Section 17-3-15 - Additional deer license. - New Mexico Statutes

17-3-15. Additional deer license.

A.     It is a misdemeanor for any person to procure or use more than one license to hunt big game in one year, except as provided in this section, or to use any tag after it has been used once.  

B.     For the purpose of effectuating better game management and control, the state game commission may by regulation authorize the sale of not more than one additional deer license each year to any person holding a license that entitled the person to hunt deer during that year.  The fee for an additional deer license shall be the resident or nonresident deer license fee pursuant to Section 17-3-13 NMSA 1978.  

C.     It is a misdemeanor for any person to take or attempt to take a deer with an additional deer license unless the person has the additional deer license and the other license that entitled the person to hunt deer for that year in the person's possession.  Possession of an additional deer license without the other license that entitled the person to hunt deer for that year is prima facie evidence of violation of this section.
