My condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. I hope you and your family find peace in God and heal as time allows. My family and I will pray for you and may your son forever be remembered.

Born and raised here with over 100+ years of family generations. My wife and I are also making the move elsewhere to get out of this state. There is no hope for it, it is a lost cause. We've done our parts trying to make a difference and sadly that effort goes nowhere when you are the minority...

Thanks for the clarification Rio. Appreciate it!

Good idea and advice. I am primarily looking at doing the first rifle elk season and muzzleloader. So, likely between the first and second week of October. Our current timeline is looking like I won't be a resident come that time, but tough to say. I don't expect to draw.. since I haven't held...

That makes sense. I just wanted to make sure that if I put in and drew anything, that I wouldn't have to forfeit the license because of residency requirements. Because if that is the case, then I wouldn't even put in. We just don't know when we will be out of here (pending other requirements)...

My wife and I are planning on moving out of the state this year, we just aren't sure exactly when that might take place. My dilemma is trying to figure out if I want to apply for any tags this year in the event that we might not be here come June. With that being said, if I were to put in for...

I wouldn’t trust anything open in Albuquerque. For the most part, those who are in the woods are fairly responsible individuals with morals and ethics. But unfortunately this state is filled with so many criminals that I wouldn’t trust anybody. Lock it up, regardless. Spend to much time, money...

Hi Robiland. Just came back from your state, love it! Unfortunately, anywhere you go in NM is going to warrant the need for extra caution when it comes to violent/property crime. Make sure you lock up items at camp, always lock your vehicles and never leave anything in open site. I’d setup a...

Yeah, it’s been an odd one for every animal it seems like. But I guess that’s how hunting goes right! I’m just grateful to be out there and enjoying a passion with friends and family!

So we actually found out we had permission to hunt the surrounding property from our landowner, which increased the acreage significantly!

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. We did end up hunting but we had to cut it short due to the massive 3ft snow storm that came rolling through. We were unsuccessful, unfortunately, but loved being out there. Saw a ton of beautiful country. We did manage to find does consistently, but couldn’t...

Found out that the landowner has permission to hunt the surrounding landowners properties. Unsure of what extent that is. But that does widen up the scope of which we can hunt on drastically. Next weekend can’t come soon enough, and I’m not even hunting! Lol.

Toklat, Due to schedules and work we haven’t had a chance yet. Hoping this weekend to confirm and get details. With that being said, our friend who is the landowner went up and got pictures from his game cam, there are some promising bucks passing by.

I’m sad to say, and this is coming from a hunter who lives and breathes that mountain, but good luck... you’re going to need it. I’ve been out there several times the last couple of months and didn’t see a dang thing. That unit used to be great, but G&F slaughtered it. Elk herd is low. When we...

Toklat, Thanks for the insight. We’re gonna talk with the landowner this weekend and get some more info. G&F should make it a little more clear in their proclamation. I’ve always gone by the notion of private is private and you need permission, but it didn’t explicitly say that.. better to err...
