I want a SKRE membership

Nice ram! Those are memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

The biggest changes here are with non-resident fees (not surprising). It seems odd that the proposed increases are not uniform. For example, resident deer increases from $31 to $50 (~61% increase) while resident bull increases from $80 to $90 (12.5% increase). I wonder how the determinations...

Nothing here yet either.

I know you've already made your decision, but thought I'd chime in anyway to echo everything that has been said. I bought one for backpacking a few years back and used it on a DIY pack-in bighorn sheep hunt. Went in heavy, came out much heavier (see my avatar pic). The pack handled it...

Only the ram tags are OIL. You can draw a ewe tag even after having had an OIL ram tag and it's possible to draw a ewe tag more than once.

That ram is beautiful. Do you have a head-on picture? He looks really wide. Green score and age?

My oldest son drew an antlerless elk tag this year - his first real big game tag. He has been talking nonstop about this hunt since April. We went out and he had his tag filled by 7:30 on opening morning. What an amazing time in the woods! Area was gorgeous, bulls were still bugling, weather...

I was guessing the same thing. I picked up my 2019 ram from Paul a couple of weeks ago and can't stop looking at it on the wall. Fantastic work. Congratulations on a nice ram, Philthy. How did he age and green score?

The Santa Fe National Forest has lifted the Stage 2 fire restrictions as of today (Wednesday 7/29) at 8:00am. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/santafe/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD771295 I've been waiting for this good news. Heading out camping tomorrow with my family!

In my opinion, the problem with point systems of any kind is that they tend to breed a sense of entitlement among the hunters that apply and play the game. The mentality becomes one of "if I have to wait 10-15 years for an opportunity to hunt X species in Y unit, then it will be a phenomenal...

I'll join with everyone else in congratulating you on still being after it. It has been a bit tough for me to see my father retire his hunting boots. He's still about a decade younger than you. I have another friend who is still hunting and hiking well into his 80's as well. You guys are my...

I want that pack on my back!

I haven't seen my son's tags show up either. I'm hoping to see them soon.
