My nephew drew Clark/Kingston’s desert sheep this year. I will be helping him. Would anyone that has hunted this hunt be willing to help me with some places to scout? I will be spending many weeks scouting and helping my nephew on his hunt. Send me a message and I’ll reply with my phone number...

Nice graphic. Where did you get it. Lol. I made it.

Do you know it is Goat because Goat is the only OIL you applied for or did you receive an email? I got charged for OIL but I applied for five species and haven’t received an email yet so don’t know which I drew.

I have looked over both NM Department of Game and Fish's and WSMRs proposals very closely. I have tallied the permit numbers for each proposal by permit type. I greatly prefer NMDGF's proposal. I think WSMRs proposal is a very bad idea. I also think that WSMR contractors are out of line to be...

I can assure you that Stan will not deposit you on top of a mountain and then redeposit you on top of another one. Or fly around looking for sheep to assasinate. I agree that that would not be cool at all and I wouldn't be party to it. Not only because it is illegal but who would want to do it...

Congrats on your upcoming hunt with MacKenzie Mountain Outfitters. You are going to have a fantastic time. Helen and Stan and crew are wonderful people. I went with them for Dall sheep and Caribou in 2016. I am going back again for Dall Sheep this year. As to the helicopter, I have been on 10...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-12-17 AT 07:30PM (MST)[p]I think the percent progress bar on AZGF website refers to the complete draw progress. There are 5 steps, so 20% each. Payment processing is third step, 60%. I could be wrong but that's how I read it. It's confusing because if payment processing is...

You can camp on AZ state trust land. Check their website.

>My portal account shows pending what >does that mean? It just means you applied.

>I'm a resident of Montana with >the max "points" for sheep, >and my chances of drawing >aren't viable either. Feel better? >mtmuley The point of my post is that as a resident you know that your application is in the drawing for an actual permit. You are getting exactly what you paid for...

There is one fact about the MT sheep (Moose/Goat) drawing that many people are not aware of. A nonresident can duly apply for a unit that is listed on the MT application as tentatively having a nonresident tag available but end up applying for a hunt code that ends up with no tag available for...

Great pictures and video. I am booked with Art and Crystal next year for Stone Sheep. Your pictures and video make me even more excited. I guess I'm accidentally following you around as I am booked for sheep this year with Stan and Helen at MMO this year.

Dennis Otero at Majestic Monarchs is the best sheep taxidermist in NM. He is a true sheep and goat specialist. People talk about taxidermists being "artists" but most are not. Dennis actually is an artist. He is a fabulous painter and sculptor. The only taxidermy I have regretted is the...

As WapitiBob points out, the proposal as written results in less tags actually drawn by Nonresidents because we NR are going to be unlikely to draw many of the 5% moved to the 1-2 pass. As a group we lose but as an individual a nonres could either win or lose based on their point level. If they...

Great comments William. Good ideas. I especially like the asterisk idea. I have been buying the enhanced draw data off and on for years through public information requests and AZ makes it difficult to truly figure out how many points nonresidents have to draw for a given hunt code. At least...

One comment that keeps coming up is that by making it harder for nonresidents to draw, somehow New Mexico's hunting will be ruined. If AZ is an example, that is backwards. AZ is be many measures the most restrictive state in the west for nonresidents. Up to 10%. No outfitter tags. No landowner...

Here is the language from the presidential proclamation that created the grand staircase-escalante national monument in Utah: "Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to diminish the responsibility and authority of the State of Utah for management of fish and wildlife, including regulation...

There is an article in the Albuquerque Journal today about the new Monument. Heinrich and Udall introduced a bill in congress to create the Monument that couldn't get passed so Obama just created it by executive order. Same as the Rio Grande del Norte. An amazing comment in the article is...

I hope they allow hunting. I don't like it. Udall and Heinrich have never seen a piece of dirt that they don't think the Feds should own. It seems to be hit or miss on hunting in nat'l monuments. I hunted the Paunsagaunt in UT and a huge part of the unit is the Grand Staircase Escalante Nat'l...

In the 2014 drawing for Bighorn Sheep the NM Department of Game and Fish decided to set aside 1 ram rocky sheep permit for an outfitted applicant in each of the two hunt codes that had 4 such permits. This was improper in my opinion, but they did it and its reasonable that nonresidents drew...

It's a joke....

I had heard that there was a permit issued in the not too distant past that went to a nonresident. That must have been it. I think that MT can award very few NR sheep permits and comply with their quota rules. If residents draw all the permits before nonresidents in hunt codes that...

Socorro, quemado. Springerville, alpine then 191 in my opinion is a good route. Good blend of road quality and scenery and travel time. The plains of San Augustin with the VLA between Magdalena and quemado are cool to see. Hwy 191 is windey but pretty good road otherwise. I-10 a lot easier...

No. Draw report is not out. They wouldn't let me look at it. They just read the results I was interested in to me.

Did you guys have wheeler or latir on ram hunts on your applications? Whoops if you did. The gave out nonresident tags for those two hunt codes....

2_Point, Thanks for your post. Don't let those goofballs get to you. They are of that class of people that just spew out unsubstantiated garbage that is not based upon any facts or research. Anyone that can do simple arithmetic can figure out that UT always does the 10% NR quota math fairly...

Elkman, The school issue is the same for nonres and res. Apples to Apples still. Scratch that one off the list. My kids are in fall athletics and are very high academic achievers. All have been accepted to very selective colleges (2 Ivy leagers and one nonresident to Univ Texas-Austin...

Backdoor 100% for my 12 applications for me and the kiddos. 1 Deer Archery, 1 Ibex Archery, 1 Barbary Rifle.

I only go where the numbers lead me. If you have a better explanation, I am listening. It a fairly well controlled numerical analysis but I could have missed something. Let me know if you figure out what it might be. Otherwise the facts speak for themselves.

elkshinj2, Thanks for setting me straight. Your description of how to hunt there is perfect for Pecos sheep too!

HornedToad, Am I happy that a kid from NM drew the NM youth Desert Bighorn Sheep tag? You better believe it. Am I happy that another kid from NM will draw the NM youth Rocky tag this year? A resounding yes! Am I happy that one of my friends/hunting buddies actually knows and has done...

Sticksender, You bet. I always want to know what is really going in in any drawings I participate in. Like you, I'm going to keep applying. I always thought that the 0 in the NR quota column on one of non resident hunt codes that was on the nonresident applications for that year meant they...

I'm sorry to be a toad, but it does matter if they are residents. Good for the nonresidents that drew them, but better for the residents. Seeing that a NM kid has the youth Desert tag has made my week. I have to correct a statement I made earlier. In 2012 a nonresident drew the youth...

elkshinj2, Are you talking about Pecos or Fra Cristobals? Did your son take that giant Pecos ram. Either way, its pretty awesome when your kid draws a tag like this....
