jamaro Report post Posted January 19, 2012 OK Guys... I need some input... I and NMWF want to do some sort of PSA talking about Land Usage Maps, particularly on GPS's. Basically what we are finding is that some NOT all LO are trying to bluff totally legal hunters off of public land... It happened to a board member this weekend... What we need to do is "arm" ourselves with knowledge. We need a way of pushing back on these LO that are making ideal threats of trespassing.. We also need to make sure that we are not trespassing and doing the right thing... These LO have learned that if they sound convincing enough many sportsman will back down because they are not 100% that they are on public land.. If effect many checkerboard parts of the state don't get hunted because people are just too afraid to risk it...SOOO my questions is 1) How do you determine Land Usage? 2) Do you have any things we should include on the PSA? 3) Anything else??? Once again thank you Jason www.The New Mexico Sportsman.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLance Report post Posted January 19, 2012 In Arizona the state has GIS Data maps available on line, and the bigger counties also have the GIS Data maps on line. The maps provided by the state show land ownership, but the county maps go much more into detail, and will actually tell you who owns each private parcel. Actually I think they put too much information on line, you can find out who the mortage for each parcel is with and the amount of taxes owed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hawkeye Report post Posted January 21, 2012 good luck with all of that. I have had more trouble finding accurate maps for New Mexico. You sure cant trust the Forest Service maps, and trying to deal with some counties is just plain impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
