The official regulations have the final word

These dates come from rows a person checked against the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish's regulations, but bag limits, licences, draws, legal hours and closures are set there and can change during the season. Read them before you hunt.

HuntGrid isn't affiliated with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. A season shows here only once a person has checked it; others may exist.
