Hello everyone. Congrats to all that drew. My daughter passed her hunter education course this winter, so I put her in for some hunts this year and she got all red. She was very disappointed she didn't draw a tag. Actually our whole family got all red this year. I'm wondering if anyone is...

Well I usually don't post much on here but I'm always looking at other people's pics. I thought I'd share mine this year. I was fortunate enough to draw an antelope tag (second one in 20 years) on a ranch South of mountainair. It was an amazing hunt, because my wife, kids and dad were all...

Here's my report from the first rifle hunt. It was hot of course and rained almost every evening so you know how the roads get. We came home empty handed but saw plenty of deer just nothing worth taking a shot at. Saw the typical forkies and 3x3s. We never laid eyes on any big ones but talked to...

Well after 15 years I finally was lucky enough to draw a MB antelope tag. This will be my first time hunting antelope. I'm really excited to have finally drawn a tag. I drew a Ranch only tag on the Malkerson Ranch. The ranch is just west of Carrizzozo. I'm fimiliar with the area but not the...

It was a hard hunt this year. Very hot and dry and the deer were'nt moving around too much. We did'nt see many deer this year compared to others. We saw a few does and a lone cow elk. but I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. I don't mind being lucky at all! I know he is no...

I was lucky enough to draw my third choice cow tag in unit 9, and was able to connect on this big girl sunday afternoon. My dad and I arrived the friday before around noon and it seemed the rest of the day was like a parade of hunters driving into the area. I could not believe how many people...

I have a cow hunt coming up and water canyon is included in the hunt. I've been looking at maps and it seems the only access to the area is through private land or indian reservation. My questions are do I access the area from I40 and go north and if there are gates on the private land are they...

Heres A couple bucks my sis and dad tagged last year in 18. This year will probably be drier than last year. But, we found a good water hole and caught these guys going to it. My sis spotted the buck she got and dropped him with one shot, right after her buck dropped the bigger one my dad killed...

Thanks guys for the info it's very much appreciated! The hunt also includes water canyon, does anyone know if thats an area to also check out?

Same old story I'm looking for some info on the unit. I finally drew an elk tag. The hunt is the second rifle cow hunt. Nov. 19-23. I plan on doing as much scouting as I can and bugging everyone I can that knows info on the area. I've never taken an elk and who knows the next time I can draw a...

Thats great! Even if my chances only go up a fraction there still going up! And thats a plus for residents. Who knows I could be one of the guys who gets one of the 3000 tags.

I agree with you Sportsman01 100%, well said!

My question is do you have to purchase a habitat stamp to hunt rabbits on BLM? The proclomation says residents do not need a license to hunt rabbits. But it also says anyone hunting on BLM must purchase a Habitat Stamp. I called the NMG&F and the girl said she'd have to get back to me. Just...

Thanks for the help! NMYB

I cant figure out how to post the pics, if any one can HELP! Sorry!!

I was just there as a tag a long cause I didnt draw a tag, but my dad and sis both drew again. They both took these guys Sunday after noon. My sister is the one who spotted them first, she said " I think I see a deer". So I look through my binos and sure enough her buck was staring at us about...

Here's a pic of my sisters first deer. She finally drew a tag, and she took a pretty nice deer for her first deer. It's hard to tell from the pic but he's a 5x4. He has some small forks. She got him the first morning, and with in the first couple of hours of the hunt. She shot once and he...

My sister was hunting the youth hunt this weekend, she tagged out saturday morning. She took a nice 5x4. It was her first deer. I'll try to post some pics as soon as I get my camera back from my dads truck. The camp next to us killed a huge buck, the mass was insane. i don't know the score cause...

My sister drew the 2b youth hunt starting this Saturday. She got a small map from the G&F showing the gates that would be locked. It said the gates will be locked starting Oct 15.

Thanks for the advice fellas. My sisters pretty excited for her hunt she finally drew a tag after three years of applying. This will be her first hunt and her first time carrying a rifle. So hopefully we can at least get her to get a shot. And if shes fortunate enough maybe drop one too. Thanks...

On the map my dad and I received from the G&F three years ago it said the gates close Oct,14. Thats the same day the youth hunt starts this year. Do they close the gates the same time every year? Thanks for the info 30inchbuck.

I have a question if anyone can help out. My sister drew the youth hunt in unit 2B. And I was wondering if they lock the same gates every year? My dad and I drew 2B three years ago and the G&F sent us a map of the gates that would be locked, I was just wondering if they lock the same gates year...

I've been a full time firefighter and EMT-B since 2001, in New Mexico. I think everyone should at least go through a certified CPR class. It's a class that could save a life when your out in the middle of nowhere, but it's also good to have when your home also with the family. When I'm at work I...

Hello everyone. I've been a avid visitor on NM forum for a long time and I think the stories and pics are amazing. THis is my first post. There are a lot of hunters in NM that know he state pretty good, my question is does anyone know any information on unit 18 for deer. My friend hunts there...

Does anyone know of or heard of if the G&F are going to have any extra deer tags available. I didn't draw nothing this year, I still want to go hunting somewhere!
