Guys , when the trapping ban came out, was that on state lands or did that include federal lands as well?
I don’t remember.

I know that the Lincoln National Forest, for example, delegates hunting authority to the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish according to state regulations, which state that trapping is banned on public lands.

State and federal.

Nothing good comes from democrats!

My additional question would be,, how can a state dictate what happens on federal property??

Been dictating for years. MN MT AZ CO NV and now NM

State sovereignty.

PS, if you're a member of an Indian tribe you can still trap public property in NM

Iam a member of the blue eyed devils tribe! NO ONE can ask you what your heritage is! NO ONE!

Feel free to test that out.

LOL

Because the states have the right to manage wildlife for the benefit of it's residents regardless of fed or private land.
Been settled in court and we have a law that states so.
