New Mexico Game Management Unit 3
Game Management Units (all big game) · New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (now NM Department of Wildlife)
Unit boundary
Simplified for the web from New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (now NM Department of Wildlife)'s public layer (source and terms). Units change with each season's regulations, and the legal boundary description in the regulations is what counts.
