I personally have no issue with giving out information. I feel blessed to have hunted every single year since I was 12 years old and have drawn at least one tag for the last 30 years. Karma has been good! My wife drew the Elk-700 tag first time out, my daughter has drawn antelope several years...

I awoke my 11 year old daughter yesterday at 6:01 am to tell her the great news that she drew a unit 15 youth tag. Half asleep she sits up and asked; "bull or cow?" I said its an either sex tag. She looks me dead in the eye and says; "GREAT, WHERE AM I EVEN GOING TO FIND ONE OF THOSE!" She then...

Roads were fine from Apache Creak to Collins park. Call me if you have questions 505-795-5123

E-1-700 is what she drew from NMDGF.

We are currently hunting that unit as my wife basically has the Governors tag. She passed on 20+ bulls in 16-D on Saturday and Sunday morning including an 8x7 and 7x6 that were in the 350 range. Both could have easily been harvested from the truck if a 200 yard shot is acceptable. Lots of elk...

I know a guy with similar luck, turns out he wasn’t doing his small game harvest report and never stood a chance!

Wife drew Elk-1-700 this year! She doesn’t understand the excitement! But she will come September! ?

I guess everyone went off on a rant about poor management. 2-B and 2-C are great units and should have point restrictions to get maturity back. Genetically they produce giants but rarely get into that 5-6 year old range. Sleeper units with lower success rates but hold monster bucks are units...

They killed plenty in this unit for the second archery. Nothing real big although I saw a bull allegedly killed from the 16's that was a 380+ bull. I know a 340 was killed out of potato patch. We saw plenty of good bulls although the early drought seems to have affected antler growth. I'll send...

Keep your chin up! The drought as nasty as its been never dried up the lake or river so there has been food and water for those deer. Sure the weather helps as far as the deer migration but, there are plenty of resident deer there. The unit is big and genetically the potential for bruiser bucks...

I got my niece a leftover tag in this unit to try something new. Has any one hunted this unit this time of year? Ive seen some great deer in this unit in September but never been there this late in the season. The hunt starts thanksgiving weekend and a couple weekends in December. Pics would be...

The rut usually is the same time in northern New Mexico every year around September 20th, as for the southern part of the state is all happens about a month later, I strongly recommend every bow Hunter to hunt the Northern part of the state if you want to see the magic of rutting elk! Unit 50...

>>Did you get the pic? Giant >>body on a younger buck! >> > > >No sir I'll p.m. my address >now. E-MAILED you those pics

Did you get the pic? Giant body on a younger buck!

She killed her buck in Pecoslavakia around the Jack's Creak area. I would post a pic but, I'm kinda dumb on figuring how to post a pic! I'll send you an email with a pic, feel free to post.

My 14 year old niece had a youth hunt that started on the 22nd and killed a big one super swelled up but, was alone. I have seen a few bucks chasing but with this heat they are mostly nocturnal.

I do have some pics, this bull doesn't have a crown. Where were you hunting?

Believe me I was quick to call b/s when another outfitter told me about the bull but, seeing is believing. A young girl killed a different bull this hunt that allegedly scored 402. I did see the bull and yes it's a toast but doubt the 402 but, I did not tape it! Two years ago a confirmed net...

I was helping on a hunt in the Valles caldera for the muzzleloader hunt. Our first hunter was very pleased to take a 310 bull. The second hunter as of 1:00 pm today has passed on 30+ bulls we were able to call in. He missed one bull opening morning that would have scored 350+ and another today...

I found a beautiful 6x6 on the North side of Abrigo. Park Ranger recovered the skull and claims to be willing to return the skull if it is yours. My guess is it was killed during second archery season. If you think it's yours or know someone who lost a bull have them contact the park office!

I believe they are predominantly nocturnal. We used to trap them just south of Lamy which is south of Santa Few along 285. Beautiful little animals but not worth much as far as a pelt is concerned but, we trated them with some of the local pueblos so that they could use them in ceremonial dances.

Hope you found some sheep, last rumor I heard from a very credible source was that a few rams in that area had developed some type of cough and as many as 5 rams were going to be shot by NMDGF. I hope its just a rumor but if I had that hunt I would call the game and fish biologist to find out more.

