    MonsterCoues.

    My buddy Tony gave me permission to share this photo on MM. Cant tell you how excited I am for him. After joining him on a tough 16A archery hunt a couple weekends he had built up some luck. Yes that's his happy face. :) He saw this buck last year briefly. He was actually preparing to...

    Down to the last second

    Got this guy in the final seconds of my ML hunt. Had been in bulls every day of the hunt and just couldn't close the deal. Muzzle loaders with open sites are way different then having a scope. If you need reading glasses, you have a choice between seeing the target or the sites clearly. For...

    Wyoming adventures

    First I want to thank the members of this forum that gave me such excellent intel for this hunt. Its never real till you actually get there, but, the intel was solid and I can only hope that I can return the favor someday. I call it the WY curse. The craziest and weirdest things happen to me...

    Elk 16-1 be hunting elk there this year

    Seeing if any of my WY friends have any thoughts or input. Plan on doing some solo hunting up there in both seasons. Hoping my son can meet up with me a few days as well. If decent weather will probably pack in as part of the plan. I doubt if it is an option, but, also interested in paying...

    Draw must be getting close

    Every year you can tell as traffic on this forum peaks that the draws are coming. Just remember rude comments and disrespecting your fellow hunter upsets the Hunting Gods and you wont get nothing but red. You'll be stuck hunting ducks this fall.:eek::ROFLMAO:

    Son's AZ bull

    Before anything else, the big takeaway from this hunt was the help we got from our friend Jeff. Going into a new unit is hard and Jeff pointed us in the right direction and was always there to bounce ideas off of. And once the bull was down him and his 14 year old son hiked up the mountain...

    Caught a deer in CO

    Picked up a CO landowner tag day before the hunt at a bit of a discount. Got some great help from guys on the site, but, in the end the little piece of private (160 acres) is where I shot him. I hunted public in the morning and the piece of private at night. Fun learning a new unit, and will...

    3rd season deer

    Picked up this tag off a craigslist ad this morning for a small window I have to go hunting next week. Last second thing. Never hunted this area before and know its not a premium unit, but, its a chance to go hunting. If anyone has any experience with this deer hunt on public land I would...

    Daughter in Law's monster 5

    WHAT a DINOSAUR!!!!! This hunt was 90 minutes away from being one of the most frustrating hunts I have ever been on. Instead it was one of the most incredible. Only regret was that her dad Brent wasn’t there for Sidni’s perfect shot to seal the deal. Sidni, Zach and Brent never let up the entire...

    Sons muzzle loader bull

    Great long weekend. Everyone worked hard and Zach made a great stalk to kill this bull 350 yards with a muzzle loader. He found him at about 7:30 in morning I had to pull out of my glassing spot, met up with him at 9:00. Zach did a couple mile loop to get over bedding area. Eventually found them...

    1st Season Archery bull

    Sure would be nice if this forum got back to posting pictures of NM animals taken. This is my first season Archery bull. All but 2 of my archery bulls have been solo and one of those 2 Zach was only 8 years old so it was kinda solo. LOL This was on the 2nd to last day and I passed taking shots...

    Rain!!

    South East NM, specifically the Sacramento Mountains have been getting hammered since early June. On track to be the best rain year I have ever experienced here. How is the rest of the state? Has to be pretty good also.

    Big fire in Unit 36

    Gonna be a big one I am thinking with the winds forcasted. I can see this being very destructive to structures. Lots of evacuations currently. Might be a chance to find a 36 tag from someone that panics and sells it.

    Crane talk

    We drew crane tags in Deming area on Jan 2nd and 3rd. Not bird hunters, but, sure would like to just see one of those big dinosaurs fall out of the sky if lucky enough to hit one and then eat it. Plan was to get there a day early and try to find birds and then ask the farmers if we can hunt...

    Son's Arizona Coues

    We had a helluva November. We had packed in about an hour in the dark. First stop to glass saw a few does. Next stop a couple smaller bucks. Then at around 7:30 glassed up a buck over 1000 yards away and we at first we couldn't decide if he was a shooter. Then Zach got a look at his brow...

    My CO buck. Best in a long time

    This hunt was everything I could ask for. I cant thank Cmbulldog and my son enough. These guys drove in from all over to help me, went on stupid hikes with me, got up at 3:30 to do it, ground it out as hard or harder than me to help me find a good buck. After eating 2 elk tags already this year...

    Elk hunt turned into a bear hunt

    Got lucky and ran into this nice boar. Elk have been a little slow, but, they are gonna rev up soon. Had a stalk on a great bull first day, would have easily been my personal best. Just good to be in the woods.

    2020 Hunting season officially kicked off for us

    My brother from MS had an Oryx hunt today. Good times with him and Zach. Got to meet another monstermuleys member also on the hunt. I don't think my brother believes me when I tell him how good it tastes and I think I got an oryx for the freezer.

    Daughter in law gets her first buck

    Less than a month ago Price gave us a beautiful granddaughter. Today she killed her first big game animal in a tough unit. This is one tough gal. She made an incredible 400 yard shot. Zach found this guy early this morning and we closed the distance as much as we could. I wanted a easier shot...

    Buck from Saturday

    My son did most the work on this, and I was just the trigger man, but, I will take it. He found him about 8 in the morning and did not get a shot till 4. Not a high scoring buck, but, old, fat, tall and a little character. About as good a buck for this unit as we could have hoped for.

    Tell me about your CO Muzzle loader set up

    I already have a couple muzzle loaders set up for NM, but, I do not want to mess with them. I would like to go with a light ml and take advantage of the fact it will not need a scope. I will need a good choice for a reasonable, well engineered ML. Good choice for a CO legal site. Good choice...

    How about two 30" rams on public land

    I stil have not killed a 30+ inch Barbary. Zach and his girlfriend Sidni both killed one this morning. This is Zach's 2nd on public land. He put in 14 miles yesterday, and I put in 10. I never saw a sheep in 2 hard days of hunting. I dont have a tag, but, I was supposed to be helping him...

    When do paper proclamations come out

    Every year it seems later and later. I am sure they are trying to wean us old guys off of paper booklets, but, so much easier to reference than online. Anyone have inside scoop when the local Wally worlds will have them?

    Son's rifle bull from last weekend

    This was a memorable hunt . I will try to tell the story of the hunt briefly as possible, but, of course from the beginning. I picked this tag up at a fraction of what they go for only because it was 2 days before the hunt and after those 2 days it would be worthless. Someone could not do the...

    Best map for 68, 681, 682. Mule deer

    Picked up a tag for this unit 3rd season mule deer. It will overlap a NV deer hunt I have, but, excited to have it. I like Nat Geo maps a lot, and have the La Garita Cochetopa Hills map and it seems to cover lots of it. Is there a good map for this area someone could recommend. Only need...

    Son's archery buck from last weekend

    While I was hunting my tag for archery elk and then helping my buddy with his hunt after I ate my tag. (He then proceeded to eat his tag also). We both easily could have killed small bulls every day, but, neither of us could close on a big bull. Meanwhile on the weekends DW could only hunt...

    Best Maps for 194, 196

    Got lucky and drew this late mule deer hunt in November. First tag ever in NV after almost 20 years of applying. I understand that weather really helps the hunt. And I understand that there are lots of private land issues. I want to buy a paper map now that has public/private as well as...

    Will it be this week???

    Going fishing on Friday, so I kinda hope it is the following week. Love the drama and craziness of when results come out. Every year someone I know draws a sheep tag or something really cool. Starting to get excited. Here come the posts with the false alarms and the back door theories. Got...
