Meeting Date: 3/26/15 Agenda Number: 8

Presenter: Robert Griego Corroborator: Dave Rohrbach

Agenda Title: Proposal to Amend Miscellaneous Permit Fees Including those for Game Fish Propagation and License Vendor Requirements and Restrictions - 19.30.9 NMAC.


The Department will present initial proposals to change the structure for miscellaneous fees including those for captive live fish used for propagation and sale, and will discuss modifying license vendor requirements and restrictions established in 19.30.09 NMAC.


Commission rule 19.30.9 was originally passed more than 20 years ago. The department proposes to repeal this rule and replace it with a new rule 19.30.9 which adjusts some of the fees charged for special use permits to better reflect current administrative costs, and to clarify and update the application and accountability requirements for license vendors in conjunction with the current on-line license sales system.


Program Support Objective 2: That through 2018, management and control of the Department’s financial resources, assets, and procurements complies with applicable laws, regulations, and accounting/procurement standards. Proposed changes to outdated elements of this rule will reflect current requirements and costs.


17-1-14, 17-3-5, 17-3-7, and 17-3-12 NMSA authorize the Commission to establish permits and set fees, and to prescribe the application and accountability requirements for license vendors.


This initiates the process for public involvement and the department will continue to take public comment on any proposed changes through our website. All input will be reviewed and a summary of the results will be provided to the Commission.

6. Suggested Motion

This is a discussion item and no motion is necessary, unless Commission discretion dictates otherwise.

Presenter: Robert Griego Corroborator: None

Agenda Title: Initiation of Tagging and License Validation Requirements for Big Game


The Department will present initial concepts and proposals on big game tagging (19.31.10 NMAC) and harvest reporting (19.30.10 NMAC) to assist in compliance of big game harvest and bag limits.


Since the inception of the on-line licensing system, some sportsmen have expressed concern that a person could take more than their bag limit allows for the same hunt as the Department only requires harvest reporting at a later time. The Department is exploring ways to address these concerns and to reduce confusion and ensure compliance.


Consideration of potential improvements is consistent with a strategy to implement methods by which hunting (and fishing) opportunity and participation might be increased as identified on page 11 of the Department's Strategic Plan for FY 2013-2018 (Conservation Services Program P717, objective 5, strategy 5.1). Consideration of potential improvements is also consistent with a strategy to evaluate and improve efficiency, quality and effectiveness of the Department's administrative processes as identified on page 25 of the Strategic Plan (Program Support P719 objective 1, strategy 1.2.3).


Any changes made would likely require amending Commission rules concerning Manner and Method of Take, and Harvest Reporting. Proposed amendments would be presented at a future Commission meeting.


Public comments received by the Department resulted in the commencement of this process. Any resulting proposals will be published in accordance with statutes and rules, as well as Department procedures. Public input will continue to be taken and summarized by the Department to the Commission during the presentation.

Presenter: Robert Griego Corroborator: None

Agenda Title: Proposal of Administrative Restrictions For A Convicted Felon Taking or Attempting to Take a Game Animal or Bird with a Firearm.


The Department will present initial concepts and proposals on administrative restrictions for convicted felons taking or attempting to take protected wildlife with the use of a firearm.


A person convicted of a felony, who is prohibited from possessing firearms in New Mexico may still hunt using archery equipment, and is eligible to purchase a hunting license for a hunt code in which archery is a legal type of weapon. This includes “any legal sporting arm” hunts. If a felon then uses a firearm to hunt, he or she could be violating New Mexico criminal law. The Department is exploring options to be able to apply administrative restrictions in the event of this type of activity.


Field Operations Program, Objective 1: That through 2018, hunting, trapping and fishing opportunities and off-highway motor vehicle recreation are maintained through public compliance with rules and laws.


Any changes made would likely require amending Commission rules concerning Manner and Method of Take and License Revocation. Proposed amendments would be presented at a future Commission meeting.


This initiates the process for public involvement and the Department will continue to take public comment on these proposed changes on our website. All input will be reviewed and a summary presented to the Commission

Meeting Date: March 26, 2015 Agenda Number: 11

Presenter: Cal Baca Corroborator: Elise Goldstein

Agenda Title: Initiation of Bear and Cougar Rule Development - 19.31.11 NMAC for the 2016-2020 Seasons.


The Department will present initial perspectives on changes to the Bear and Cougar rule (19.31.11 NMAC) based on public comment, harvest data, population status, and other impacts.


The current 4-year Rule expires at the end of the 2015-16 license year, so this rule development is being initiated in advance to meet publishing and rule information booklet deadlines.


The process as presented to the Commission meets the Conservation Services Program Objectives 1 and 2 of the Department’s Strategic Plan: FY 2013 – FY 2018.


None.


The Department will post to its website proposed information on this rule and continue to take public comments which will be summarized during the presentation to the Commission.

6. Suggested Motion

Presenter: Cal Baca Corroborator: Stewart Liley

Agenda Title: Final Proposals on Oryx Management Relating to the Security Badged Hunts


The Department is proposing final amendments for the security badged hunts on White Sands Missile Range found in 19.31.12 (NMAC). The proposal is to change these badged hunts into population management hunts.


