Heads up new Mexico as many of you know Colo defeated about initiative 127 which would outlaw hunting lions and bobcats in Colorado with dogs and traps I just read on their Facebook page that they're coming after New Mexico next so heads up

No surprise, but thx for the heads up. Unfortunately, here I believe hunters are too disorganized to fight...

If you seriously want to defeat lion hunting ban in NM take a look at the impacts lions had on desert sheep in NM. The desert sheep population in NM was almost exterminated and lions were the main blame. Once lion hunting was re-instated the desert sheep population increased to the point that desert sheep were then de-listed.

Conclusions

NMDGF documented high lion predation rates on state listed endangered bighorn. All New Mexico bighorn populations are considered below carrying capacity and therefore the removal effort to mitigate lion predation was deemed necessary to reduce the risk of extinction of this faunal component in the desert mountain ranges of New Mexico. Small populations of wild ungulates are more vulnerable to the impacts of predation (Compton et al. 1995, Rominger and Weisenberger 2000, Wittmer et al. 2005).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, OCT. 10, 2013:

FIRST NEW MEXICAN HARVESTS DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP SINCE DELISTING HACHITA – Glenn Fuller of Farmington became the first New Mexico resident to draw for and successfully hunt a desert bighorn sheep since the species was removed from the state’s threatened and endangered species list in 2011. New Mexico made history when the species was restored by conservation efforts spearheaded by the Department and funded by hunters. The population rebounded from fewer than 70 in 1980 to approximately 750 in 2012. Restoration has been made possible by multiple bighorn sheep transplant operations and by managing mountain lion populations. Mountain lions aggressively prey on bighorn sheep. “This is a conservation success story,” said Cal Baca, the Department’s Wildlife Management Division chief. “This is what the North American Model for Wildlife Conservation was designed to do, where money from hunters is being used to fund successful desert bighorn sheep restoration.”
