    No scopes on muzzleloaders

    G&F all of a sudden claim that muzzleloader success rates are way too high but when asked to produce the data to support this claim “they simply don’t have the data to support their position”. Using existing harvest reports, there is no way for anybody to know how many muzzleloader elk are...

    34 elk muzzleloader

    Surprisingly g&f is proposing making all of unit 34 a secondary elk zone, thereby eliminating all Unit wide properties and tags. All private land in 34 will become ranch only and elk tags will become unlimited on these ranch only properties. All ranch only properties in unit 34 will now be...

    NR Irritation

    Who are you to decide what is “fair”? Your perception of fair is likely very different than another person’s perception of fair. Is it fair that az/wy/co/nv allows hunters to purchase a bonus point or preference point in return for better draw odds? Is it fair that wy allows hunter to pay a...

    Lets look at the numbers

    Great analysis that shows how little the needle really moves on res & nonres draw odds by going to a 90/10 split. I’m definitely not opposed to a 90/10 split but res and nonresident applicants that have this notion that all of a sudden they are gonna draw tags like never before are living in...

    NR Irritation

    Nm residents can improve their draw odds substantially for offrange oryx and Barbary sheep by applying in the outfitter pool. For bighorn, ibex, on range oryx, elk or antelope a resident will have higher draw odds applying as a resident vs in the outfitter pool.

    Zero Guide fees experience/ feedback ?

    I have been a member of zero guide fees for several yrs. Ended up drawing a late rifle elk tag in the random draw my second yr of membership. Had a great hunt and everything went smoothly with no hidden fees. My guide was top notch and worked his butt off for 7 days. The other hunter in...

    Did you happen to lose a bench made knife out in the field? I recognize your truck and came across a nice knife someone had dropped not far from where I saw your truck.

    Tagged Out!

    Saw plenty on the wrong side of fence but very slim pickings everywhere else. We had a couple opportunities on broken horns and several subadults early in the hunt but we were looking for a mature animal that had both horns intact. Much harder hunt than years past off range hunts.

    people that answer the phone at g&f rarely have a clue what they are talking about. you were definitely misinformed, you are required by law to be guided the first 2 days of your hunt.

    Unit 30 cell coverage and camping conditions

    if you have verizon you will have good cell coverage anywhere up high. i wouldnt recommend camping up on the rim, your gonna freeze your butt off and winds are brutal. Much better to camp a few miles down off the rim, plenty of protected spots down low.

    Do yourself a favor and throw those powerbelts in the trash. Hands down worst performing muzzleloader bullet for elk.

    New Mexico 2C archery deer

    Had the archery tag 2 yrs ago, surprisingly drew it again this yr. In 2016, i hunted the entire 15 days. Very tough hunt but i had the opportunity to stalk some amazing bucks. It took me 7-8 days to get dialed into some big bucks. Unfortunately, it never came together for me. In fact, I...

    When is the elk draw?

    I logged into the Portal this morning and clicked on the "view details" for my pending elk application. Under "individual bonus points" my total elk points have been zeroed out. Is anyone else seeing this on their pending application?

    Any updates on 16B guys? Covered 12 miles on horseback on the east side of the unit on Sat and another 9 miles on the north side of the unit on Sunday. I have already decided from summer scouting trips, I'm not going into the west side of the unit. It's just too nasty with deadfall from the...

    Barbary Sheep hunt in Units 32, 34, 36-37

    Hunters have been getting screwed in this part of the state for years and it will continue. In fact right now there is an effort underway to further restrict hunter access by closing a county rd in unit 32. On Thursday night there was a public hearing with the chaves county commissioners and a...

    Best muzzleloader for the money

    Had a cva accura v2, killed 2 bulls and 2 muleys with it in two yrs. Great gun. Upgraded to the accura v2 long range this summer and my uncle smoked a 330" bull at 250ydsome with it in nov. Went 10 steps and topped over. Go cva, you won't regret it. There's really no comparison in my eyes...

    2B or 2C Archery Hunt success?

    That's the truth. If you don't have heavy duty mud service chains on all 4 tires, your not gonna make it more than a 1/2 mile up the road before your stuck. The conditions have been hell this year to say the least.

    2B or 2C Archery Hunt success?

    We have been close on some 190-200" bucks in 2c but no good shot opportunities yet. There are some true monsters running around up there but you have to know how to find them in that country. It's very easy to go several days up here without seeing even a doe. This is our 14th day (5 scouting +...

    January 2C mule deer archery hunt

    Was out today up on smouse and Crowe . Holy mother of mud! The roads are really trashed. I've hunted 2b several times and I ain't ever seen mud like this. Almost stuck the tundra several times with chains on all 4. Saw sevetal different groups of does but no bucks Rut seems to be wrapping up.

    Heading to 2B

    We have been out scouting/glassing a couple times over the last 10 days. My uncle has the 3rd rifle hunt. Weather definitely not helping the situation. We are turning up lots of forkies and 6pts but nothing mature. Biggest buck we have glassed up might go 150". Good luck out there.
