“This is a way for the state of New Mexico to show its appreciation for the sacrifice our service-connected disabled veterans have made for their service to our country,” said New Mexico Department of Veterans' Services Cabinet Secretary John M. Garcia. The NMDVS has 17 offices statewide to assist veterans with filing for their service-connected disability claims.
The special license does not replace the free general hunting and fishing license currently available to resident veterans who are 100 percent disabled.
The $10 fishing and small-game license will be available July 1 and will allow the licensee to fish for all game fish and hunt for squirrel and game birds, other than wild turkey, during the open season for each species. The license will be available only at department offices this year, but may be available by regular mail in the future.