Joe, glad you enjoyed the recanting of that event. This episode is entitled; "Silence, death awaits us!" Its part of a Netflix original airing this fall from the future hit series entitled, "Memoirs of the St. James!" It is rated R and will have Amy Adams starring in the role of Silence and...

Alright Joe,I think I'm ready to tell my story about the St. James hotel. About 5 years ago I decided to stay the night there after a successful guiding trip on the Valle Vidal. Alone, I decided to go to the bar and knock back a few to unwind and relax. I noticed this amazingly stunning red...

Looks like a ton of fun! Did you guys find the Forest Fenn treasure? It looks like you all were in the right spot. In fact if you look closely at the picture of your boy next to the fire you can see the corner of the treasure chest shining through behind the scorched tree on the left! If you...

I forgot about snakes in that area, we scouted that unit in September a couple years back and saw a bunch of prairie rattlers on Ule point just below the well site there. I'm guessing that that area is a wintering spot for snake's.

To hell with maps,buy a drone! I find a decent topo map used along side with Google earth gives a pretty good idea of what your hunting. I've paid hundreds of dollars on custom maps and can't really contribute much success to owning them. At the end of the day your instincts and a ton of...

I just got a email from fish and game offering a full refund because all hunts in 16-D are cancelled because of the fire and the danger of dead fall! Oh well maybe next year! Don't worry the elk got a reverse 911 and advised them to seek shelter in unit 22 because even fire won't touch that...

WRONG! I am yet to find many images on any maps showing a deer or an elk. Even Google earth don't show many elk. As for scouting new units, I've never killed a single animal in a new unit that I found on a scouting trip more than a month before my hunt. In my opinion its a waste of time! I ask...

>Hey Muleywisperer - How about javelina >(my kid has a statewide >tag)? Too funny there Reuben! Although I have found those weird little guys in strange places. While elk hunting!

Alright the factors, bear season opens in August with any legal weapon. One deer I babysat since March was poached during that hunt. I have found fresh gut piles and hide from deer poached during that bear hunt several times. Then comes 22 days of archery season followed by muzzleloader season...

I've hunted the wilderness several times but never the second season and only once with a rifle. If you go into the ELK FORUM I posted on one guys question about unit 16-B. I'm half tempted to pack up and head down with my horse and mule just to see what conditions are like for the second rifle...

Do you hike often in Missouri at 10,000 feet? I've got to be honest the second rifle hunt can be real tough. I've posted info on other messages with what could be valuable info for this unit. The biggest bucks in this unit reside next to museum hill just out side Santa Fe. Mostly private so that...

I've hunted the wilderness several times in the last few years. Here is the run down, huge country! There is deep canyons, smooth rolling hills, steep mountains and water everywhere. I hunt usually by foot but do take down 3-4 horses and mule's to pack with. Guides and outfitters like to believe...

Alright, not too sure how to approach with out scaring you off! For starters, unit 45 is huge and has some very rugged country mixed in with high elevation . Not sure where your from or fitness level so I won't recommend an area if it might kill you. If you were to stay in Santa Fe, the area...

I would have to say this is a great sleeper unit that has mature bucks and great genetics. I would have to say I might pick this unit over unit 2 as far as trying to kill a book buck. With that said I have to agree that the deer numbers have taken a serious hit from predation and are harder to...

I never saw anything bigger than 300" while sitting on my a$$ driving around in my truck, yet I managed to kill a 374" inch bull after hiking two miles west of the 9 mile road. My cousins 360" bull by the microwave repeater by Cimarron camp ground was also just dumb luck and his step sons almost...

Has to be the worst unit in the state, I could not find a single oryx on my state wide tag!I think all the dang elk scared them off, I tell you what if your going up there to hunt barbery sheep or oryx don't go! I hunted around trout lakes and saw lots of elk. English tanks also holds good elk...

Giant bucks behind every salt cedar! J/K, there are great bucks in this unit if you are willing to pass on the little ones. Great bucks south of highway 4 along the bandolier border towards cochiti lots of walking to get in there though. Tons of deer off 31 mile road both on the top towards the...

We over the last 5 years have gone 11/11 on cow tags in unit 6-C with 9 of those cows killed within 30 minutes of the of the start of the hunt on the first day! Dumb luck? Sure, but lots of elk and pretty predictable. Unit 45 has allot of deer but the key is too get a good way from the roads...
