SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The state Game Commission will accept comments from the public this weekend on a proposal to increase the number of bears and cougars that hunters can kill.
The commission meets Saturday in Albuquerque and will consider proposed changes in hunting rules for bears, cougars, deer and pronghorn antelope.
The commission is expected to vote on the hunting rules at a meeting in Ruidoso on Sept. 30.
At the meeting in Albuquerque, the commission also is to hear a report on Gov. Bill Richardson's executive order to temporarily ban trapping in part of southwestern New Mexico while the Department of Game and Fish studies the risks that trapping poses to Mexican gray wolves, which have been reintroduced in the wild.
