NEW MEXICO WINS

Thank you all for the help and support hb 366 officialy died new mexico trappers thanks to all the calls emails and our leadership has won

Ttt please

I plan on calling but it won't be tonight

Explain what is going on. Are there current anti-trapping bills being proposed and what are they?

http://www.santafenewmexican.com/ne...0569fc7-5350-5c3d-92b6-709357fdf993.html

God ! The comments ! I hate people

Old saw goes like this . . . It's not how many dogs are killed each year in traps, it's whose dog gets killed.

All those whizzin' and moaning about Wisconsin having to enclose #220s and run cable restraints instead of snares, watch this very closely. Read and heed.

“My main reason,” he said, “is that I hope whoever set these traps learns what happened. ”Clark, a retired mine regulator, said Wednesday he realizes the proposal named for his dog would not have saved Roxy’s life. She was killed in November at a recreation area of the federal Bureau of Land Management that already is off-limits to trappers.

So, these traps were set illegally according to current law and restrictions. The man behind this new bill really just wants revenge on the person responsible for his dogs death. Admitting this new bill would not have saved the dog, or any other animal caught by the already illegal traps. Here is where an unbiased media could call BS on this completely inane, arbitrary, and ineffective bill. I’ll be calling.

To the top please

Yep even if you don't live in NM. As a Trapper make the Call for other Trappers.

ttt

The apathy astounds me. Everyone is too busy aurguing over the teachers in loony land or any number of dumb things that divide us! It's a shame! Trappers will always let a few do the work for many! TTT

Back up to the top. This is important

Paul dobnins can ypu post this to the top?

What Im hearing aint good. Make the calls.

I thought of this after reading the comments in the news link and then read the story about the Florida city needing coyotes trapped. I DO NOT want this to go through and called up there today , but ,if it does i hope pets disappear like the rapture just took place . Own it .

NM allows nonresident trapping under the same rules as residents. The only difference is license cost and where cats must be tagged. Losing NM will be like when we lost CO. A loss for every trapper nation wide.

I'll shoot out some e-mails this evening. This was an illegally set trap right? Want to know so I can word my e-mails properly. Example letters/e-mails would be appreciated.

It was an ilkegal set trap.yes but it realy dont add up

First off why would you set on a well worn hiking trail? Secondly why take the risk of catching a dog? On public land that is. Is it that appealing? The bill is pretty petty all that needed to be done was set a watchfor the trapper. He would have come around.especially if you left the bobcat there.oh well.

made my calls .any body that knows any ranchers in NM needs to notify them . No real rancher wants this law

We have a hard fight coming this session. The NMTA, Cattle Growers, Farm Bureau and others are fighting along side of us. I expect an anti trapping bill to be introduced next week. We have the FTA,NTA and Sportsmens Alliance on board also. All phone calls and emails are greatly appreciated when this bill comes

Billboards and other advertisements for banning trapping are going up according to local news.
The advertisements are donated by one anti group and show another anti group on the advertisements. That why I didn't post a link or pics

Man, that’s to bad for the guy who lost his dog. Sure wish people wouldn’t set traps where the public spend time.

K9 NM is mainly public land. The traps were illegally set.

I get it, and understand that there are two types of public land. Public land that the public uses and public land that trappers/hunters use. Too bad these laws don’t know the difference and if passed will make a lot of land inaccessible to trappers.

K9man, no disrespect but the public land here is one in the same. It's the hunters trappers and anglers that fund the
Maintenance and improvements to said land. Yet everyone else thinks it's theirs and their little dogs too. Several large cities and numerous towns are within 30 minutes of said land. The thinking of separation of lands to strictly hunters and trappers is the kind of thinking california Arizona and Colorado have implemented.

I've lived in Albuquerque most of my life which has NF mountains that butt up against the city's east side. Yet most people in Albuquerque don't think hunting and trapping occur there. Yet every year hunters & trappers are harassed there, dogs off leash blow hunts and hundreds of people are using the nf throughout the week yet don't pay a cent. The same can be said with numerous other nf lands throughout the state.

Those comments on that page are so inacurate. This one guy said that trapping has been banned in California...I mean it might as well be banned considering we can only use rat traps and cage traps for commerce in fur, but come on!

I called every one of them and left messages. I brought home another dog this year that witnesses said was dumped along with 2 others several days before. he is now part of my family. this makes the 11th I have brought home and found new homes.

They way I interpret the bill is no trapping at all on public land including cages unless done by a government agency or contracted person

From the parts I watched I was impressed with the trappers there even women and young girls represented trapping. Thank you all.
The anti's kept repeating this is barbaric and archaic and had several wildlife biologists in support.

My understanding is the battle continues saturday. I could be wrong. For those that were there or streamed please correct me if I am wrong.

Vote was supposed to be Sat. that has changed now it will be Tues ,I think all this is Very fluid subject to the whim of the chairman who also is the sponsor. To those who have been active on this THANKS, please stay with us! The bill passed out of committee.

Thanks for the update Tom. Do you have a list of those we can email before?

I'am not sure what committee this will wind up in, the bill is amended , I don't know what the version looks like. If this passes into law the cage trap will be it for people losing animals to coyotes,cougars ad infinium ,ad nauseum !

