4 Message fromColonel Robert GriegoLaw enforcement is an integral part of wildlife management in New mexico . Without it, we could lose the populations of bighorn sheep, deer and pronghorn antelope this agency has worked so hard to restore since 1903. As the citizens of New mexico , you should realize that the wildlife that I am sworn to protect belong to you. You are also an essential part of my law enforcement plan. My Officers and I depend on you to be our eyes and ears and to contact us when you hear about a poacher stealing your wildlife . Every year, our game wardens encounter people in the field who are intoxicated, who shoot from maintained roads, who use licenses issued to others, and who kill wildlife for which they are not licensed.

5 I am a hunter and trapper myself. I take pride and respect in game I take, while also following the rules. I am raising my sons to do the same, to not just be hunters, but to be True Hunters. I expect the same out of them that I expect out of Hunters: Follow the rules, even if it means they go home empty handed. Only hunt private land when they have written permission and are licensed to do so. Pick up trash at their camps, as well as the trash left behind by others. Use ATVs to legally get to their hunting areas, where they hunt on foot not on the machines. Own it when they make a challenge you to be a True Hunter, to show respect for the land and wildlife , and to be the type of hunter that will make a child proud.
