TAX AND LICENSE / HUNTING & FISHING LICENSES

A wide variety of game abounds in New Mexico, including deer, elk, antelope, dove, duck, geese, quail, pheasant, grouse, and prairie chickens. The Department of Game & Fish can provide complete details on licenses, limits, and seasons. Most fishing waters in New Mexico are publicly owned, although Albuquerque is convenient to a large cold-water portion of the state fishing waters. Streams, irrigation ditches, and the City of Albuquerque Fishing Lagoon are stocked with trout each winter.

Internet License Sales
Many types of licenses are now available for purchase online, including “over-the-counter” unlimited licenses for fishing, small game, turkey, bear, cougar, and some deer hunts. A printer is not necessary, since the official document of licenses and tags will be mailed. However, you may wish to print a temporary license that you can use immediately to fish or hunt for species that don’t need a tag.
