Don't know if this has been posted, but I was sweating about this since I have a muzzy elk tag in October. https://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/new-mexico-tribe-loses-claim-to-national-preserve/5496760/

My grandson drew unit 17 deer, unfortunately due to school etc. he will only be able to hunt the last weekend (coming up). He just turned 14 and has been on a deer and an elk hunt in the past, but has not got to pull the trigger yet. Any legal buck will do. I will do some scouting this week...

No this is not another post by Paul:) But another post by NM resident lucky enough to draw a Montana tag, thank you MT! Figured I'd post it here since not much activity on Montana site. Also got lucky and found a nice bull on 4th morning of my hunt. I had seen one other bull on the first...

Just got my Mtn Goat back from the taxidermist, just wanted to give a shout out to Carl Chavez of Mountain Legends, he did a really nice job. Photos of white animal against a white background don't do justice, I'll try to get some better pics in the AM. This is a full body on a wall ledge...

Just got my official email; 0 for 6.

My grandson was not able to hunt during his draw hunt, so we will take advantage of the late season offered to youths. He will be out of school next week and I am going on a scouting trip Friday (tomorrow) to check out a few spots. I have hunted 81 a lot, but mostly early seasons at higher...

Got back from MT Sunday night, it was a relatively short and successful hunt. Short, but tough for an old guy. I got real lucky and drew a tag for the new hunt in unit 361, right on the ID border, west of West Yellowstone. And I also got really, really lucky in that I had help; Pete Muennich...

I'm going on a goat hunt in Montana in a couple of weeks, and if successful will probably get a full-body mount. I haven't ruled out using a taxidermist from New Mexico (where I live), but thought I'd look into some others who have more experience with goats (such as in Colorado). So I'm open...

I found some numbers for 2010-2012, does anyone know where the numbers for 2013 are. Specifically looking for sheep, looks like the # of tickets sold was increasing 5-10,000 a year, wondering if it still went up last year. Thnx.

This whole situation sucks, and it was the HEADLINE news in the ABQ Journal today. http://www.abqjournal.com/360535/news/report-game-chief-set-up-lawyers-cougar-kill.html

Well I've hunted 8 days, put 2400 miles on the truck, coughed up a pound of dust, nothing to show for it. Going to try 2-3 days this week, hope to get lucky. Torn between just hunting a couple of spots where I've seen fresh sign, or trying some new areas. Any suggestions, or recent sightings...

Any of you NV guys surprised? http://www.businessinsider.com/harry-reid-assault-weapons-ban-gun-control-senate-2013-4

Looking for a rifle elk hunt in 2014, possibly 2015, for 4 guys. Looking for recommendations. Or if you had any bad experiences please PM. Thanks, JR

Er, I mean their "Spritual Home"! http://www.abqjournal.com/main/2013/01/14/news/spiritual-home.html wow, I could see this happening, they always seem to win these things, hope I'm wrong this time. JR

Anyone get any good photos? Most of mine were crap, here are a couple of the better ones. The few minutes during the "ring-of-fire" where awesome, camera couldn't do it justice. Glad I hiked up the hill to get a better view. Just past perfect alignment; Photos at sunset, moon covering...

Heading to 54 Friday, will hunt last 5 days of season. Been a busy Fall and couldn't miss Thanksgiving or get up there for first part of season. Has there been any significant snowfall, do you need chains? Never hunted this unit, talked to a few people and searched archives for some ideas...

Saw this critter while elk hunting down in 36. It was walking past me and I stopped it with a squeek on the cow call, had time to pull out the camera. It was a slick healthy cat, didn't look real big. Here's a zoomed in version. Pretty rare sighting, only my 2nd seen in wild, and happy I...

Been a tough year for me so far, and got a tough elk hunt coming up (6C). Since they added the NE half of San Pedro Parks to 6C I thought I would check it out (I've hunted a good bit in the Jemez, but none in SPP). I've spent better part of 2 days and lots of boot tread scouting up there...

My hunt is coming down to the wire and I have yet to even see one oryx (alive) off range. What worked in the past ain't working this year for me, even burned a few vacation days during the week, no luck. Mostly been hitting the western fence and nearby water from NW corner down to Buckhorn...

Going with a friend who drew orxy for this coming weekend. I hunted there 15 years ago, but I hear it's a tougher hunt now. Any tips on strategies and areas to hit first? JR

Got an archery bull tag starting Friday, and I'm considering adding treestand hunting over water to my options, assuming I can find a spot not already "taken". I generally don't have much patience for treestand hunting, so if you were forced to choose when to sit for 3-4 hours, when would you...

Going to Alaska next week, and if I'm lucky I'm considering bringing the horns and cape (shoulder mount) back in my checked baggage, rather than using a shipping service. I talked to some guys months ago that did this, but I forgot to ask them about the weight. Any thoughts on what those two...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-25-09 AT 10:24PM (MST)[p]I've booked a sheep hunt in Alasaka for 2009. Anybody know anything about trip insurance; costs, who sells it, what does it cover, is it worth it? JR

Anybody know when the sheep draw will be done? JR

Here's pics of buffalo and oryx skulls I just finished. The buffalo skull was dang tough. Oryx had a busted palate so it's missing some bone near snout. JR

Got this story in an email today: One day, long, long ago, there live a woman who did not whine, nag, or b#tch.......... ....But this was a long time ago...... .....and it was just the one day. The End.

Last week someone stole my credit card # that I used for my New Mexico and Nevada big game applications. After they racked up $4000 in 2 days the card was cancelled. Now there is only a few weeks before the drawings. I hope there is some way I can get NM and NV to use a different credit card...

Got this nice buck on 5th morning of muzzleloader hunt. Lots of deer to be seen in the buckskins, but this is the only buck of this size class we saw. I really like the mass of his antler bases, and knarly eyeguards. I rough scored him a bit over 178, with 39+ inches of mass. Whatever...
