New Mexico Game and Fish Director Bruce Thompson Adds Poacher to His Resume
Poaching on private land but claming his GPS gave him faulty information. Yeah Right. I wonder if that excuse works for other hunters.
Oh and that is alleged poacher and Director of New Mexico Game and Fish Bruce Thompson. There is no mention of this investigation on the NM Game and Fish website.
Not to worry he will be investigated by his own employees at New Mexico Game and Fish and no doubt will not suffer any fines for poaching or jail time as happens to the little hunters when they make a mistake.
I am sure his employees when they clear him of wrong doing in this poaching investigation will no doubt be promoted or be transferred to better locations in New Mexico. Maybe just a newer tax payer truck was the price tag. Paybacks for the powerful and another government tax paid official showing his corrupt yellow underbelly.
I have to wonder about our governor Bill Richardson (presidential candidate) when his good buddy Bruce does things like this. No doubt Bill Richardson will also apply pressure to get these charges dropped.
Time for a new Director of New Mexico Game and Fish. There are some good employees out there who would no doubt do a much better job.

SANTA FE — State Department of Game and Fish conservation officers are looking into whether the department’s director violated a state hunting rule.
Department spokesman Dan Williams said the alleged infraction involving Bruce Thompson happened this past hunting season in southeastern New Mexico. Thompson had a deer hunting permit for public land.
Thompson said he used the wrong GPS coordinate when planning a hunt, which led him on to private land. He said he immediately reported the incident to his staff and is cooperating with investigators.
‘’I made an honest mistake, and this situation concerns me because I pride myself on being a hunter who pays meticulous attention to the rules,'’ he said Wednesday.
Thompson said he doesn’t expect to be treated differently than any other hunter and ‘’will accept any pertinent consequences.'’
No charges have been filed against Thompson.
