This state's classification carries no date range for the species.
NM's only historically-present prairie-chicken species is the lesser prairie-chicken (eastern shortgrass/shinnery-oak prairie); greater prairie-chicken does not occur in NM and has no entry in state regulations. Note: 'Prairie Chicken WMAs/Areas' names recurring throughout NM's rules book are place names for historic lesser-prairie-chicken habitat, not a species with an open season.
