I Swung by his cabin this year, hoping to see him... Tell him "Nate" said hello ! Good guy... miss his input here on MM.

https://www.davistent.com/ Check out Davis Tent, out of Colorado I much prefer their doors, windows and overall quality. They made me a custom 12x18 in the off-season and it does quite well with a wood stove...

Oh-yeah! ..and on vid. to boot! Congratulations!

I hope every Deer and Elk hunter on here has filed a comment... If you want a population to hunt, you must have fawn and calf recruitment... but hey, ignore NM, apex predators.

Very nice! Congratulations !

One point that is never discussed: it is not in the interest of the State to do away with e-plus. I hope I can explain it well enough.... small business owners will understand immediately --CRS! If a UW tag in 34 is sold to an out of state hunter for $12,000, how much money does the State...

“Ultimately, hunters aren’t really necessary to manage wildlife, Kevin Bixby told Outdoor Life last year. Bixby is the executive director of Wildlife For All, a New Mexico-based group that’s pushing for state wildlife reform, with roots in animal-rights, rewilding, and deep ecology campaigns.”...

The deadline to provide comments on the BLM Proposed Rule, has been extended and is now, July 5, 2023.

Is our State going to be the linchpin for the end of Hunting the West as we know it? https://www.abqjournal.com/2572359/blm-conservation.html

If the BLM adds "conservation" as an equal footing mandate and then enters public-private leasing... the income from any 'outfitter' is going to be pennies to the dollar. According to Forbes, The Nature Conservancy had a "Total Revenue: $1.8B" last year. According to Zippia, Defenders of...

The American Bar Association, distills the proposal down to these four points: " The proposed rule includes four major changes to the existing regulatory scheme utilized by the BLM. The first is the placement of “conservation” on equal footing with the other multiple uses that BLM land is...

Well Dave, "The proposed rule would also create a new conservation leasing program administered through FLPMA. Under the proposed rule, BLM could authorize conservation leases in order to restore, enhance, or mitigate degradation of public lands. Such leases could be issued to individuals...

Is anyone on top of the "New Proposal" being pushed by the current Director of the BLM? A Proposed Rule by the Land Management Bureau Our Land Office Commissioner, Stephanie Garcia Richard, just testified before Congressional Sub-committee on the "health of public lands ". Are we hunters...

What can be learned when the calf kicks you the second time?

Then there's this crap!

I prefer a heavy lug Vibram sole, gradated full shank , low ankle, no insulation boot. (think Lowa Tibet, Scarpa Kinesis) In my two decades of elk archery, only one time did I go stocking foot --the heard was bedded late morning, I had to close 90yds, and it made the difference.

How can a person claim to be for hunting if they then limit the ability for a novice to borrow a firearm and try the sport? As a State we need to do better, MUCH BETTER!

"extreme right, extreme left" What do you call the man who supports: Tax Cuts, Lowering the top earners tax rate, rabid Anti-communist, Second Amendment supporter and NRA member? I call him President Kennedy.

Just a thought. When is NM going to wake up and fire the entire Forest Service (at least the Santa Fe and Lincoln in a 10yr. trial run) and hire the Mescalero Nation to actually manage the national forests?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in conjunction with Ted Turner & the Turner Endangered Species Fund, proposes the translocation of one adult pair of Mexican wolves with dependent pups ~ 6 weeks old on the Ladder Ranch – Turner Reserve Property. full proposal pdf link The plan has been...

I disagree with this statement, it would be convenient IF true but unfortunately it's not. Years ago, I was sitting at a bar when a WELL Known NM politician came in with two staff members. They were flying high and having a really good time... By and by, the elected person announces to one of...

Let's not forget, the Floridas are BLM and that Federal entity has a big say in the ranges management, especially when it comes to introduced species. The reason for the initial slaughter was because of overpopulation, you could see it by the browse line on every shrub that was there. The year...

Big Game Draw 2022 Webinar Series - Access is the Key! We will meet virtually every week, sometimes multiple times a week, to discuss the draw, how to apply, options for hunter education and read the draw odds report. We will also have our big game biologists on hand to answer questions. In...

Congratulations, awesome memories!!

Congratulations, y'all seem to always make your time together count.

MLG has jumped officially on board: "The governor says the executive order will create what's known as a “30 by 30” committee to evaluate conservation and environmental efforts of all New Mexico lands. Gov. Lujan Grisham says that the committee will work to conserving 30% of all land in New...

The once theoretical threat that the state could—on a whim—demonstrate that the businessman or CITIZEN does not truly own his or her property has become more real than ever this last year.

""One reason many nonresidents care about this failure is that it is a foothold in one state that emboldens the same bad actors to push the same policies in other states. Trapping is such an easy and visceral/visual topic for them to take advantage of and they hit a home run with it. Once...

Kicking each other in the nutz... meanwhile in the united anti-hunting world...

Melanie A. Stansbury, State House Representative NM House District 28, actually wrote me back and has been the only one to do so. " Thank you so much for taking the time to write and share your thoughts. I very much appreciate it. "

If trapping is banned, how long before "hunters" are on here wondering where all their Deer are..... smh.

Another question, one that I have not seen asked. How are counties like Taos going to make up the revenue lost if Gross Receipts Tax (ie.,sales tax) goes down? "*** Current New Mexico Sales Tax will be added to all Private and Draw Hunt Pricing. " This quote comes straight from USO's page. Now I...

And all will be passed on party lines...

It is very sad, that we 'sportsmen' stand around and kick each other in the nuts; while PETA, Defenders of Wildlife, and other fully committed Anti-hunting groups laugh at us.

When NMWF supports the same agendas as radicle anti-hunting orgs., WildEarth Guardians and Defenders of Wildlife, your eyes better be WIDE open! And while I am on it, why are ALL of these anti-hunting bills sponsored by Democrats??? will NM wake up?

Why do I continue to view Conservation as dying in NM?

I have already had a very negative interaction with a bigoted to hunting bureaucrat. And the way things are going--it's going to get worse! As my CPA said "If you are audited, it's my fight!" How much liability do you want to take on by yourself when your family and assets are in a bureaucrats...
