Anyone else going?

I've been there a few times and found rattlers almost every time. One was a little too close climbing a rock in the dark and came up to a ledge and met one face to face. Well maybe we were a few feet apart but way too close for comfort. I guess it depends on your comfort with snakes if you want...

I'll be headed down the 28th and plan on staying a week or two! Most of the time sleeping on the rock. Good luck to everyone. May your arrows hit their mark.

Here's another vote for Stone Glacier. They are awesome packs. I use a sky 7400 for everything from hauling a salt block half a mile down a canyon to packing multiple days and heavy loads. It sounds massive but compresses down to the same size as my old Badlands 2200 when empty. The only other...

Were you ever able to check out some KUIU? It's good clothing!

thanks for the heads up! Wish I could go. Someone please attend and get this crap to go away!

I have a buddy that has RV hookups in town. PM me for more info. Other than that the choices are Mesa Hotel, Sundance B&B, or camping on the Kiowa Grasslands, or at Mills canyon. If your 5th wheel isnt huge I bet you can get it in the camp spaces at the top of Mills Canyon. The Pronghorn numbers...

Hey, thanks guys! I havent checked this thread in a while. We drew the Burros again for Coues so maybe I can find the Granddad of the one posted above! Really though there are 3 other guys going with me that deserve the big one if we can find him. Anyone else going to the Burros this year?

I feel NPS would eventually rule out hunting. They promote preservation and wilderness. The USFS promotes conservation and multiple use. Very different management styles! The USFS should manage the property more in line with most of "our" own desires including public access, wildlife, logging...

Congrats! Thats a heck of a hunt. I cant wait for the day I or someone I know draws for that hunt again, it would be a blast.

I would also suggest getting the horses in mountain shape and make sure you can pack one with an elk. If they are in good shape they will help you cover a lot more ground in the high altitude areas. She will have a great time I'm sure of it. There are a lot of elk in there, just make sure she...

I be Chasin Coues again!! Our group drew the Burros late hunt. Bring it on! I also drew a cow elk hunt that I didnt know i put in for! Damn dyslexia! Not sure how to make that one work cause its the same time as the Coues hunt. Nothing else green, dang it. Wife and son struck out also. They...

Oh, also you can down load a 243 with an 87gn Vmax to ~2800fps and it does an awesome job on deer and antelope within 200 yards. Get them in as close as possible, thats a big part of the excitement anyway!

.222 with a 60gn Partition The bullet exited on 2 of 3. He has since graduated to a 243 that he used to take a mule deer and a cow elk with in the last two years. Recoil is definately a factor for some people more than others. The most important thing to me is to not teach them to...

Oh, here it goes again. The OP asked if there had been an increase in applications and as usual it has turned into a bash the land owner, bash the non resident, and bash the game and fish session. Hey guys, THIS REALLY GETS OLD!

With only one Cougar Zone closed and only a few days left in the year why dont they change all Cougar tags to year round? Here's what we should do: Kill more cats Kill more coyotes Burn more country Reduce tags Make it rain!

I have heard the G&F mention several times that some units are managed for "trophy quality" and some are managed for "hunter opportunity" when talking about deer. Some believe that second management style came about because a lot of people in this state were complaining about not being able to...

With all the factors against the mule deer in this state cutting tags makes sense in some heavily hunted areas although as said earlier they are still declining in areas that have not had any or very little harvest. Habitat degradation and predation are the two biggest impacts on the population...

I have been looking over the Canadian canyon fairly often and have not seen one yet. There is a guy who leased a ranch over south of Farmington that supposedly could harvest 5 barbary per year per the lease. That tells me there are some, but with the size of the place and only allowing 5 tells...

just to throw in my 2 cents. If they would go to multiple seasons for nannies, I would hope they would place them in the months following the billy hunts and give all of them a rest prior to the start of hunts in the fall.

Wasnt it said somewhere that the estimated population was 900 and desired population was 400? If those numbers are correct they only reached half the reduction needed! It may happen again next year!

My opinion is to drive it stock as long as possible to see if the factory equipment is going to work for you and switch as soon as the warranty is off or the DPF causes problems. Voiding the warranty can screw a guy, but so can the DPF. You might want to buy the H&S/pipe quickly because like was...

Valle Vidal and Sargents! A lot of elk in those units.

This deal basically took a crap on the guy who sits and studied maps and then walks his a.. off to get into a good spot. Just another case of throwing a good hunting spot out the window.

I highly recommend the Goal Zero guide 10+. Although I havent used mine a lot (only had it a year) it seems to be the solution for phone charging.If you use your phone as a gps with something like the Back Country navigator app you have to charge it frequently. The battery pack will charge AA...

So how does this not impede on private property rights? Requiring landowners to give public access across their privately owned acres will be a nightmare. Some tracts of public land may be worth the investment to purchase small acreages to connect them with other public lands or access, but it...

+1 Backcountry Pro is the best map app I have found for android. It replaced my Garmin that has hunting gps maps installed on it.

Holy........What the.......I dont get it. Who thinks up this crap?

Boskee, Well said. That is exactly what I was trying to get across earlier. Thanks!

Struck a nerve I see! http://www.rei.com/stewardship/report/2011/community/rei-foundation.html Now I didn't say they were directly against hunting did I? Somebody needs to learn to read and re-read BEFORE reacting. I have been to their store while wearing a hunting related logo hat and was...

Very nice animals. Man two awesome trophies in a year will be tough to do ever again! I may have the wrong place, but in the picture of the deer I can almost hear Rick saying "Now try not to smash too many of those chile plants while you're taking pictures!"

Here's my take on them. They support organizations that I believe are against my way of life. So in retribution to that I will go to their store, shop for gear (try things on, inspect workmanship, check specifications, etc) then put it back on the shelf and buy it from another hunting friendly...

I hunted the second rifle hunt last year. Put some distance between you and the roads and the odds go up a lot. I passed on a 340 the first day and it bit me! Three of us were hunting and all killed 6x6's but not one was over 300. I was going to wait til the fourth day before I would kill...

The correct pronunciation is "cows", but if you say it that way people will look at you funny! OP, Nice buck, and with a bow no less. Dang!

There are also a lot of gps maps free on gpsfiledepot.com. I bought the huntinggpsmaps version a few years ago, but have since found the free maps and use them on most gps'. Huntinggpsmaps are little easier to read, but other than that they seem to have the same info. The free site has GMU...

Well, we had the meeting last night and are still discussing the formation of a chapter if anyone is interested. I know it will be a small chapter but we are looking to raise any money we can for Habitat work and youth conservation education. It will be a fun venture in the long run.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-24-12 AT 11:18AM (MST)[p]I guess all Dodges are POS' so you all should sell them to me cheap so i can fix them and drive the hell out of them! My family has 5 Dodge 2500's with solid axles a 98, 06, two 07's, and an 08. The 98 is the only gas engine the rest are Cummins...

We are trying to get a MDF chapter going in the North East corner of NM and are having an organizational meeting with a rep from MDF August 30 beginning at 7pm at the Community Building in Roy, NM. If anyone in the area would like to participate in this venture please come to the meeeting. We...

Not sure where you hunted, but it should not be that way. You correct that not many private boundaries are posted. Public antelope hunters can not access state land on any other ranch unless they are issued a unit wide tag and they have landowner trespass permission or public right of way...
