BIGHORN SHEEP HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES:
Bighorn sheep enhancement program:
A. Program description: The director shall collect all proceeds
generated through the auction and lottery of special bighorn sheep permits, and
such monies shall be deposited in the game protection fund. These monies shall be made available for
expenditure by the department solely for programs and projects to benefit
bighorn sheep and for costs incurred in carrying out these programs. These monies shall be used to augment, and
not replace, monies appropriated from existing funds available to the
department for the conservation, restoration, utilization, and management of
bighorn sheep.
B. Requirements for issuance of special
bighorn sheep licenses:
(1) The
state game commission authorizes the director to issue not more than four
special bighorn sheep licenses in any one license year to take one ram per
license. The director shall allow the
sale of one Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep authorization and one desert bighorn
sheep authorization through auction to the highest bidder, and one Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep authorization and one desert bighorn sheep authorization
to a person selected through a random drawing of a lottery ticket. The drawing will be conducted by the
department or an incorporated, non-profit organization dedicated to the
conservation of bighorn sheep.
(2) Unless
their hunting privileges have been revoked pursuant to law, any person is eligible
to submit a bid for the special bighorn sheep auction authorization or purchase
lottery tickets in an attempt to be selected for the special bighorn sheep
lottery authorization.
(3) The
special bighorn sheep authorizations issued through auction and lottery may be
transferred, through sale, barter or gift by the successful individuals only to
other individuals qualified to hunt.
(4) Special
bighorn sheep licenses granted through auction or lottery, as described above,
shall not be considered ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ licenses.
C. Enhancement hunts: These licenses shall
be valid for any big game sporting arms statewide where hunting is
allowed. The bag limit shall be one ram.
(1) Holders of the auction licenses must declare their exclusive hunt area by June 30 annually to hunt the designated subspecies in one of the open hunt areas. Each holder of the raffle license must declare their exclusive hunt area by July 20 annually to hunt the designated subspecies in one of the open hunt areas not declared by the auction hunter.
(2) The remaining hunt units open to bighorn hunting not declared by the auction or raffle hunter as their exclusive hunt area, may be hunted by either the auction or raffle hunter.
(3) The hunt dates for the auction and raffle licenses shall be 8/1-12/31 annually, except GMU 53 south of NM 38 and east of NM 522 is closed 8/16 to 8/31 annually to all bighorn sheep hunters.

A. The director, with verbal concurrence of the chairperson of the New Mexico state game commission or their designee, may authorize population management hunts for bighorn sheep when justified in writing by department personnel and must be based on biological information or a potential to compromise population viability.
B. The director shall designate the sporting arms, season dates, season lengths, bag limits, hunt boundaries, specific requirements or restrictions, and number of licenses to be issued.
C. In the event that an applicant is not able to hunt on the dates specified, the applicant’s name shall be moved to the bottom of the list and another applicant may be contacted for the hunt.
D. In those instances where a population management hunt is warranted on deeded private lands, the landowner may suggest eligible hunters of their choice by submitting a list of prospective hunters’ names to the department for licensing consideration. No more than one-half of the total number of licenses authorized shall be available to landowner identified hunters. The balance of prospective hunters shall be identified by the department.
E. The director, with verbal concurrence of the chairperson of the New Mexico state game commission or their designee, may deem some ram or either sex population management licenses not once-in-a-lifetime; a person that has held a once-in-a-lifetime ram license(s) is not disqualified from this hunt.
