People float down the rivers in innertubes and air boats and the ground is private. This is the same concept. Fishing a private dock or rip rap put in by a land owner on public water. Hell people access land locked public land by water all time. If this case went the other way it would of opened...

Guy is on the side with the outfitters. A few outfitters are gonna be looking for jobs soon. Public land should be public plan and simple. Corner crossing 5-8 miles and shooting a elk would not be for everyone. having to pack out exactly to a corner would be the real deal.

10 years and still no elk tag, but that is the odds and I love new Mexico. Usaully draw a tag every 3 years for something out of the 4 or 5 species a year I apply. Did draw my 3rd choice deer in a relatively easy unit to draw. Should be a fun hunt. "So your telling me I have a chance!!"

Altai Argali or a marco polo would be hard to beat if its my last hunt. But can you imagine 10 days chasing bugling bulls in the san carlos after not being hunted for 5years. Those guides get to live out my dream every year.

Follow what old horn said. Make sure to use deer stops. I like cam locks and kill springs. 5/64ths is harder for them to see than 3/32 but they will break off a few. Find pinch points to set them in or holes in fence lines. I don't know your terrain but I love worn down cattle trials and trails...

Sweet Bull that's for sure. Congrats

2 years in a row. All red. Well at least that wait is over. On to Utah.

OTC for TX. Draw units and OTC units in NM

I would have to agree with Muleman I did a Barbary hunt in new Mexico on public land a couple years ago. It was guided and we crawled all over those desolate rocks to find a mature ram. Covered close to 70 miles on foot. Pack out was14miles. A public land hunt is no joke. I am totally hooked, it...

From what I have been told. We had a gut shoot a ewe this year in Nebraska thinking it was a mule deer. Never under estimate stupidity. 20,000 for the fine.

Scheels and Fleet farm are the last hope. Jonny buying out all the competition in retail and 1/2 the boat companies in the us is trying to eliminate all the other mid size companies for a tax right off. He has ruined cabelas and a lot of families lively hood. I don't care what he says in public...

I would agree with the low 300s and looks to be real young. He also looks to have good threes and good main beams. Genetics look good he could be a really nice bull in a couple years. Location is the deal for me, if this is Colorado public shoot him. If its central Arizona I'd hold out.

Thanks for sharing it was a awesome thread!! And Congrats!!

This thread is awesome!! I hope you guys connect!!

Congrats he is a monster!!!

Looks like you guys had a Blast. Congrats!!!

Congrats. I hope to be still after them at that age. Amazing

All red:cry::cry: Until next year. I cant wait to read about every ones hunts.

My narrow feet love my zamberlan's. They really held up good going through a lot of rock this year I am impressed. I have not heard a single good review, from a serious outdoors man or woman about kenetrek.

I'll take any of my apps green. And I need a excuse to get back down there and pick up some more of those green chilies too.

28" plus I would say would be like a 160-170 deer anything over 30 is a true giant. My guide has hunted them since the first season opened, probably guided hundreds of people over the years. He had a seasoned eye for size. The mass changes a lot from 24 to 28+ and of course the size of the body...

I had it made into sticks and sausage by a local locker, it tastes great. Texture is different than deer for sure. I don't think i would eat it with out processing though, probably the same for any animal that can live this long, with a few exceptions.

Finally spending some time sharing another great story from this past year. Ill try to keep it short and sweet.(LOL) So I got sheep fever last year and debated on west Texas or New Mexico. And went with guided pool public land New Mexico because I guess I wanted to suffer a little or a lot. I...

WoW!!!

Great bull. Thanks for the story. I would love to draw that tag someday.

Well done!!

You will draw one some day know that there is points. One of my good friends has been in the draw 27 years too. He wouldn't even go with me he was so mad. I had max points.

That is a sweet pic. Mother nature at its finest.

>Man, talk about mass! He >is COOL! That sounds >like a really great hunt, >I'll bet that was great >with him being so vocal > It was crazy. I wish I had somebody video taping; but it was an experience I will never forget.

I would start getting points for a bull. I had put in for 6 years and had max points. But i do know a guy who got a tag his first year applying, so you never know. Getting permission is more important than learning the units, its not easy but the game and parks has landowner lists and if you...

Once in a life time Tag. Once in a life time Bull. With a once in a life time story. I set up in a fence line to call at a bull bugling in the distance and not only did he respond but one bugled 50 yards from me behind a small knob. Problem was he was on the wrong side of the fence. So as soon...

Sweet Video! And a great bull congrats.

I would have to agree with muleman; NM G&F runs the best draw for sure. This post is getting me fired up to see my heart broken or i'm going to feel like Ralphie opening up that red rider bb gun.

Love those smiles. Congrats to you two!!

Oss for me.(worth checking out) I really like the flow through design. Keeps my rifle clean because of no blow back. Also my oss suppressor does not heat up like my friends suppressors do. you can rifle through the rounds on the range and still touch your can.

Wow!!! Congratulations on a animal of a lifetime!

All red. I'll have to wait another year. When one door closes another may open.

No problem. I just posted a brief story and pic in the New Mexico forum.
