BMG, Thanks for the heads up on the new regs. I just got off the phone with New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. I needed some clarification.
Online Application for Elk
1- Must apply by April 7 2010, 5PM their time
2- Your card will be charged $27 app fee when
You apply.
3- The remaining license fee won't be charged to your card for 2 to 3 days after the April 7th deadline even if you apply before that deadline.
4- The drawing date is June 9th but the results will not be posted until the 23rd.
5- Refund checks should be paid before July 1st (Less than 3 months holding money) to unsuccessful applicants(not the $27 app fee).
Interesting note.......I drew a high demand tag last year and would not be eligible to apply for it this year according to last years regs. This has been waived and I can apply and draw the same tag
