Your numbers are skewed. First, tons of residents use the outfitter draw. Even know lots of guides who use their outfitter’s application number in the outfitter draw . Second, all 10,000 LO tags go to NR… that’s false. Yet again I know tons of residents who buy LO tags. I’m a resident and I’ve...

Not trying to argue. Just don’t understand how it’s bad management. Our elk hunting is as good as it’s ever been.

I apply all over the country and New Mexico has one of the best draw systems in the west. I have buddies that draw elk tags often. As a lifelong resident I think the NR tags, Eplus and Ranch only tags are beneficial and bring in tons of money to this state. They are such small portions of tags...

I’ve had the NL 10x42s, SLC 10s and 15s, EL 10x42s and 12x50 HD. I looked through my buddies NL 12x42s and couldn’t handhold them steady at all. I am currently running the EL Range TA 10x42s. The image quality is as good as anything I have had even the 12s. For disclaimer I used all these optics...

Sharing my post unit 12 Elk late rifle hunt results. Spent two weeks scouting across Sept and early Oct. Did see a few nice bulls on these scouting trips. However hunted all 5 days and hiked on average 5-8 miles a day. 3 different public land locations. Stayed out all day long. Saw tons of cow...

Thanks for the offer but I’ll have to pass. $1300 is pretty dang cheap as is.

Also you forget that most of these tags are already spoken for by Outfitters. They only want money and bartering is out of the question in most cases

You’re very optimistic which is good. Use what you have but I don’t think you’re going to get far with “labor” when a rancher knows he can make 20k on one elk tag. Personally I’ve bought three unit wide bull tags in NM. $5000-$8500. I am a resident. It’s a lot more money than you think and they...

You’re ? right. No way to compete with people from Texas. The Texas economy is ranked 9th in the world. New Mexico is 45th in the United States.

Since it’s a hot topic: Wade Lemon Mexico all inclusive Coues, Mule Deer, Desert Bighorn And haters go…. ?

NM Elk quality isn’t the same and is about 1/2 as good as it was even 5 years ago. I spend 100 days scouting all these units every year. People are legitimately paying 3x the money for 300-330” type bulls with very minimal chance at 350+. Paying for it at all is what is foolish unless you have a...
