A Mandatory Brain Stem removal is required on the 2024 Tribal Elk Management Hunt. Call the Mescalero Conservation Office at 575-464-9323 Monday through Friday 0800-1630 or call BIA Dispatch at 575-464-4479 after hours. BIA will send an Officer out. Brain stem removals are required to be removed within 48 hours after harvest.
Also, a reminder to Hunters and Wood Cutters to refrain from cutting the fence off on NM State Road 244 and US 70. Tribal Livestock are getting out on the roadways and may cause an accident when the fence is cut or the gates are not closed. The Conservation Office is working with the NM State Highway Department on fence repairs and cattle guard cleanouts. Thank you!