Oh Joy

Just want to take some time to express thanks to everyone who showed up to the legislature to voice their opposition to the anti-trapping bill. Also some recognition for the board of the NMTA: thank you for your efforts to keep trapping a part of our heritage.

Game&Fish caught the guy who was trapping on BLM where it isn't allowed, who snared the dog that HB 366 has been named for. Bill is in Judiciary Committee, be there for the hearing!

Urgent!! Contact members of both committees!! (please send emails to one committee at a time)

Trapping is endanger in New Mexico!!

Contact the following legislators and STRONGLY OPPOSE HB366 (anti-trapping)! When emailing type “Opposed to HB366” in the Subject line. Please be respectful when contacting legislators.

SB417 State Game Commission Purpose & Species (Anti-Hunting Bill)

If passed, this bill will give the State Game Commission the authority to protect all species of wildlife including non-game species. The Commission will have the ability to make any and all changes to trapping and hunting regulations, bypassing the legislative process. The bill would give the appointed board the power of our legislature with no oversight. In short the anti-movement individuals are attempting to create a back door to ending our ability to hunt, trap and fish.

I sent my emails, here is what I said if it helps anyone with a start on theirs:

"Please do NOT allow HB 366 to pass. Public land is for EVERYBODY and banning regulated trapping on public land will not only take income from families, but the results of removing trapping from the environment has devastating results on wildlife through overpopulation, disease, and millions of dollars lost to attacks on livestock. Please consider other states who are having issues with these problems, such as Colorado, who banned trapping in 1996 and now their government has to spend millions to clean up the mess it has caused. This bill was created and pushed by animal rights activists who are fueled by emotion rather than science, and once they take away trapping, they will also take away hunting and many other revenue generating sports that should be allowed on public land. The facts are, modern day traps are humane, and regulated trapping is necessary for a healthy ecosystem. Thank you for your time."

Praying for you guys in NM, as a public land trapper in WI myself, I can't believe how scary it must be to think of trapping being taken away. Please keep us updated!

Any more updates? I continue to call and email, wish I was closer.

Keep calling and emailing its still on the h9use floor thats all i know currently please do not let up

Emails sent.
...Praying they listen and do the right thing.

Travis , Please hear me out on this , The Uprising Must Be from within The State of New Mexico First (1st) for The New Mexico State Legislature and State Senate To REALLY LISTEN (I MEAN REALLY LISTEN) , Then Of Course Surrounding States throughout America Can come ALL together and Support The State of New Mexico Resident TRAPPERS . The State of New Mexico State Legislature and State Senate and Governor WANT TO HEAR FROM New Mexico Residents , they Live and Breath and Sleep there EVEYDAY and they WILL LISTEN TO YOU FOLKS , 95%+ MORE .

In this Era of time 2019 that is the way MOST States Operate .

Ask Wayne , There was an Era long ago when The States would take Consideration More from Out-of State folks about Home State Permanent Laws being Enacted and Passed and Sealed by The Governor , But Times has Changed Drastically ,and although Trapping , Hunting , Fishing Is For The People of The States , The Home State Folks Rule The Roost , Especially in 2019 Era .

I Believe I can speak for ALL PEOPLE ON THIS SITE "WE ALL OPPOSE" ALL BILLS AND ALL & "ANY" THREATS TO TRAPPING (110%+) and , HUNTING AND FISHING AND all Outdoor Sports .

Of Course We ALL CAN Phone and E:mail ALL Committee Members of the State of New Mexico Legislature and Senate and Governor , but it Is My Honest Opinion in 2019 , If these phone calls and E:mails are Not coming from Within The State of New Mexico , ALL of them attempts may just be Filtered , ALL OF THEM , (EVERYTHING) As Spam or Robo Calls . Just My 10 cents buddy . God Bless The Trappers Of The State of New Mexico .

We (nonresidents) may not have the influence of those within the state, but every little bit helps. I received replies to some of my emails, so they're obviously not all getting filtered. Some may have been auto-email replies but others were not and they thanked me for my input.

EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE helps, right now the bill is being held in the house , the session ends Sat. the 16 of March, the bill is not dead till then.-----It's a good time to be a trapper!!!

We BEAT them!!! Thanks again to everyone. Session is over today at 12 noon!!

That is good news indeed!!!!!!

Great news indeed.
The question remains how and where to celebrate

Fantastic news!

I would like to thank everyone spoke up and helped to defend New Mexico's freedom to trap. It makes a big difference when we are united for a cause. Some may think "I am just one person, they will not listen to me," but it can and does make a difference. Win or lose each and every one of us is important. Once again thank you for helping and a special thanks to Joe Luna and the New Mexico Trappers Association.

Great news and good work. Stay vigilant, they'll be back.

Not that anybody cares but California will lose all the rest of their trapping as well as become a fur free state with a total ban on the sale of any fur garments by the close of this legislative session.

I just don't see anything stopping it here.

Congratulations New Mexico!

Congratulations this is fantastic news for NM

Nice! Big win for NM and trappers everywhere

Victory! Yahooo!

Good News Congrats.

Congrats to New Mexico. Mercer, it is not that no one cares for California. It is a great and beautiful state with millions of fine people. However, the good, common sense folks, people who are very like those who built California now are a minority and have about no voice and the rest of the people of California scare the daylights out of most of us for fear that is what might happen to us as well. I surely wish you all the best but see no method of being of assistance beyond that well wish.
