I've seen javelina everywhere in the Floridas. They are in all the draws that have water. They are a little harder to glass in the Floridas than the areas where I hunt them because they seem to hang out in thicker, brushier areas. Look for tracks and concentrate on those areas. When you do...

I hiked into the Pecos on Thursday. In the afternoon when I hit about 11,000 feet, I started running into elk and hearing bugles. I heard them and saw them Thursday evening and Friday morning, until I headed back down at about 1:30 Friday afternoon. Lots of elk, and tracks, but all up high.

I haven't hunted this area in many years, but I remember seeing some really big bucks in the aspen trees, not far from the roads in Unit 25. I was backpacking in to get away from the roads to get back to where the animals would be, but it turns out, the big deer I saw were all within a mile or...

Trophyhunter - What unit did you draw? Someone drew the unit that I usually apply for this year with 6 weighted points. If you PM me, and it's the same unit, I could fill you in on what I know; I've been keeping track of it for the last few years. -- Bob

Here in New Mexico, we eat lion regularly. It is very similar to pork. Try it in a green chile stew (chile verde) with Hatch green chile and potatoes.

I remember answering the surveys last year or the year before about credit card fees. I think I got a survey for every license I held that year, or every harvest survey or something. I think I got to answer the survey at least 3 times. I chose "pay the credit card fees", because the other...

I hunt several states. I'm a NM resident so I hunt deer here nearly every year. I don't know that I would hunt here as a non-res. Since you now have to buy a Game-hunting License ($65 Non-res) to apply, and as a non-res you are limited to 6% of the licenses, I think you are probably wasting...

Here's what you need if you are serious: Docter Optic 40x80mm ED Super Wide Angle Binocular with backpack (You can find them on Ebay. With a good carbon fiber tripod, they will run you about $5,000, twice the cost of a "good" Swaro spotter.) I have used them and --- They are truly amazing!

I've read this thread twice and I must be missing the point. I guess the consensus is that most of you want quality instead of opportunity??? (And I guess you resent land owners getting tags?) I personally love the way the NM system works. I like the opportunity to bring meat home, and do so...

Probably . . . . The leftover drawing results are supposed to post on Thursday, 12 July, and there are likely to be tags left over for sale "over the counter". They will likely be for areas that don't have any public access. They are some of the areas that have the asterisk "difficult public...

I checked my Montana Super Tag results today. I bought a couple tickets and they all showed up as unsuccessful. However, one number showed up in red and was designated as my "closest" draw. I guess that means I better buy more tickets next year ???

The Desert Bighorn Sheep tag was won by a guy in California, and the Rocky Bighorn Sheep tag was won by a guy in Florida.

Lots of antelope, very easy hunt. I've hunted there many times and when we hunted it 2 years ago I wished I had brought my bow. You could easily stalk to inside of 50 yards. Didn't see any big bucks, but plenty that were decent. It is typical, mostly-dry, high desert type landscape. The unit...

Yes, I considered changing my registration to Democrat so I could vote against the losers. However, there were too many losers and I would only get to vote against one in each office. So, I didn't change. But I'll get to vote against them in the General Election.

Yes, Pat Davis is a moron who thinks any publicity will help his campaign. He is an embarrassment to New Mexico and should drop out and go away.
