Manti archery elk and deer for me.

Manti archery elk and deer...going to be a fun fall!

That a guess or inside info?

LAST EDITED ON Feb-27-17 AT 03:31PM (MST)[p]Damn, according to that link I was unsuccessful.

In the unit now sitting on the side of a mountain glassing the flats below and I just got a decent cell signal. Arrived a few days ago to scout, I've seen a few bulls but haven't found the big one yet. Curiously I haven't seen any cows so far. Anyone else hunting the season starting tomorrow...

I'll tell you what my deer load is in my CVA Optima V2: 100gr BH209, 250gr Barnes T-EZ, Federal 209A primer. I really like the Barnes and Thor bullets, they are real accurate out of my rifle and I just recently tried several different bullets.

For which rifle?

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-15 AT 08:51PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-15 AT 08:50?PM (MST) I've been running ITP Mud Lites. They ride pretty good because of the center section, have great traction and weren't too expensive.

I'm hunting a unit in NM I've never been in before for elk. Never hunted in NM prior actually, though I've been putting in for the last 5 years. I chose it, after researching it quite a bit, mainly because it's never rifle hunted and it's pretty rough country. That should increase the chances...

Judging in velvet is impossible to be accurate. I'll say he will be in the 330-350 range depending on mass.

Hey Rooster great pic, see many other elk? Do you have a tag for 17 this year? I thought I saw you hunted it a couple years ago, how did you do?

Switched from NAP crossfires to G5 Montecs a few years ago and haven't had a reason to change since, really good broadhead. Never shot mechanicals, no need to introduce another potential failure point with all that can go wrong archery hunting.

Muzzleloader this year, first time using one for elk. Drew a NM unit 17 tag. Might do antelope in WY with a rifle also if I have time. Struck out on everything in Utah so no archery.

Looking at the radar it looks like a pretty good storm rolled through unit 17 today. Anyone live around that unit? How's it looking?

I have a Sitka ascent that I use as a day pack, really fits well and hardly notice it's on. I just got it last Xmas so it will see its first action this season. I have a HH mainbeam that I can use for overnight trips and have enough supplies. Had it 6 years. I use a Gregory internal frame for...

The draw odds reports for 2015 are out now.

I'm shooting 300gr Thors out of my CVA, but I've heard Thompsons don't like conicals. I'd give the Barnes tmz 290's a try, same bullet but a sabot. Mine is real accurate with the Thors and I've heard real good things about barnes down range performance on elk. I hope to test it out in unit 17...

Man those maps are awesome! I just downloaded the unit 17 map. I had been using another map I found on the internet, it doesn't even compare. Thanks for putting up the link!

Can't get on the website but just got the email. Heading to unit 17, first muzzy elk! Super excited, starting the Internet/google earth scouting now. First time hunting NM.

Yep, harvest reporting is back and nothing's changed!

Struck out on VC...I would like to hunt it at least once but tough odds for Non-res.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-28-15 AT 03:05PM (MST)[p]Well its past 3:00, anybody receive anything yet??

>So ready for those emails tomorrow. > Me too, hope the backdoor stays true...

The one on the right appears to be a 6x8 and looks pretty long with good mass. I would say 350+ and a definite shooter. The one on the left needs to keep growing, it would be interesting to see how his left antler developes, it doesn't look broken but it is growing funny...

It shows a license # for me, that confirms what the previous backdoor showed! feeling pretty confident about drawing unit 17 elk first muzzy...

Heading to unit 17 muzzloader Elk!! First time hunting in NM! It shows the receipt for your general license now too if you drew.

4x3 buck in Colorado in 1986, 12 years old. No pictures but a great memory with my grandfather.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-07-15 AT 03:13PM (MST)[p]http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos3/6827img_1058.jpg Just bought a CVA Optima on clearance and mounted a Vortex 1x on top I got a great deal on. Including the breech plug to shoot BH209, I'm into it < $250. I just received the sizing kit...

I agree with 7mmUM, I have the Montana, Dakota and an old geko I got probably 15 years ago. I purchased the montana specifically for hunting/using the landowner chip. I had a LO chip in the Dakota the 1st year and the screen is just to small and dark. I only use it for hiking/backpacking now...

There were 30 when I got mine, figured they would go fast.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-20-15 AT 12:11PM (MST)[p]Just picked one up. Been watching them and they just got marked down to $151.90 this morning. Pretty good price on a good muzzleloader...

I'll probably be there Friday to validate and look for some things I can't live without.

Those hunts look awesome, javelina hunting is something I've wanted to do for a while. I've got to make it happen. What's the best source to find information on areas to hunt?

Tore my ACL & MCL a couple years ago skiing moguls the same year I had A LE Boulder early rifle tag. Had the surgery that March and hunted the whole season in early Sep, mostly solo. It was a lot of work to get the strength and range of motion back close to normal and I didn't move around quite...

I did hear it this year on my antelope at 325 yds but I would say I more often don't hear it. I would say most of my shots are under 200 yds typically though, like to get as close as possible...

Your going to love that .257, its my favorite caliber to hunt deer and especially antelope with. I topped mine with a Zeiss 4.5-14x40 and it seems about perfect, but if you don't have another rifle to put the Meopta on I would give it a try and see how you like it. I also site mine in at 300 yds.
