The Jicarilla Apache Nation has postponed all remaining hunting and canceled the non-member fishing in the 2020-2021 Non-tribal Hunting and Fishing Proclamations.  This difficult decision was made in a concerted effort to reduce the spread of the virus, mitigate uncertainty, manage logistical constraints associated with travel, lodging and meals, and minimize the risks associated with Covid-19 the Jicarilla Apache people, our neighboring communities, and the many hunters and guests who travel from across the world to enjoy the Jicarilla Apache reservation.  We are disappointed that the pandemic has created these challenges but feel this decision was made in earnest to ensure the safety of all, and believe short-term sacrifices in 2020 will lead us towards a healthy and prosperous future.  We truly appreciate all of our hunters, tribal member guides, and various other supporters and ask for everyone’s patience and understanding during this challenging time.  We respectfully ask that all non-tribal hunters who have secured a 2020 license to follow the procedures provided below (A).  As detailed in an earlier press release (July 15, 2020) each person who applied for the 2020 cow elk draw will automatically receive an application voucher valid for 2021 cow elk applications (B).
