FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, Â JULY 16, 2014:
HUNTING LICENSES STILL AVAILABLE FOR ELK, DEER AND JAVELINA
Â
SANTA FE – The 2014-2015 hunting season is fast approaching, and hunters still have the opportunity to buy a hunting license in New Mexico.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish still has more than 1,000 deer hunting licenses and nearly 500 javelina licenses for sale that were leftover from the annual hunt drawing. More than 1,000 youth encouragement hunting licenses for antlerless elk are also still available. Licenses will be sold online only on a first-come, first-served basis.
Many of the leftover deer and javelina licenses are for muzzleloader or archery hunts, but there are a few youth only rifle hunts. The sale is open to everyone, regardless of residency.Â
The youth encouragement elk license sale is open only to eligible New Mexico youths who successfully applied but did not draw a deer, elk, pronghorn, ibex, oryx or bighorn sheep license this year. Beginning at 10 a.m. July 23, the sale will open to all eligible youths, regardless of residency and whether they applied for the draw or not. Hunters must be younger than 18 years of age on opening day of the hunt to be eligible.
To purchase a license, customers will need to log in to their Online License System account at https://onlinesales.wildlife.state.nm.us.