A recent court decision requires the Department to vacate the Terk injunction and allows the Department to award oryx hunt licenses to the State’s license quota to include that 10% of these licenses are reserved for the Guide/Outfitter pool; however, the security badged hunts do not allow for commercial guide participation. These oryx hunts were originally designed to manage oryx in highly secure sites when the quota application was not an issue. The Department’s recommendation to resolve this is to eliminate all non-military security badge hunts and use population management hunts as allowed by rule (19.31.12.11 NMAC).


The process as presented to the Commission meets the Conservation Services Program Objective 1 and 2 of the Department’s Strategic Plan: FY 2013 – FY 2018.


This proposal addressed the conflicts in WSMR access rules and 17-3-16 NMSA 1978, 19.31.3.8 NMAC, 19.31.12.9 NMAC, and 19.31.12.13 NMAC


The Department continues to gather public input on this agenda item. This information will be presented to the Commission during the Department’s presentation.

6. Suggested Motion

The Department respectfully suggests the following motion unless Commission discretion indicates a different course of action:

“Move to adopt the proposed changes to 19.31.12.9 and 19.31.12.13 NMAC as presented by the Department and allow the Department to make minor corrections to comply with filing this rule with State Records and Archives.”

Only those sections/subsections with proposed changes are presented below. Highlighted portions of each paragraph contain the specific proposed changes.

19.31.12.9 BARBARY SHEEP, ORYX, AND PERSIAN IBEX LICENSE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS: D. Oryx once-in-a lifetime: It shall be unlawful, beginning April 1, 1993, for anyone to apply for a premier, or, once-in-a-lifetime, oryx license if he or she ever held an “once-in-a-lifetime” license to hunt oryx. Once-in-a-lifetime oryx hunts include all premier or trophy on-range, mobility impaired, and Iraq/Afghanistan veteran hunts. Hunts not once-in-a-lifetime include population management, [WSMR security badged,] broken-horned, youth, and incentive hunts. Anyone may apply for population management, youth, and incentive hunts regardless if they held a license for an once-in-a-lifetime hunt, if they have met the other applicable requirements or restrictions. Those who have held an once-in-a-lifetime oryx hunting license may apply for broken-horned hunts. 19.31.12.13 ORYX HUNTING SEASONS: B. Oryx restricted on-range hunts, shall be as indicated below or as specific dates and hunt areas are determined by the department. The following hunts have restrictions that must be met prior to application. These hunts are not once-in-a-lifetime oryx hunts. [Oryx WSMR security-badged hunts are available only to personnel with official valid security badges, or their guests, in accordance with White Sands missile range provisions and pursuant to 19.31.3.11 NMAC. ] Youth hunters must provide hunter education certificate number on application. [Only military personnel stationed at WSMR can apply for the military only (MO) security badged hunt.]

Agenda Title: Initiation of Migratory Game Bird Rule Development - 19.31.6 NMAC for the 2015 - 2016 Seasons.


The Department will present initial perspectives on changes to the Migratory Game Bird rule (19.31.6 NMAC) based on information from the USFWS and recent survey information. Season selections and bag limits are determined in conjunction with the US Fish and Wildlife Service working through the Central and Pacific Flyway Councils. Proposed amendments focus on:

• Increase in Estancia Valley Sandhill crane harvest to 3/day, 9 in possession. • Require free permit for band-tailed pigeon harvest. • Probable reduction in band-tailed pigeon bag limits from 5 to 2 per day and

decrease in season length from 30 to 14 days. • Adjust regular duck season to end in late January.


This Rule is amended annually to comply with Flyway recommendations and Federal guidelines.


The process as presented to the Commission meets the Conservation Services Program Objectives 1, 2 and 5 of the Department’s Strategic Plan: FY 2013 – FY 2018


None


The Department will post on its website the proposed changes as they are developed working with the Flyway Council. Public input will be summarized for the Commission during the Department’s presentation.

Presenter: Cal Baca Corroborator: Elise Goldstein

Agenda Title: Initiation of Reporting Requirements for Licensed Trappers and Furbearer Hunters - 19.30.10 NMAC for the 2015 – 2016 Seasons.


The Department will present initial proposals to change reporting requirements for Licensed Trappers and Furbearer Hunters established in 19.30.10 (NMAC).


Although similar language previously existed in this rule, the language pertaining to furbearer reporting requirements was inadvertently left out during a subsequent amendment. This proposal corrects this omission and provides reporting language consistent with penalties for not reporting other harvested species.


The process as presented to the Commission meets the Conservation Services Program Objectives 1 and 2 of the Department’s Strategic Plan: FY 2013 – FY 2018.


None.


The Department will post this proposal to its website to continue to gather public comments. This information will be summarized for the Commission during the Department’s presentations.

6. Suggested Motion

Only those sections/subsections with proposed changes are presented below. Highlighted portions of each paragraph contain the specific proposed changes.

