I think the program should exist, but, I think the number of tags allotted to the program should decrease. The price landowners can sell tags for now compared to 15 years ago should be taken into consideration. They can still get substantial money with less tags in fact price would probably go...

Not the landowner tags I have been buying. the tag is good unit wide and no public access to property. I have specifically discussed this with the game and fish department when I am validating tags.3 years in a row. And Yes. 3 tags 160 acres. I am not an expert on CO, I just have first hand...

It came to mind after I posted. The CO deer landowner tag that is unit wide does NOT allow the public to hunt that land. NM does allow the public to hunt the private land that are issued UW tags. I know NV also has landowner incentive tags that are unit wide. I am not familiar with the...

I will say again that the intention was not to make it about you. You are right, you did not say it was a bad thing. It was a post previous to yours I think Genos about buying cattle operations. Most guys that are buying property for investment, hunting also will lease the cattle operation...

What else is it? Someone buys land and tries to make it more appealing for wildlife and thats a bad thing? What difference if that person is a NM resident? You are the one getting personal. Give solutions instead of attacking a system that is at least making habitat a priority. So if you...

People make choices in life. Someone saves money and buys land and tries to encourage wildlife and now thats a bad thing. There are less and less opportunities in the west to hunt. Every state. Its nobodies fault. Quit looking for a boogeyman or someone to hate and be jealous of. Less...

I know several that have. It improves the chances of getting tags and improves value of property as far as objective values. The subjective value is improving habitat and helping wildlife. Not a doubt in my mind wildlife in NM would be in a worse place without the E plus system at least in me...

As it should be.

I kinda think caliber consideration is over thought. Dead is dead. My buddy who was a sniper in the army still shoots a 308 and everything is dead with one shot at longer distances than I am willing to shoot. That being said, I just bought a new rifle. I got a 300 win mag again. Could not...

Geno, you are right about divorcing certain weapon choices. I found out last year that I am not able to do open sight muzzleloader anymore. Cant see the sites. I can still see bow sites because now you are only 20-50 from the animal, but, at some point those sites are gonna be to blurry also.

Spot on. With hunting if you cant make adjustments, evolve and stay positive, this is probably not your activity.

If anyone has a spot where I dont have to hike on rocks all day I am interested. LOL Actually at this point its my sons responsibility. He better get me on something good so I can miss. He guided a youth hunter to a monster last year, so I now got standards. He dont let me post his guiding...

Drew 34 rifle bull. That living right this year paid off. LOL

Dont feel to bad Non residents. Res odds are pretty bad now also. Remember about 5 years ago when main stream media was pushing the narrative that there are less hunters, and only hunters were old white men. I guess that was a lie.

This cockroach should have been in jail.

My last few turkey hunts ended in 20 minutes after the birds in the roost always go the other direction. Then it turns into a shed hunt while shlepping around a shotgun.

Congratulations. Sounds like a great trip. And yes there are pockets of whitetail in several parts of unit 34. Mostly on private but, they seem to be thriving.

Drive the 130 at first light and you probably will see a couple hundred. Then use your ONX to hike any of the public land

LOL, that would be embarrassing. I dont think they could lift me.

Yep. Then I see them cutting roads from their private onto public and putting feeders all over their private. I doubt it accomplishes much for them but it shows the lazy man mentality. Coming from places where they are used to sitting blinds over feeders. They cant help themselves.

Their population seems to be on the up tick on the eastern slope of the Sacramentos. Seeing more sign and more sightings than I can remember. That being said probably not where I would focus on for a hunt. North of Deming had a good population in the past. Seen them on base of Floridas also

Im waiting to see where everyone else is applying so I can apply there. LOL. Good grief. There are dozens of sources of odds available. All kinds of information for free on the internet.

I have know Justin for awhile. He is a good hard working guy.

Be a great hunt no matter what.

I dont think the wind will make to much difference at 100 yards.

Merry Christmas all.

Great to see someone that appreciates and creatively utilizes venison.

Off range is a tough hunt. The stuff you mentioned you learned will make you a better hunter for most species in the west.

Barbary NM public land is a tough hunt. Very hard to go first time ever and be successful . After a few times you normally manage to find sheep every day. That being said the hunt isn't getting any easier. Really study ONX to find true roadless areas. Then be a couple miles back on good...

Well, at least its always nice getting new tires.

Boy that does seem like a low quota.

Awesome buck congrats to your son.. Those big bucks that show themselves and you cant close the deal haunt you forever. LOL. Now he has some serious day dream material.

We drew crane last year and hunted Tinnin hunt club. Even I got my limits. My oldest son only likes bird hunting so we are going to Lubbock at the end of the year.

Hope he is hooked for life.

Cant imagine the government lying to us.

My buddy Tony gave me permission to share this photo on MM. Cant tell you how excited I am for him. After joining him on a tough 16A archery hunt a couple weekends he had built up some luck. Yes that's his happy face. :) He saw this buck last year briefly. He was actually preparing to...

I have an alaknak. Its okay, some quality control issues. I saw a wall tent on Costco online. I would have bought that one if I had to do it again.

I will sure consider it, but, I noticed my ability to see sites and distance got worse over just one year.
