I won a preference point! Oh boy!

Ah thank you. After further study I see the NR caps are hit before the hybrid draw so it's useless for NR's for elk and deer. Was gonna point out anyway so i guess i did that. LOL...

non res but some were outfitter draw. Still very lucky Oh yeah i had a sandhills rifle deer tag too.

I expect nothing, have been more lucky than I deserve. OIL ibex, oryx, elk in 16d and 16 e twice and a 36 archery deer tag. I still put in though so when I draw the sheep tag I can REALLY piss everyone off. :p

Uh...where? all the cow hunts I see are like 2500-3500 + license. Saw a late season sale for the low price of $1500 + license. EYE ROLL EMOJI

that WAS the case a few years ago that there were a handful of units with decent public land. Winter kill and too many tags in the opportunity units crushed them. Tags got cut and my 5 point unit I was a sure thing to draw last year suddenly took 9 points. I'll look at the odds but I think...

It will get worse before it gets better. With the silly requirement non-residents use a guide in the wilderness area, they have a monopoly on a large part of the state - and their fees are skyrocketing. We have been watching one hunt and building elk points for about 6 years now (13, no mans...

unit 9 elk unit 34 barbs 2c deer pronghorn - non resident tags are fictional does not matter where you put in. And yeah, i'd be sweating holding the OIL ibex tag. Bow tag just trying to kill a good one not the biggest on the mountain. I hear tell there's a monster 1 horn running around still...

I've used Kiowa and 505 in the past but havent drawn a tag on either one so not sure about 2 day service package. Have hunted fully guided with Kiowa on deer and ibex and they did a good job on both. As mentioned 505 prices went up which I do not begrudge them at all BUT I am gonna look...

Tough hunt with lower densities to be sure and it requires a lot of luck to get one solo any more. Sorry it didnt work out!

not mine, but a couple from Garcia shop

Major Wildlife studio in Las Cruces did my Ibex and it turned out great. Garcia taxidermy in Alamogordo does a great job with Oryx and pronghorn.

This is akin to putting up Christmas lights right now, should be a misdemeanor.

nice one, thick up top!

I'm trying to decide between these two brands, I had a Leica 1000 I bought in 2010 that is likely in the belly of farmer john's cow in SE MT currently. Sig has a lot of ranging options, I dont need all the bluetoothy stuff, just something that will range a small target at 1000 yards if...

zeiss rapid Z. Idiot proof to 800 yards. And I'm an idiot so it works.

Congratulations! Good work, 5 days can be a difficult hunt in any unit if the conditions aren't great, good job getting that tag punched!

THICC - u tape him? just curious

If you drive through Datil, stop and see this one at the gas station, if it's still hanging. Not sure where it was killed but assume close by.

Nice bull, congrats!

Yep. G & F caps NR tags and ill draw this one less than every 30 years statistcally. If u draw OIL are you pocketing it or making the best of your tag based on conditions in the year you drew?

dont disagree at all, the rules are pretty silly. but SCI gives u a more true comparison of one animal to another. Freaky is more fun than big, true with women too.

State park probably best bet for camper. You will be driving round and round and stopping to glass up, use the biggest spotter you can. Then up and up some more once you find them and back down to find another group. As mentioned, numbers are way down, a mid 40's billy is not one to pass up...

If it's a point over an inch you can count it.

I drew a NR doe tag with less than 3.5% odds but blanked the buck tag with 54% odds (based on last years numbers). They had a secondary offering for existing tag holders for an additional doe tag only good in 704 and 705. Overall numbers are completely decimated. I hunted same areas 4 years...

They issued me 2 doe tags, I will poke around 705 next couple days

Is that even possible? I thought NM outfitters had to have their business/residency registered in NM. Big stink and court case about that a few years back from AZ guys that used to come over and work both. But I don't remember what all the final rulings were.....

Tall buck!

that's hilarious. all ginn'd up for a cover girl!

crypto gains sloshing around all asset classes

Thanks for letting us follow along, most exciting thing to happen around these parts in a while! Archery mule deer is an exercise in frustration. You have to do everything right and then get a little lucky too.

Smarba can you post some harvest pics of any billies? I just like looking at them. Thanks!

Outstanding buck. Ivory tips, good prongs, and a great cape. Staring at one right now in my office that looks alot like him, might make the 3 year book if you haven't put a tape on him yet!

How was the Dec Chap hunt other than hot?

Nanny/kid slaughter "population" hunts and bad counts. Incentive hunts - bring in your nanny and get in a drawing for a Billy. It's beyond time to stop those. Predators also got fat when there was a bunch of them running around - lions. Now there are less, the lions are hunting them...
