19.31.15.10 SPECIAL
PRONGHORN HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES
A. Pronghorn conservation recognition program: Private landowners who are conducting and
maintaining substantial habitat improvements and/or land management practices
on their deeded lands that directly and significantly benefit pronghorn may be
considered for special recognition. Only those projects as determined by the
department to be relevant and beneficial to pronghorn will be considered.
Landowners must submit an application and once
approved, develop a pronghorn conservation and management plan in cooperation
with the department. Upon approval of the plan the landowner may be granted
alternative season dates as approved by the department. Landowners receiving
special recognition are required to submit an update as directed by the
department to be considered for continued participation. The hunt code for any
unique hunt season approved pursuant to this program shall be ANT-1-600.
B. Ranch-wide agreements: Properties consisting of deeded and leased
public lands deemed by the department to have pronghorn hunting opportunities
may enter into an agreement with the department to create a pronghorn hunting
ranch. The boundaries would include both the deeded and leased public lands.
The department will negotiate with the landowner the number of private licenses
to be issued to landowners with ranch-wide agreements. These private licenses
shall have access to the deeded and leased public land within the hunting ranch
boundary during the respective pronghorn hunt. The landowner shall allow access
to the deeded and leased public land to all legally licensed public draw
hunters pursuant to Subsection A of Section 19.31.15.11 NMAC for the respective
game management unit. Any ranch entered into such an agreement shall be issued one
authorization valid for a free pronghorn license pursuant to 17-3-14 NMSA 1978.

B. Private
land-only pronghorn hunts: Private
land-only pronghorn licenses shall be restricted to the hunt dates, eligibility
requirements or restrictions, sporting arms type, and bag limit that
corresponds to the draw hunt code listed in Subsection A of Section 19.31.15.11
NMAC for the GMU where the private landowner’s property lies. Private land-only
pronghorn licenses shall be unlimited, except the any legal sporting arms hunt
in GMUs 4, 50 and 52 shall be limited to 15 licenses, or as otherwise provided
in 19.31.15.8 NMAC, and available from any license vendor and the department’s
web site. These licenses are not valid for ranch-wide agreement properties as
described in Subsection B of Section 19.31.15.10 NMAC. Private land-only
pronghorn licenses are valid only on deeded private property where the licensee
has written permission to hunt, and within the GMU or area allowed by hunt
code, except ranch-wide agreement properties.
Private land-only pronghorn licenses are not restricted to only one
ranch or property. In those GMUs where there is no pronghorn draw hunt (GMUs 4,
14, 46, 48, 54, and 55), hunt dates, eligibility requirements or restrictions,
sporting arms type, and bag limit will be:
