 days you were just done. Most of the western states including NM have realized in the decades sense just how important the dollars spent by out of state hunters are to the State's Economy and how important those dollars have proven to be in funding the state wildlife agencies and their conservation projects, as a result they have become far friendlier and inviting.
