2006 New Mexico Statutes - 17-3-15 — Additional deer license.

17-3-15. Additional deer license.

A.     It is a misdemeanor for any person to procure or use more than one license to hunt big game in one year, except as provided in this section, or to use any tag after it has been used once.   

B.     For the purpose of effectuating better game management and control, the state game commission may by regulation authorize the sale of not more than one additional deer license each year to any person holding a license which entitled him to hunt deer during that year. A fee of not more than five dollars ($5.00) for residents and not more than fifty dollars ($50.00) for nonresidents shall be collected for each additional deer license.   

C.     It is a misdemeanor for any person to take or attempt to take a deer with an additional deer license unless he has the additional deer license and the other license which entitled him to hunt deer for that year in his possession. Possession of an additional deer license without the other license which entitled him to hunt deer for that year is prima facie evidence of violation of this section.
