Unhuntable like in town.

There are a few of us die-hard hunters that don't believe in unreachable places. It is usually the enviro wackos that deny access.

Heh... There's a pair of deer here that spend most of their time in the greenspace between the freeway and the on/offramp. Pretty smart if you as me.... no hunters, no neighborhood dogs.... no predators. :~D

It is the same here, as immigrants move in from California and buy up property, they close it to hunting. NM is something like 80% privately owned in the first place because of the Spanish Land Grants, and in most instances you have to know someone in order to get permission to hunt on their land.

I suspect that the ranchers and farmers over on the West Slope of Colorado have about had it with out of state hunters and have shut a lot of that hunting down also. It becomes a vicious circle. I know the game warden at Canon City, and he says that they have a lot of problems with poaching. That makes things even worse.
