    Caliber Thoughts

    .257 wby is unbeatable for a fast, flat deer rifle with low recoil. 110 accubond has more than enough energy for elk at ranges under 300 and I’ve carried mine on more elk hunts than my old .308. After 10 years of the .257 wby being my go to I decided I wanted a little more knockdown in case I...

    Drawing results

    Definitely easier waiting for the results as a NR. Expecting a sea of red for me, but hoping for some green for my son. Hope it’s a great year for many in NM. Snow pack seems solid and horns will be growin!!

    NM State Police killed

    Miss you too, Jim! I can’t explain how good Florida is. It feels like a different country!! I love much about NM and plan to hunt there every few years if God allows. I can fish here any day I want year round. The law enforcement here is a huge difference. Criminals are arrested and KEPT in...

    Applications Numbers 2024 draw~ system crash

    First time putting in as a NR. I waited until yesterday (Tuesday) morning and the system was working as normal. Previously, as a resident I would put in as soon as the draw opened. Now, shelling out the money for me and my son took some strategy to minimize unnecessary cost. Hunted the Jornada...

    Change UNIT-WIDE elk designation in New Mexico to RANCH ONLY!

    E-plus is not perfect! It also has people taking advantage of it! BUT…. Eliminating it will likely be worse for elk and most hunters. Look at what happened to antelope. It was drastically better when hunters were assigned to ranches but everybody screamed that A-plus was terrible and so we...

    Report Finds That New Mexico’s Elk Licensing System Favors Wealthy Landowners and Out-of-Staters Over Residents

    Wait a minute…. What happened to all of your “equal” talk? As a member of the public I’m just as entitled to my perspective on the Gila NATIONAL forest as you are. Is this about YOU or the “public land hunter”. Additionally, I happen to have spent about 200 days with my boots on the ground in...

    The Gila elk decline is a result of wolves, not eplus!!!

    Outfitter Draw— minimum service

    Beautiful buck! Sounds like a terrible couple of days at camp. That’s unfortunate that it happened like that.

    Outfitter Draw— minimum service

    The “outfitter welfare” people are referencing is the state requirement that 10% of the tags available in the public draw are allotted for hunters who have contracted with a NM based outfitter. This has effectively created a client base for outfitters that otherwise likely wouldn’t be hiring...

    Outfitter Draw— minimum service

    Any recommendations on the best outfitter to apply with for low cost basic package. I just want to meet the minimum requirements to legally put in with an outfitter and up my odds on some of the draw. The bottom line is the bottom line!!

    It's open, where you putting in for?

    First draw as a NR!! Elk Deer RMBHS Ant Bby Oryx Hunt codes will be just about the same as I’ve done as a res as I’ve really only put in for good hunts. Come on green!

    It's open, where you putting in for?

    Telling everybody where you’re applying online before the draw may be a great strategy. Maybe they will think too many people are already putting in for the unit you say and decide to do something else? I learned decades ago that many people I stopped to talk to on the road heading in or out...

    I’ve had the benelli sbe2 since 2010. Highly recommend a Benelli auto loader. I’ve put mine through it all and it just keeps going. Boom, Boom, Boom

    Life in a liberal city

    SS, I didn’t move here to save money. I paid no attention to insurance costs here prior to coming, it was just a nice surprise. Nor did I leave NM defeated. I just wanted a safer place to raise my kids than NM. Also wanted to be in a place where others internationally did the same. Florida...

    Life in a liberal city

    My insurance costs plummeted when I moved to Florida! My health insurance for my family of 5 is $1,000 cheaper per MONTH! In New Mexico, the system is flooded with illegals and your chance of being injured by a drunk driver, gangster, etc. is exponentially higher. My auto is down $200 per...

    Life in a liberal city

    It’s all about studying the odds!! As a brand new NR I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the hunts we love and have consistently killed on have BETTER draw odds for us now than as residents. Some I’ll have to apply with an outfitter but some I can get as unguided NR. There are great...

    Life in a liberal city

    Yes, the elk hunting is great! I’d highly recommend using the evil NR and outfitter/LO tag system to go hunt there. Not just elk though, add in some ibex, oryx, pronghorn, deer, and BHS too! I have a mountain property I kept in NM so I can chase wild brown trout in the summers. I plan to have...

    Life in a liberal city

    I’m aware of the Florida Man sensation. This is driven by the liberal media’s propaganda against the state. With over 20M residents there are plenty of knuckleheads. Placing Florida anywhere near New Mexico on the problem scale is ignorant. Florida scores in the top 20 in almost all categories...

    Life in a liberal city

    Meanwhile in Florida….. Skipping along beautifully kept public spaces without a crackhead in sight. Right To Carry laws, but absolutely no need to have a CC on your hip. Friendly people abound. My new governor just signed an executive order allowing residents to get hunting and fishing...

    Jornada ER Oryx

    Thanks! Yep, couldn’t believe it when I got this email. I already killed a nice nm bull this year and my son killed a cow and an antelope! Living in Florida now and loving it. Flying back in March to smoke an Oryx, God willing.

    Report Finds That New Mexico’s Elk Licensing System Favors Wealthy Landowners and Out-of-Staters Over Residents

    Every single landowner tag goes to someone who owns land in NM!!! Though they may have their primary residence out of state, they have a stake in NM. They likely pay more in NM taxes than the average resident hunter. The argument that the landowner tags primarily benefit non residents is...

    I miss you too, Jim. I’ll be in NM next week and will come to church to see everybody. I can’t thank God enough for the blessings he has given us. We love Florida and feel at home here already.

    My moving truck just got to my new house in Florida two days ago. I’m flying out tomorrow to unload and start to get settled in. MLG lit a fire with Covid and we started the process of selling homes and leaving this state. This new order is perfectly timed to help us remember why we are taking...

    Taxidermist???

    Harlan is working on my Desert Bighorn. I was lucky enough that he was on the hunt with me and did the cape work in the field! Should be done and on the wall soon. He did my Dall and it came out excellent. Reload kit is sold!

    I’ve backpacked and camped up top on the January bow hunt. I wouldn’t do that again. By the time you carry up gear, food, water for days, etc, you have a very heavy pack. Even in good shape, that is hard to do. It took us 5 hours up with 85 lb packs and we were good and sore the next day while...

    App Count 2023

    No bow on the market makes a novice shooter an expert. That comes with good practice. Same with a rifle, a $5k rig doesn’t make a rookie a sniper (even if they feel like one) About a decade ago I spent years documenting my bow shooting and accuracy. I was a seasoned shooter when I started...

    Where are all the LUCKY sheep tag holders at?

    I killed a Dall in 2021 and a NM desert in 2022! I feel like the luckiest sheep hunter ever (and probably a retired sheep hunter)
