Nice one!!

Thanks for the info!

I plan on doing some archery bear hunting this year and was wondering what the procedure is after a successful hunt. I see that the pelt needs to be tagged within 5 days. Evidence of sex must be attached. My question is the skull portion. Do I need to skin the hide off the skull or can I bring...

Each year I put out cameras even if I don't have any tags; I enjoy seeing what comes across and it helps see what is in the area. I have never had any problems but my cams are also well off any trails. If it's easy for you to get to them or see them from a trail, its easy for someone to see them...

I've been hunting elk for 12 years now, all archery. When I first started in Colorado (where OTC archery tags are still available) I passed up on elk in search for the "Big Bull". Every one of those hunts ended with an unfilled tag. I have yet to kill a 300+ class bull and believe me I want to...

Yes, I'll be hunting archery deer in unit 34.

Hi all. I'm fairly new to New Mexico, being military. If anyone wants some info on area 34 elk I've been lucky enough to see a bunch of shooters during archery deer this year. I'm willing to talk and even help during next years hunt, provided I don't draw myself. I just like to help fellow...
