We know this is a long shot but figured we would put it out there. If anyone hunting the 6A wilderness finds a dead 340-350" 6x6, please let me know. My brother stuck the bull Saturday am, shot was a bit back but definitely got liver. Searched for 3 days after sticking him but we were unable...
My 60 year old uncle drew the late season muzzy bull tag in unit 15. We are planning on spending a week checking out the unit this August. Is this a good unit to hunt off horseback?
I am selling a practically brand new pair of Vortex 12x50 razor hds. Checkout my listing in the classifieds forum for pics and pricing. Located in the ABQ area. Thanks
I have a set of 4 Michelin LTX A/T2 tires that only have 100 miles on them. They are the upgraded all terrain tires that come on the 2015 Toyota Tundra TRD package. Size is P275/65r18, $500 for the set of 4. Located in SE NM, but I travel to the north part of the state 2x/month.
Thanks, Mike...

Hunted hard the entire 15 days of the archery season and passed on several decent bucks (130-150 class). Yesterday morning the stars aligned and a big heavy horned 28" 4x4 that would easily score in the 180's came walking past my ambush spot 10 mins before sunrise. He was coming thru tall grass...
Was fortunate enough to harvest this nice bull at 12:01pm on opening day of the rifle hunt. My brother was hunting the same unit during the muzzleloader hunt and we spotted this bull on the last day of his hunt. He was on the move and we couldn't get any closer than 600 yds. We knew if we...
Didnt draw a tag this year, but looking to tag along and film some sheep hunting in February. If you wouldnt mind, let me know. I have killed nice public land rams in units 30 & 32.
The elk are fired up in 36! Called in a 360 bull this morning to 52 yardsbut no shot opportunity. About ten minutes later called in two nice 300 class 6x's. Gotta love NM elk hunting.
Was wondering if anyone has any experience with the 275 grain Parker Productions Jacketed Ballistic Extreme in the field on elk? Hoping to test these out in my cva accura and see how they shoot.
Guys,
Having grown up hunting in NM, I often dreamed of the days when I could spend my entire fall hunting elk. In 2011, I decided to leave my job after 9 years and pursue my real passion of hunting! I spent this fall working as a hunting guide under a registered NM outfitter. The wonderful...
Below are some pics from my brothers hunt this past weekend. We hiked about 3.4 miles into a wilderness area on Saturday afternoon and my brother took him with a single shot around 6pm. It took us about 11 hours on Sunday to get all the meat off the mountain, but the hard work was well worth it.
Below are some pics from our turkey season to date. My turkey season started in the state of Texas. A good friend of mine invited me to join them for a few days of chasing turkeys down around Ft. Stockton. I was fortunate enough to take two nice birds over the next 4 days. My first Texas...
Well, I guess it all started back in June when we learned that my 13 year old daughter, Daylin, had drawn a youth elk tag. After successfuly compeleting her Hunter's Education class when she was 11, she had flat struck out the previous two years of applying for elk and deer in NM. Her third...
Guys,
I just picked up a new CVA Accura. I was wanting to get some advice on muzzleloader scopes and rings/bases combo's for this new toy. I will be using in my home state of NM for elk this fall. Right now, I'm leaning toward the Nikon Omega BDC 250 3-9x40, not sure what bases/rings would...
Curious to see if any fellow New Mexican's have ever hunted mule deer in the famed region G of WY? Based off my preference points, I should draw a region G tag this year. Planning on saddling up the horses and spending some time scouting up there this summer. Would be interested to hear of...
Decided to knock the ice off the boat and hit the San Juan this weekend for a little bit of fishing. For those of you who aren't scared of a little cold weather, the fishing is extremely hot on both dry flies and nymphs.
Guys,
After looking over the draw odds reports from last year, am I correct in stating that if you were a nonresident and you had a General season elk tag as your second choice on your 2009 app, you didnt draw a tag? Eastmans had a paragraph claiming that you could save your preference points...
Attached are some pics from our 2nd season rifle hunt up in Northern NM. We ended up packing in about 8 miles from the trail head. This bull was taken the first evening of the hunt about a 1/3rd mile from camp. On the fourth night we ended up getting 10 inches of snow, so the packout was...
Guys,
I am looking for some suggestions on a traditional muzzleloader for deer/elk hunting. A few of the units I like to hunt went to a restricted muzzleloading season. This restricts the use of in-line ignition, pelleted powder, sabots, belted bullets, and scopes. So far, I am leaning...
Guys,
I just found out that my brother drew the second rifle elk hunt in unit 45. We have never elk hunted in this unit. Any general areas or starting points that you could recommend would be greatly appreciated. I think we will probably try to backpack in a few miles off a trailhead depending...
I just got a call from a friend of a friend who lives in Texas. Apparently, this guy purchased a lottery ticket for a Valles Caldera hunt and was drawn for the first rifle bull hunt. Basically, he was calling me to see if I thought it would be worth his vacation time and gas money from Dallas...
Anybody else notice how drastically Sitka Gear has changed their product warranty? They claim they stand behind every product they make, but they have done away with their 100% unconditional warranty (return for full refund or replacement if unsatisfied or product fails for whatever reason)...
After four days of hitting it hard, we were finally able to get all the stars to align. After setting up and attempting to call this warrior in with no luck from approx 100-125 yds away, we circled around and setup in his wheelhouse. A few softs yelps, clucks, and a purr or two and he came...
Hey all,
It seems like after 1 out of every 3 hunts I go on, I always end up saying to my hunting partner, "I wish we would have been videotaping this hunt!". I have been saving up the last few months for a camcorder and would like to keep the cost to less than $1,000. These recorded hunts...
Does anybody have any comments/personal experiences they would be willing to share regarding these hikers from Scarpa? All the reviews I'm finding online seems to indicate they are a great pair of hiking boots. In addition, they won the 2008 Backpacker Magazine's Editors Award. I am looking...
Guys,
Finally found some time to upload some pics from our 2008 NM Deer hunt. I personally passed on several nice bucks holding out for the big one. Never pulled the trigger this year, but I still had a great hunt. I spotted the buck in the first picture for my buddy and helped him plan and...
Does anybody have any opinions regarding Currant Creek Outfitters they would be willing to share? I am contemplating using them for a guided NR deer hunt in 2009.
Does anybody know of any outfitters they would recommend for an elk hunt in the Washakie Wilderness portion of Unit 61? Any general info anyone is willing to share regarding the elk quality/quantity in the wilderness area of 61 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
NMMuley
Good luck to everyone heading out to chase the "gray ghost" this weekend. We (6 tagholders) will be hitting it hard down in Unit 30 for the next five days starting Saturday morning. Was down in Unit 30 for opening weekend helping some buddies with tags and both took nice bucks on opening...
If you are into flyfishing and you haven't been up to the San Juan in the last few weeks, you are missing out! The river is fishing incredible. Attached are some pics from last week that I thought some might like to see...
I have 1 deer PP heading into this year's draw and was thinking about applying for unit 87 (limited quota mule deer) as my first choice. According to last year's draw odds, 1PP NR had about a 53% chance of drawing this tag. Does anyone have any thoughts (deer numbers, quality, public land...
