My 20 year old son and I drew our 3rd choice elk hunt on separate apps. Timed well so no conflict with his college classes. Should be fun. Other than turkey, this is the first time we’ve had the same hunt since we always put in separate apps to increase our draw odds. Good luck to all that drew!

Congratulations!

Good luck on your hunt. What load and bullet did you end up going with?

I shoot the Barnes Spitfire TMZ and spent a ton of time dialing in my setup with BH-209. I found that there is not much of a ballistic drop difference between the 250 gr and 290 gr when using 100 gr by volume of BH-209. I cannot say what the difference is at 120 or 150 gr by volume. I...

I’ve never hunted down in Deming so I can’t help out with spots. They’re really tough to attract without decoys but if you find a field they’re feeding on or flying to/from you can knock em down, just make sure you are concealed well in tall grass, weeds, etc. They’re very wary if a blind stands...

Hey all. I was lucky enough to draw a MRGV Sandhill crane tag this year. I normally hunt north of Socorro in an area I’ve had luck before, but last year I got skunked there. I was out scouting last weekend and it seemed that I saw more crane flying south of Socorro than north. I’m planning to...
