Now that things are ramping up, I figured I would resurrect this old thread.....any thoughts on the unit 42 whitetail hunt?

My dad drew for the unit 42 whitetail hunt. It was pretty much an accident, as it was his last choice, but when he was scrolling down to submit, he was still in the selection box, so he scrolled to a different hunt by accident, and didn't notice until it was too late. Anyhow, according to the...

2,000 licenses - $222k in pocket for NMDGF, assuming only residents. 5 day requirement to report to NMDGF, with 2,000 rifles throwing lead? I think 125 harvested could happen before half the people make it up the mountain! Not that I'm claiming it's easy hunting, but with that many people in...

So, is it true that they will be allowing hunting on the Ghost Ranch this year? I heard the outfitters are already camped out. What's the scoop? How did this come about?

LAST EDITED ON Oct-05-11 AT 00:22AM (MST)[p]Awesome! I spent an hour with Barry on the phone hearing all about it and I gotta say...I started saving for a Mt. Goat hunt in BC and I'm second guessing that right now! That trip sounds like it was amazing!

That makes a lot of sense. Drop the money right away, (gonna spend it anyway) and get a trophy area to boot. Save extra to take the family out so they can sight see while I hunt. (that helps defer other "costs" in the home!) My son is now 8 years old. I am thinking maybe a 5 or 8 year plan...

Excellent! Thanks for the info....

I am completely ignorant when it comes to mountain goat hunting. So I guess I am just looking for the basics. 1) Is this a rich man's game, or are there affordable opportunities out there? 2) Is this like bighorn, where winning the lottery has about the same odds of drawing a tag? 3) Where...

Let me throw this in the conversation to see if it adds perspective: Let's say you're one who doesn't count the eye guards, and you kill a net 185 typical buck that has no eye guards. What have you got - a great buck that anybody would be proud to take, and a footnote...."if only he had 5 more...
