American woodcock does not appear anywhere in NM's official 'Migratory Game Bird Species Include' list (mourning/white-winged dove, coot, band-tailed pigeon, gallinules, snipe, ducks, geese, sandhill crane, sora, Virginia rail) nor in any season table (general or falconry) in either the 2026-27 Hunting Rules book or the Migratory Game Bird Supplement. Zero full-text matches for 'woodcock' across both official documents (7,269 + 539 extracted lines). New Mexico sits outside the American woodcock's typical eastern/upper-Midwest forest-edge range, consistent with the state simply not regulating the species.
