State Game and Fish overrules lesser prairie chicken hunt
Bob Gallagher argues that New Mexico should protect the lesser prairie chicken now listed as threatened, praising oil and gas industry support for habitat and land management. He notes the 8,000 birds in the state, up from 3,000 seven years ago, and credits industry for habitat work while opposing a federal endangered species listing that could hurt ranchers and the economy. He cites collaboration with agencies and groups and warns of broad economic losses if hunting or listing policies restrict land use. He closes by endorsing a cautious approach and thanks supporters of local fundraising efforts.
