COMMISSION'S ANTELOPE DECISION BEING REVISITED

The antelope hunt strategy for 2011 and A-PLUS, New Mexico’s system of allocating private-land antelope licenses, will be adopted Dec. 9, during a meeting of the State Game Commission in Clovis.

During its Oct. 28 meeting in Ruidoso, the Commission initially adopted a rule changing the way the state allocates private-land antelope licenses, but then voted to set the original motion aside and to reconsider the issue at the next meeting.

An equitable distribution of antelope licenses in New Mexico is contentious because much of the state’s antelope habitat is private land, but wildlife is a resource held in trust for the public.
