Also forgot to mention you have to work through CJ Outfitting in order to access Walker's these days. Fortunately, that place had its "issues" sorted out.

I spend a ton of time in 2 and thanks to a very good friend, have had the opportunity to hold a number of tags and hunt it personally more times than most ever will - for elk, deer and pronghorn. Coloradoboy can vouch for that and yes, he knows the unit pretty well. Additionally, I go on a good...

Great write up and buck, amigo! Congrats!

Great bull taken on a great family hunt! Nothing better in my mind. Congrats on all counts!

ZERO complaints on the 195+ "backup buck"!

Congrats again, Amigo! You definitely earned this ghost. Just bummed he ghosted us last year! Incredible buck.

Darner pioneered the "fish hook" method a little too successfully on monster mule deer at yard sales and rummage sales. Felonies and Boone and Crockett frauds aside, I believe he might have actually shot one half decent muley in his notorious career? If memory serves me right it's the only...

Congrats on the Tag, DanMan. I somehow managed to draw it as well as a NR with zero points this year (crazy, but I'll take it given I blanked on everything else in ever wester state). I'm actually based out of my hometown in Steamboat so plan on being out there a bunch looking for one of those...

Science and religion and their countless purported contradictions do in fact have a common ground. If you’re game, dig in on one some of my former professor’s works. Google: Ian Barbour. Fascinating and educational reads. I’m an overly-educated and highly skeptical hunter who has a deeply...

You dawg…Hope you’re well!

Gracias, Paul. And, likewise. Been trying to model my game after you and Zach since way back. And yes, about time for my little guy to start taking over!

Hah! Good to catch up randomly with you as always, Teryn! Hope you and the fam are well.

Still in Colorado, amigo. Glad to see you're still around! Still managing to spend a good deal of time in NM though.

Howdy, mis amigos. Been a long d@mned time since I lasted posted on MM, but after lurking the past couple of months, I'm back. Can't believe how many long-term friendships and incredible hunts I owe to this forum. Pretty incredible as I look back on it. Hope everyone draws their dream hunts this...

Congrats, buddy. I thought you were sick and tired of packing bulls across the flatlands in that unit for days on end! Going to be another season of too many miles in that stinking unit again, but well worth it. Bummed I can't make it this year... Please hold out for the big boy this year and...

E is a tough but underrated unit. Definitely a pain to deal with accessing prime spots, but if you are willing to put some miles in on foot you can locate really good bulls in surprisingly sparse country. There are some great bulls in the unit, especially during archery. There is a reason hard...

Well done again, Amigo! Great photos and stories. Always a pleasure to read your work and see all the giant speedgoats you guys put down! Class act family and great hunters, all of you. Keep it up, Cody http://themeateater.com/ http://www.firstlite.com/ www.streamflies.com

Hope you all had a great 2014 season. I'd love to see some more hunting pictures, especially of your 2014 hunts. I went on a number of hunts in Colorado this past year after returning from a 10 year hiatus in New Mexico. Stupidly passed some very nice bulls on my muzzleloader elk hunt, missed a...

I shot Bambi and then spent two days packing him out of steep canyon country. Hunted a lot in Colorado, but this was my only New Mexico hunt in 2014. -Cody http://themeateater.com/ http://www.firstlite.com/ www.streamflies.com

pm sent as well. Congrats again on the bull, amigo. Ended up with a smoker. http://themeateater.com/ http://www.firstlite.com/ www.streamflies.com

Congrats again. Looks like I got back to you around the time you were killing this bull! Check your inbox and well done! ://themeateater.com/ http://www.firstlite.com/ www.streamflies.co

That bull is a giant no matter where he came from! Big congrats,guys. -Cody http://themeateater.com/ http://www.firstlite.com/ www.streamflies.com

Thank you for fleshing that out, Buzz. I finally see where you are coming from and I think you are right on. Paul, pretty much followed it up accurately. -Cody http://themeateater.com/ http://www.firstlite.com/ www.streamflies.com

Sorry guys, the good old days of easy tags for nonresidents is over. It was great while it lasted, but now we have to put up with the same or similar draw odds handed out to nonresidents in many other states. Now that I'm a non-resident it really burns. In fact it burns to the point that out of...

I had not heard that but I have heard from a reliable source that the Vermejo is considering a wolf introduction plan. http://themeateater.com/ www.streamflies.com

It looks pretty reliable to me. My points are at zero and my wife, who went into the draw with zero and applied for an easy hunt to draw gained a point. Looks like the point creep made our unit a little more difficult to draw this year. -Cody http://themeateater.com/ www.streamflies.com

My deer points were also showing zero prior to the "crash" however they are currently showing. I believe I drew the tag as I burned a few points on a tag that requires 0 to 1 to draw. I did draw a good speedgoat and muzzy bull tag. -Cody http://themeateater.com/ www.streamflies.com

Thanks for the insight, guys. I spent a day glassing and hiking one of the ranches and am pretty sold on where I'm going to hunt, now I just need to stay on it and locate a mature deer or two. No corn on this place, but there is good water, broken country, creek bottom and some dryland hay...

I just moved back home to Colorado after a 10 year stint in New Mexico and was wise enough to build a few preference points. I've got enough points to draw any season in the eastern plains, but was wondering if it is better to go early and get the first crack at some of these eastern plains...

Great video, Zac. Glad you got connected with my buddy Casey (a/k/a "werewolf"). Regarding the free range bison hunt question. Technically speaking there are no "free range" bison hunts in New Mexico. That said, New Mexico defines bison as "livestock" so they don't have to be kept behind high...

Rio, thanks for the compliments. You are to be commended for taking your daughter hunting AND getting someone so young to appreciate what hunting is really about. Awesome on all counts and I hope you both hunt together for many seasons in the future. -Cody >That was friggin GREAT!These guys...

The irony of the Gila is in the number of deer tags allotted per unit versus the number elk tags. Spend time glassing in any limited Gila unit and you will plenty of elk and hardly any deer. BUT, our deer biologists insist on issuing up to 10x the number of deer tags as elk tags in some of...

Thanks, guys. More to come from MeatEater, that's for certain. It's great being a part of MeatEater, especially when your buddy is the host as well as a great off-camera guy and advocate for all outdoorsmen. MeatEater is produced by Zero Point Zero, Production, Anthony Bourdain's production...

So, there has been at least one confirmed incidence of New Mexico?s wonderful gray wolves cross-breeding with domestic dogs. My understanding is that a female lobo was bred by a black lab and birthed a litter of half dogs (I will call them labralobos). The appropriate authority was brought in...

Let's reign it in gents. Water is always a sore subject in the desert, Southwest. Especially in these days of epic drought. Also remember who is making a statement and realize that much is lost in translation, especially on an internet hunting forum. Though this drought is dead serious, I...
