Section 19.31.13.8 - ADJUSTMENT OF LICENSES

The director, with the verbal concurrence of the chairperson of the New Mexico state game commission or their designee, may adjust the number of licenses for deer up or down by no more than twenty percent of the total licenses available in the GMU to address significant changes in population levels or to address critical department management needs. This adjustment may be applied to any or all of the specific hunt codes for deer. The director may change or cancel all hunts on military lands to accommodate closures on those lands; if changed, the season length and bag limit shall remain the same as assigned on the original hunt code.
