Left in Feb 2022, as we were planning on starting a family. Had a son in December. No looking back. I went to Iowa, as I grew up here with family. I tried to go to Florida, as I enjoyed Pensacola and Jacksonville a lot while I was in the service.

Different cat, just 3 miles to the NW as the crow flies. I could keep posting....

Not a lot will agree with me on this, and that is fine. This is my opinion based on my personal data collection and experiences. Personally, the biggest problem is predators. The past two years I've set out a good lot of game cams in the Gila, and there are A LOT of cats roaming the mesas and...

I noticed a marked decline this year compared to 2018 in which I was up there for a deer tag for whatever that's worth. But then again, this year I noticed UTVs were being driven on the forest service trails and even the continental divide trail. I would bet my entire bank account that has...

Sounds about right. Was up in 52 for a cow tag for my wife over the weekend. The weather was pretty gnarly. Saturday we were in 75 ft visibility most of the day with up to 60 mph gusts. It was too dangerous, and I took my wife home after the snow blew in Sunday morning.

I heard the Santa Fe National Cemetery is a good spot.

I've found quite a few lost kills in my time here. Long range rifles haven't done the numbers any favors. People are shooting at anything that walks no matter the range. I've come across a Boone and Crockett buck out of 13 about 10-15 years old that had half of it's face blown off. If you are...

I had a late muzzle tag a few years ago. I won't hunt it again as it's a tough, cold, lonely hunt. There's a reason why it's an easy tag to draw. Ton of hunters on the west side. Had a deer tag the year before that and I froze my butt off in below zero weather. The BLM land on the west side gets...

In summer of 2018 I saw some very large tracks in the mud which I thought to be much too large to be a coyote. I was on private land doing work in the Rio Puerco corridor just to the west of Cabezon Peak. These tracks I estimate to be 3.5" in diameter. Possible coyote, but the only other time...

Things are not looking good down south. Just got back from the Gila and the last precip they had down there was on March 27th which was baked off the top soil by 2 PM. The last soaking they had was the first week of August 2020. The snow they got in February and March did not even soak into the...

Do us all a favor and try to get a few of these beasts when ur down there. :-P I think these are coyotes......

Hi JB. Yea, good idea. It's fun country to trounce around in. I was down there last year. Most of 16 does not hold deer, and deer density is overall low in most parts of the unit. I've seen more wild donkeys and wild horses in 16 than deer. Ther are units that are much better, and there are...

All red for me and I put in for hunts that are pretty easy draws. My wife draw an antlerless elk, and we feel lucky for having that. Sea of red for everyone I know. Will talk to the neighbor later today to see if he drew. Anyone have any recommendations on outfitter hunts for muzzle mule deer in...

Any vets here? Some of those vaccines i got in the navy really jacked me up. One or a combination cause a vitiligo flare up and vasomotor rhinitis for years. Saw multiple specialists. It all cleared up a few years after I separated. Im not concerned about major side effects, its the minor side...
