Does anyone know what DSC New Mexico does (besides host raffles)? They have never gone to a game commission meeting, they have never been present at the legislature. They weren't there fighting coyote trapping or coyote contests (one of the only sporting groups that fought this was New Mexico...

If you could only have 1 successful draw in NM (the rest is a sea of RED) this year which would prefer. A lot of us put in for many species, but if you got your wish which would be your favorite one for this year? You only get one choice.

There was a thread in the elk forum that got me thinking about this question instead. What is the closest you have ever missed an animal at? What animal and what weapon? Mine is deer at 30 yards with archery. Seen my nephew miss a giant muley at 12 yards with a bow. Heartbreaking. Brother...

I thought some of you may be interested in this. $15,000 credit towards a hunting or fishing trip. https://www.nmoutfitters.com/events.html

When draw results came out I was thinking it was going to be a good year of hunting, but man it was a great month of hunting. My wife's hunt was first. She drew her first bow hunt. She practiced everyday for 45 straight days. When the moment came she made a perfect 45 yd shot. I was very proud...

I am helping a rancher sell access to a private land mule deer hunt in central New Mexico. It is in Unit 39 and the ranch is about 8,000 acres in size. This hunt is happening soon so if you are interested please let me know. The hunt dates for this hunt is Nov 5-9, 2022. The rancher just...

Sometimes people ask why we hunt or why we mount our "trophies". Trophies and what they represent sometimes are priceless. And when I say trophies it is not always the biggest one that brings us the biggest smiles and best memories. Sometimes there was not even a harvest. 2019 was one of...

My son drew his first deer hunt and he was very excited. He did a great job practicing. We spotted this buck about 3/4 mile out and moved in. We watched them for about an hour before we made our final move. We had to crawl the last 140 yards and he made a great shot at 289 yards. Dropped the...

I posted these in the taxidermy forum but not sure how many of go into that one. Here are some skulls I have carved over the last year. I like the added touch it adds to a Euro mount. A steer skull I did. My son's javelina My nephews deer.

Is there a way to NOT get the notifications that someone else posted on the post you posted on. If that makes sense. I like getting it when they reply straight to my post, but don't really want the ones that say every time someone posted on a post that I posted on. THanks

I have started carving some skulls I have around the house. Thoughts?

LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-19 AT 12:40PM (MST)[p]How do you guys go about finding out if a road is truly a country road? There are those roads that seem like they end at a house, but continues through. How are you guys finding out if the roads beyond houses and gates are still country roads? They are...

My son finished hunter education last year and we were putting him in for hunts. He tells me "Dad I want to draw out for something." So I told him we would put him in for Javelina and I decided since he was going to put in for Javelina that I would also. It was the only thing that I could pretty...

I am curious to see other thoughts on this. There is a bill to increase the cost of Hunting and Fishing License. It is something I feel has to happen, just with the cost of living increasing. I know many have stated that they would not mind a price increase in order to make up the money it takes...

Not the start I was hoping for. Banning coyote contests on State Land right off the bat. Not a good start.

My nephew asks were to apply for antelope for him and his girlfriend back when they were putting in for the draw and I tell him where ever you want, you probably won't draw anyway. Then we narrow it down some, as luck would have it his girlfriend ended up drawing out and we got to go pronghorn...

My wife has a business trip to Bozeman and we decided to make a family trip out of it. My kids are set on catching some big fish but I don't know where to start. They are younger (4, 7, and 9) but love fishing and have done it pretty often here in New Mexico. Any help would be appreciated also...

I am a New Mexico resident but heard that Arizona has a chance to loose their Mountain lion hunt. I came here to find more out, but I am unable to find anything on here. I thought it would be all over on the Arizona page. I know there are a couple of New Mexico organizations helping with this...

Anyone used these or checked these binoculars out? What did you think of them?

I went back and forth with whether to post this story or not. I have finally decided to post it, I feel that the New Mexico page is in need of a good hunting story. This is the story of my nephew Xavier's archery deer hunt. We had went out a couple of different times on this hunt and had...

Reminder that the Meeting to discuss the Closure of the Felix Canyon Road is Thursday 9AM, in Roswell at the Administrative Center, 1 St Mary's Place. This closure would effect access to public land in Unit 32. We can't afford to lose access to any public land. Hopefully people can make it...

Anyone on here doing any coyote hunting using dogs. I have watched these videos and it looks like a blast. I would love to give this a try, but have no idea where to start with the dogs. I have a dog that loves chasing coyotes, but he will chase them for a mile and they never have any intention...

I tried to piggy back on another post to get this answered with no luck so I thought I would give it it's own post. If you have a range finder that calculates for uphill and downhill will you still hit high or low? So if I am shooting down a steep canyon and the range finder tells me 300yds...

So couple of questions. First off is there better breeds then others to turn into shed hunting dogs. I have a boarder collie, would he learn it. At what age is to old for a dog to learn this trade. Also how do you go about teaching a dog to find sheds. Do you just play fetch with sheds rather...

Congrats guys on being contest winners. Elksniper for his hunt adventures, which I enjoyed reading. And to passthrough for his massive elk picture. Beautiful elk.

When I found out I didn't draw for a single thing this year, I was more then disappointed, but who would have thought that I would have my best and funnest year of hunting yet. I was very disappointed when I saw all red, didn't take me long though to find out that my niece had draw two tags, my...

Well I guess more like cut bighorn sheep and elk. Hope you all have a good April Fools. Sorry it was getting a little slow around here.

How big would a barbary have to be for you guys to be willing to pay for a mount? Thanks

I had to do something that involved wildlife while I was waiting for the draw results to come out, so I went in the shop and starting messing around. This is what I came up with. Had fun getting my mind off the draw for a bit. and here it is without sunset background

In my state they now have a year round season on Mountain Lion and I was wondering if you got one in June or July would it still make a good mount or would the hair be to thin.

Now that the mountain lion hunt is year round, Would a mountain lion that is killed in June or July make a good mount or would the hair not look good. Thanks

It is good to see stiffer punishments possible happening. From Game and Fish website http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/publications/press_releases/documents/2013/031413sb73.html

What have you guys noticed with the elk migrating to lower country? Do they wait til the snow actually falls or do they move the same time of year regardless of the snow fall.

Does anyone know when the refunds will come? That's all I have to look forward to this year.

First time I have ever got skunked and man it stinks. 0 for 7 for me.

My nephew got his first deer. It was a New Mexico whitetail and it was a good one. He got it on Thanksgiving weekend. Here is a picture of him and his dad. Here is the whole crew Then the next weekend I was supposed to take the niece deer hunting for her first time, but then her mom had...

Here is the jack o lantern I made today. http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/6759pict0741.jpg

Just got my oryx back from the taxi and was thinking it would be nice to see what others have. Does not matter what animals, just thought it would be good to see what other people have. Here is my oryx Here is my deer

I wanted to start a post for anyone wanting to trade thier firearm for a different one. You never know if someone has just what you want and you have just what they want. For instance I have a Remington 270 bolt action, but I already have enough riffles (not that you can ever have enough), but...

Thought you guys might like to see my jack o lantern this year. I actually call it the Buck O Lantern
