Expect Roadblocks Statewide in New Mexico During Hunting Seasons

The Department of Game and Fish will conduct roadblocks throughout the state during the upcoming hunting seasons to collect harvest data and to apprehend wildlife law violators.

Conservation officers also will check for compliance with provisions of the Off Highway Motor Vehicle Act, the Aquatic Invasive Species Control Act, and drivers of vehicles hauling wood products will be asked to produce documentation as required by the Forestry Conservation Act.

Department officers may be assisted by other law enforcement agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, New Mexico State Police or county sheriff’s departments. As a result, the public may encounter minor delays.

To report a wildlife-law violation, please contact your local Department of Game and Fish conservation officer or call the toll-free Operation Game Thief hotline at 1-800-432-GAME (4263). Callers can remain anonymous and earn rewards for information leading to charges being filed.
