2021 NM Legislative Recap

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Joel Gay

It was a tough year in the Legislature this session for public land sportsmen and women, but one bill alone accounted for most of the setbacks.

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Montana BHA

Additionally, the bill would have given five bonus points to those with private land access who agreed to hunt cow elk. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Galt and was heavily amended in committee yesterday before it was tabled, thankfully. While the amendments made the bill less ...
