Agreed Muleman. If they had the elk numbers year-round you bet they’d be RO and restrict access to paying customers only. They’re definitely not UW out of some moral prerogative to improve hunter access. As I understand from talking to several guides in the area it’s a game of betting on a...

I see you Bulldawg87. You’re right. But that takes meeting in the middle somewhere. Compromise. Listening to others. That’s something we don’t do anymore in this country. It’s I’m right you’re an idiot these days. I agree about the shot you described. That sounds safe. But based on the sounds...

When I see people on either side of the aisle throwing this generic liberal or conservative insults I know exactly why we are where we are as a country. Don’t be a puppet to either party or their wack ass agendas. Think for yourself instead of throwing all that liberal/ conservative BS on every...

I ain’t afraid to admit when I’m wrong or got something incorrect. That’s how I learn. Thanks for showing me that Booner! Still won’t be taking those shots that close to houses nonetheless.

Yup! These are just a few of 100's of similar examples. On many of these properties you cannot even get the 150 yards away from a structure to take a legal shot if you wanted to.

Perfectly stated. "Equal access is equal access period end of story."

Amen. Common sense changes. Balanced. Like I said if landowners keep abusing the system it will be to their own demise. If they are fair and equitable like the landowner who allowed drive-thru access on the property I accessed that eventually led to my bull harvest, people will respect the...

Booner, everyone knows the spirit of the rule when it was created. Like you said, " It sounds like you agree. It's all good though. In my personal experience when people/governments/institutions are taking advantage or abusing systems or rights, nature has a way of balancing itself. The...

Have you looked at an EPLUS map? A vast majority of properties are small little parcels that give you access to a few acres and half the time have houses on them. If Adobe is that damn premium they would keep it Ranch-Only as most premium ranches do. Concerned with their families and equipment...

NM High Country In my experience growing up in NM people are pretty darn good at leaving gates the way they found them. I do. I bet you do too. I believe you yourself said it best in another post you commented on when it came to not allowing legal access, “I’m probably getting my battery...

I like your logic and thought about it myself to be honest. I already own a sizable chunk of land that sees its fair share of deer and some elk visits throughout the year. But at the end of the day we have to stand up for what we believe in and look at the man in the mirror. I'm not for it even...

Nailed it!

I like your take on Elk first. You're right, It is abused. It happened in 16C to me on a youth encouragement hunt. The property owner even had a map on the gate showing that it was a legit access point but was locked anyways. NO cell service in that unit. I did call wardens when the hunt was...

At least with your example the forest road is closed equally to everyone, no exceptions. We are all playing by the same rules. In your personal opinion. You are ok with landowners locking out public land hunter vehicular access under the current system? You think it's fine as is? My honest...
