Howdy! I was curious if any of you have hunted the Sandia's (Unit 8) for turkey in the last few years, and how you felt the quality of the hunt was? My daughter drew one of the turkey tags in the Sandia's, and I'm looking forward to hunting them a little close to home. Just curious about...

My brother drew an OIL oryx tag on Rhodes this year, and I was going to see if I could start a thread of oryx photos with the length measurements for field-judging purposes. Since it is an OIL tag, we would like to be a little picky if possible. I like to get a feel for size beforehand so I can...

Since we're winding down NM's turkey season, I was curious what the largest Merriam's (in terms of beard and spurs) has been for some of you who have hunted them longer than I have? I hope to get a full-strut mount done eventually on a nice NM Merriam's, and I was curious what a large one looks...

I just noticed that the Valles Caldera turkey hunt requires the hunter to wear 244 sq. inches of blaze orange because it's considered a firearms hunt. Has anyone ever hunted turkeys while wearing orange, and how did that go? With their eyesight such as it is, it seems like it would be an...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-07-15 AT 11:25AM (MST)[p]http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos3/73002b.jpg Saw this posted on the NM Avid Hunter's FB page this morning. Awesome deer that was supposedly hit by a vehicle in 2B and sold by NMDGF to the guy who found it for $100. Talk about perfect...

I drew the January hunt, and this is my first oryx hunt that's on-range. Does anyone have any input on gaining access to the McGregor range (do I have to go to El Paso, etc.?) and the difficulty of locating animals? Also, if I want to take someone with me, I'm assuming they have to jump through...

I was contemplating putting in for the Valles Caldera turkey tag this year, and I was curious if any of you fine, upstanding gents (or gals) have ever hunted turkey there or perhaps seen turkeys while elk hunting? Also, for any of you who have done the hunt before, are there any rules on keeping...

I realize I'm probably a little behind the curve on this one, and there are other forum threads that have partially addressed this, but has anyone used the VPA broadhead (100 or 125 grain) on elk and had good success? I am looking for the toughest fixed-blade broadhead I can find for my archery...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, FEB. 17, 2014: Chairman resigns from State Game Commission SANTA FE ? Scott Bidegain, chairman of the New Mexico Game Commission, tendered his resignation from the commission over the weekend. Bidegain represents Game Commission District 4. In his resignation letter...

I watched this video from CarbonTV.com yesterday, and I was amazed at the poor penetration of this broadhead (the arrow actually bounces off the bull's scapula). If you don't want to watch the whole thing, you can jump to about 12:50 and see the shot in slow motion. I have contemplated using the...

Has anyone been successful in taking an Oryx off-range this month? I have hunted 8 days thus far, seen 27 oryx (most of which were broken), and all of the ones I have seen are on range and know exactly where the fence is. This hunt had a 56% success rate last year, and I'm curious if anyone has...
