It's all good nmelk13. I agree there is still alot of Tribes that don't do much for their people. This designation of Mt. Taylor as a TCP has created a lot of animosity towards the natives. In fact, in the Grants/Milan area, authorities have arrested an individual for beating on natives because...

There are some valid points if so. The argument is always that Tribes are always looking for handouts and want everyone else to pay for the atrocities of the past. That is not the case. Tribes follow the rules that have been laid out to run the casinos, schools, hospitals, etc. There may be some...

HAHAHA...ok...if that's what's happening...sure..show me the facts of such statements. When that is shown to me, we shall commence to have an intellectual conversation. How any of these statements have anything to do with an education foundation wanting to raise money for scholarships is beyond...

There were a lot of injustices that were committed years and eons ago. We all can state that fact. No one is paying for them although there have been treaties/documents signed committing to the facts. That is not the point going on here. There is a mention of joining society which believe it or...

I agree taxes aren't paid by everyone and aren't distributed fairly. My point exactly. Why do you think that the education foundation is trying to raise the money for more scholarships. The casinos have nothing to do with this topic. Unfortunately, that's the easy way out for those that think...

Yes we can call it what we want. Welfare...handout...we are all entitled to our opinions. That's what makes this country so great. So all those scholarships out there for all to use are all handouts/welfare. Taxes are paid by all to include scholarships, road projects, infrastructure, etc. We as...

It's a good cause because the money that is raised is used for scholarships that Laguna Tribal students can access to pursue their education at the college level. Droptine

LAST EDITED ON Jun-25-09 AT 10:10AM (MST)[p]You can have a tag for the reservation as well as a state tag. Here in Laguna we do have our own department of natural resources so therefore, our big game seasons and tag numbers are set seperately from the state. I myself hunt both the state and...

There are some nice bulls in the area that the hunt is going to take place. Alot of elk in that area. I've seen a couple non-typicals and some nice typicals. I would estimate the bulls to average in the 330-340 range but I know of a few that have hit the 350-360 range. Nice area to hunt being...

It's been awhile since I've been able to check out the forums here on MM. Looks like I've missed quite a bit but then again, it looks like I haven't missed a thing. If that makes any sense to anyone. Just want to say hello to all the new people on the site and a hello to all those that have been...

Congratulations to the young man. His 1st bull is bigger than my 1st and only bull. I don't want to take anything away from the young man and his dad, but this was not a DIY hunt. He was guided into a nice little hidey hole on public land. There was a guide doing the calling. There were trespass...

Last Update: 02/20/2007 4:32:08 PM By: Associated Press SANTA FE (AP) - The Senate on Tuesday endorsed a Department of Game and Fish proposal to auction off two pricey hunts each year. Each of the two hunting packages would allow the winner of the auction to kill a deer, an elk, an oryx, an...

Secondly, I work as a electro/mechanical drafter/designer for my tribally owned gov't contractor building mobile communications shelter for the Army.

Here's a few I remember after reading this. Your hair is like silk.....corn silk Your hair is like wool....steel wool Your teeth are like stars....they come out at night Your lips are like petals....bicycle pedals Your ears are like flowers.....cauliflowers Your nose is roman....roaming...

Hey Muleylover, Congrats on a nice buck. I know the hunting in this unit can be tough. I'll be heading down to unit 21 tomorrow. Hopefully I can find something that's as nice as the one you got there. I sent you a PM. Again, congrats on a nice buck. Droptine

You got that right NMHUNTNUTT1, Everyone is a LOBO whether they want to admit it or not. LOL. Whether the LOBOS are having a tough season or not, we dont jump ship like all other "fair weather" fans. I've been with the LOBOS thru all the up's and down's including the losses in their bowl games...

Hey Wes, Nice bulls you and your buddy took. Congratulations!!!! The unit you hunted has a lot of potential for trophy animals. The tribe dont allow many bull elk permits. They allot a total of 5 permits to tribal members and a few more than that to the non-tribal members. This is reservation...

