2007 New Mexico Lt. Governor’s
Statewide Mule Deer Lottery License

For the fourth year in a row the Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) is assisting the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish with the auction and raffle of the New Mexico Lt. Governor’s Deer Enhancement Licenses. We recently conducted the auction for a license at our annual convention in Salt Lake City, UT where the license brought $50,000.

The Riudoso, NM chapter of MDF is assisting with the raffle of a license. Raffle tickets cost $20 each. The drawing for the lucky winner will take place at the Game and Fish Commission meeting in July. Now it is your chance to get one of these special licenses for as little as $20. The more you buy the better the chances of winning.

Proceeds from the auction and raffle will be used for deer management and propagation in New Mexico. The licenses will be authorized for use from September 1 through January 31 with any legal sporting arm. These licenses will be valid statewide only on public land where hunting is allowed, including Department owned WMAs and private land with prior written permission. The bag limit for these hunts is one antler-point restricted deer.
