9.31.17.12 BIGHORN SHEEP ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM:
A. The
director of the department shall collect all proceeds generated through 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 direct 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 preservation, restoration,
utilization, and management of bighorn sheep.
B. The state game commission
shall authorize the director of the department to issue not more than four
special bighorn sheep permits in any one license year to take one bighorn sheep
ram per permit. The director shall allow the sale of two permits through
auction to the highest bidders and two permits to persons selected through a
random drawing for the holder of a lottery ticket by the department or by an
incorporated, nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of wild
sheep.
C. Proposals
for auctioning two special bighorn sheep permits and the sale of lottery
tickets to obtain two special bighorn sheep permits through a pair of random
drawings shall be submitted to the director of the department prior to December
30 annually, preceding the license year when the permits may be legally used.
D. The
proposals for auctioning two permits, and for the sale of lottery tickets and
subsequent selection of recipients for two permits through random drawing(s) shall
each contain and identify:
(1) the name of the organization making the request as well as the
names, addresses and telephone numbers of those members of the organization who
are coordinating the proposal;
(2) a
copy of the organization’s articles of incorporation with a letter attesting that
the organization has tax-exempt status. The letter must also affirm that the
proponent agrees to the conditions set forth by the director of the department.
The letter must be signed and dated by the president and secretary-treasurer,
or their equivalents.
E. The director of the
department shall examine all proposals following the close of the application
period. The director may reject any application which does not conform to the
requirements of this section. In selecting a marketing organization, the
director shall consider the qualifications of the organization as a fund
raiser; the proposed fund raising plan; the fee charged by the marketing
organization for promotional and administrative costs, relative to the funds
obtained from auctioning the permit; and the organization’s previous
involvement with wild sheep management and its conservation objectives. The
director may accept any proposals when it is in the best interest of bighorn
sheep to do so.
F. The marketing organization
must agree in writing to the following:
(1) to transfer all proceeds on or before the tenth day of the month
following the auction and drawing for the lottery, and
(2) to provide the department with the names, addresses, and the
physical descriptions of the individuals to whom the special bighorn sheep
permits are issued.
G. The department and the
marketing organization must agree to the arrangements for the deposit of the
proceeds, payment for services rendered, the accounting procedures, and final
audit.
H. Unless his or her hunting
privileges have been revoked pursuant to law, any resident of New Mexico,
nonresident, or alien is eligible to submit a bid for the special bighorn
auction permits or purchase lottery tickets in an attempt to be selected for
the special bighorn lottery permits.
I. The special bighorn sheep
permits issued through auction and lottery may be transferred, through sale,
barter or gift by the successful individuals to only other individuals
qualified to hunt.
J. Special
bighorn sheep permits granted through auction or lottery, as described above,
shall not be considered ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ permits. A person is eligible to submit a bid for the
special bighorn auction and raffle licenses whether or not he or she has
previously held a license to hunt Rocky mountain or desert bighorn sheep in New
Mexico.
K. Holders of the auction licenses
(BHS-1-500) 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 (BHS-1-600) 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.
L. 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.
M. The
hunt dates for BHS-1-500 and BHS-1-600 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.

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 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.