Here are my hunting buddies.... My dad, my son and me My dad, my son, me and my other hunting buddy These pictures are from our NM hunt last year. I've been hunting with my dad as long as I can remember. He'll be turning 74 yrs young and I'll continue taking him as long as he can continue to...

That's a very good example of the speed goat speciman. Congrats to your mom. What unit did she get it in? How wet was the area because I know the state was getting rain all weekend. So wet that we are getting flooded to the west of you. Are you doing the mount for your mom? Droptine

Hey Kid, Congrats on the antelope....oops....I mean your muley. LOL. Are you sure you shot that buck with a .260? Looks more like a paint gun with all that red in the pic. LMAO. Seriously tho, damn fine speciman of a muley if I ever saw one. Hopefully I can find one anything close to that. Good...

I believe I know why he left. It's not because of "bashing", "berating of so-called hunters" or any of the so-called excuses he wanted to throw out there. It's very possible that the guy that this happened to was this very same fellow that has just left our presence. Just my thought. Droptine

Hey Mike, I know it's been awhile since we've talked. Things have been pretty good for me. I was busy most of this summer coaching the local little league team. Glad the season is over and now I can focus on hunting. I didn't draw any of the tags I put in for this year. I'm batting 0-6 right...

Hey Kid, Congrats on your marriage. Wishing you a long and happy marriage to a wonderful and beautiful woman. I know you've been very lucky to have found a woman who shares the same passion as you. I know you two will have a very wonderful life together. Sorry the congrats are so late but I've...

My condolences to you and your family Kingfish. My heart and prayers go out to and your family. Droptine

That's the pied piper that brought the buck in for the hunter. He's just in the back practicing for their next outing. Droptine

Here's a story on this from yesterday's Gallup Independent. Not only that but if I'm not mistaken, I do believe the guy in the story is the same guy that was brought up previously on the boards here for keeping the rack of a bull of one of his clients and they are still trying to recover it. It...

Hey Kid, Congrats on the speed goats. It's always great to be there with the kids when they get their very first animal. Glad you are one of those parents that shares the experience of the outdoors with the kids. Showing them the ethics of true sportsmanship. Harvesting of a animal is always a...

Hey Tim Congratulations on another good Jicarilla bull. Great story. I take it you werent out and about with Stuart this year? Glad you had a blast here in New Mexico, again. Droptine

Bulldogger, The store is located on Renaissance right by the Costco off of Montano and I-25. Droptine

Hey NMtaxi, Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Looks like you connected on a fine representation of what New Mexico has to offer when it comes to oryx. I'm sure with all the persistence in tracking and finally being able to connect and harvest this fine animal was just a bonus to this memorable hunt...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-04 AT 01:02PM (MST)[p]Hello Kids, You all have one fine teacher in Coach. I had the pleasure of meeting Coach and his lovely wife while they were in Albuquerque for the State track and field meet. He is one outstanding person to be around and has vast knowledge and wisdom...

Hey Deerking, Great pictures as always. Thanks for sharing your outdoor enthusiasm with the rest of us. Makes the "off" season go by a little faster. Droptine

Your Family and Brother-in-law will be in my prayers. All those that are in the military will be in my prayers. Without those serving our country, we will not be able to enjoy what we all take for granted. Thank You to those serving and protecting us and may you all return home safe. Droptine

I've never try using the wing bone as a call. My dad has always told me about how the wing bone can be used but I just have never tried making one. One of these days I will have to try it out. So has any one had any luck with the turkey? I've heard of only two of my buddies having any luck. One...

Vini - there use to be some good turkey hunting around here but not like it use to be a few years ago. Alot of it has to do with the drought. I still see an occasional turkey or two up around Mt. Taylor and I'll go into the Zuni's when I do get a little more time on my hands. I use all the the...

I know there are a lot of you out there that do hunt these big birds just like I do when the season comes around. What I would like to know is this, what do you all do w/the feathers? The reason I ask is because I do use the feathers. If any of you big bird hunters want to unload the feathers...

Glad to see you are home Coach. We all know that nothing can keep a good man down and you are proof of that. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Get better, which I know you will and hope you have a speedy recovery. Droptine
