How long have you owned these?

Thanks guys, I need to remember to save these at the end of each year.

Is there a way to find the past seasons closure dates for bear zones? I am planning a hunt this fall and before I pick a date would like to know when the quotas have been met in past years. I looked on the NMDGF website but can only find info for 2023.

Okay great, being too early for topwater is a little disappointing but I have some big jerk baits and crankbaits I've used for largemouth. I am a little out of my element since I usually target bass so I appreciate the tips.

I am going to be around Quemado Lake in a couple of weeks and was wondering if it would be worth trying for a Tiger? I heard there was a die off from drought a few years ago so am curious if a population still exists. Not sure what lures to throw either but was thinking of a swimbait or...

Next on your list should be '3 Godfathers' if you haven't already seen it. Older one but a hidden gem

Thanks for everyone's input it has been very helpful. I think I have decided its time to stop buying the medium price ranged glass and trying to replace it every few years with something better. just need to scrape some money up and make a decision on what I want. Need to find some 12s and 15s...

For all you guys who hunt deer down south, what would be your go to setup for glassing? I have a decent pair of 10X42's but I was wanting more and cant decide if I should try out some 12 power or just get a spotting scope to carry separate. The only time I've used a spotting scope it was useless...

Looked to be about a year old, not a huge bull by any means but respectable. Saw it while hunting about a mile to the south of the northwestern portion Middle Fork Gila River. If anyone never recovered their kill last year and can describe the antlers and general area I'll be glad to let you...

Looking to purchase a unit-wide cow elk tag, preferably in the 30-37 units but will consider other units if the price is reasonable. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you that sounds great.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-01-18 AT 08:46AM (MST)[p]>Go to Texas. Let me know >if you're interested. Thanks! We are currently in the West Texas Area, are any of your outfitters near that area? We have a lease with hogs and whitetail on it but I like the Axis idea. Also we've been into quail/pheasant...