19.30.10.8 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN LICENSED OR PERMITTED HUNTERS AND FURBEARER HUNTERS AND TRAPPERS: F. Individuals licensed or permitted to hunt deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, javelina, Barbary sheep, oryx, Persian ibex and turkey or hunt or trap furbearers, who fail to report the results of their hunting or trapping activities by specified deadlines may submit their hunting or trapping report late with payment of a fee specified by the department not to exceed $20 for each late report. Licensed or permitted hunters or trappers who fail to report the results of their hunting or trapping activities prior to the annual specified deadlines for any trapping license, special entry hunt application(s), population management authorization(s) or private land authorization(s), submitted for the following license year, will have their purchase or applications rejected.

Presenter: Cal Baca Corroborator: Stewart Liley

Agenda Title: Review of Management Strategies for Barbary Sheep in Game Management Unit 34 Relating to the Need to Expand the Bighorn Sheep Population.


The Department will present an overview of management strategies in Game Management Unit 34 relating to harvest data, population status and public input on Barbary sheep and discuss the need to expand bighorn sheep in the Sacramento Mountains versus other areas in the state.


The Department presented a proposal to the Commission at the May 23, 2013 meeting (Agenda Item 9) to begin a process to reintroduce desert bighorn sheep to the Sacramento west side escarpment in GMU 34. The Commission amended this rule (19.31.12 NMAC) on August 22, 2013 to facilitate the reduction of the Barbary sheep population prior to this introduction by opening up the west side of GMU 34 to Over-The-Counter Barbary sheep hunting.


This presentation is consistent with several of the Department's strategic objectives including the need to consider and develop appropriate population objectives based on sustainable wildlife management practices, and define issues and factors affecting wildlife populations and implement opportunities where hunting and fishing may increase (New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Strategic Plan 2013-2018 Conservation Services Program Objectives 1, 2, and 5).


None


The Department continues to take public input on this agenda item and will present a summary of these comments to the Commission during its Department presentation.

Presenter: R.J. Kirkpatrick Corroborator: N/A

Agenda Title: Review of Commission Properties Previously Approved For Disposal.


The Department will present a review of Commission properties that were previously approved for disposal because of limited value to wildlife or their habitat.


In the December 2007 meeting, the Commission approved the Department’s recommendations for property disposal. There were 12 properties discussed for potential action and the Commission unanimously voted to “to direct the Department staff to execute necessary actions to obtain legislative approval or other appropriate approval to dispose of Game Commission properties identified as no longer meeting objectives for habitat restoration and management, wildlife populations, or wildlife-associated recreation.” At a subsequent State Game Commission meeting held on December 13, 2012, in Lordsburg, New Mexico, the Commission reaffirmed the previous approval to dispose of the 12 properties as well as four additional ones. Since the December 2012 approval the Department has had numerous conversations with State Parks, the BLM and the State Land Office regarding prospective property land trades. The Warehouse property in Santa Fe has been leased to the State Forestry Division of Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources to house their Veteran Firefighter Program. The Department is in the process of contracting legal services to work with the Valencia Soil and Water Conservation District in finalizing the separation of ownership of the Rio Abajo property south of Belen, as approved by the Commission at the October 2, 2014 Commission meeting. Additionally, contracted legal services will include realtors to list for sale several of the smaller properties.


The process as presented to the Commission meets the Conservation Services Program Objectives 1,2 and 3 of the Department’s Strategic Plan; FY 2013 – FY 2018.


None.


The initial list of proposed disposal properties was available for public view prior to, and during, the December 2007, Commission meeting. This list, with the additional four properties, was again made available for public review and comment prior to, and

Agenda Title: Unstaffed Shooting Ranges


Many state wildlife agencies own and operate shooting ranges that are unstaffed. These ranges are open to the public for recreational target shooting and sighting-in hunting rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and pistols. Dr. Bennett will present the benefits for having such ranges in New Mexico and share his experience in range logistics and development.


Objective 2.1.3 of the Field Operation Program portion of the Strategic Plan is to “Provide skills-based and wildlife conservation educational programs throughout the State” and Objective 9.1.2 of the Conservation Services Program portion of the Strategic Plan is to "Evaluate properties for use as shooting ranges, hunter education, hunting areas and sites for Department programs". This request is consistent with these strateies and objectives.


None.


This agenda item allows the public to provide input to the Commission on the shooting ranges. Any input received will be summarized for the Commission during the Department’s presentation.

The suit, Quintana v. Barney involves property which includes a perpetual right-of-way and easement that provides access to Morphy Lake. The Department provides public fishing and assists with management and harvest of fish at the lake. While the Department is the named party, it is the Commission’s property in dispute. The suit is currently set for trial in May of this year, and a settlement or other legal documents may be proposed and may require Commission approval.


The Commission holds a perpetual right-of-way and easement that provides access to Morphy Lake where the Department provides public fishing and assists with management and harvest of fish. The quiet title suit pending in Court involves property that includes the perpetual right-of-way and easement. The matter commenced in Court on January 24, 2012.
