I have never hunted unit 40, but from OnX I would scout south of bull canyon. Not sure why you chose Unit 40 without either knowing someone with private land or have your eyes on an animal already. I wish you luck though. Let us know how you do.

Sorry everyone, I have been out of town for work the past few weeks. I did manage to get to the range prior to my trips. I backed off on my powder to 77grains by weight and it seemed to solve all my problems. 100yard group was very close to being within MOA and dead on at 200 and 300 yards...

I went to go scout Unit 17 for a hunt this fall and found the road I wanted to go in through was blocked. Nothing like driving 3 hours and then finding your area is closed. It had a memo from the USFS stating the area was closed on July 17th and would open the 28th of August at the latest. When...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-11-19 AT 11:06AM (MST)[p]EFNM, Yes I purchased the correct Breech Plug. Thanks for looking out though.

UPDATE Can someone a little smarter than me explain why I am on at 100 & 200 but then way right at 300 yards? Was a fairly calm day, I tried to wait for the breeze to stop each time fired. I am leaning towards the SST due to the following: 1. Is easier to load than the Barnes TMZ. 2. Is...

Let me here what your go to setup is for Muzzle loading. I have a Muzzy Mule Deer tag and I would like to know what works for everyone. All my muzzleloader experience is back east with whitetails under 100 yards. So I am going to see if I can get my CVA Accura V2 to be consistent out to 300...

No offense, only you can answer this question. Are you ok with possible eating the cost of an out of state tag due to not seeing a "Size worth Buying " bear or the unit is closed because the bear quota has been met? Are you ok with not having a tag and forced to watch a " Size worth Buying "...

Was it in Unit 15?

ARHunter, Your welcome, my son was 14yrs old at the time and as you can see he was really happy. That was his first Bull and the only one we have managed to get so far. I wish you the best of luck and let us know how the hunt turns out.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-19 AT 12:21PM (MST)[p]I will give this a shot from my perspective. I joined this forum almost 4 years ago, I think. I joined after finding it while searching the internet trying to educate myself on how to hunt all the critters here in the western states. I was and am...

This isn't from Unit 34, but it is a 265" Bull just so you can get an idea. Some of the pictures aren't great but will give you and idea of judging.

First of all, Congrats to your wife. Best Places to stay- Close proximity-Hotel on White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) if you are able to access. Close to restaurants and stores- Any in Las Cruces or Alamogordo Vehicle needed- 4WD with ability to carry a large animal would be best due to some...

Muzzleloader Deer for me in Unit 17.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-26-19 AT 03:13PM (MST)[p]Congratulations!!! Hunting with our 4 kids is definitely great. I have also had great times with friends, especially this year. I was able to help a husband and his wife both harvest an Oryx. Her cow measured 36 1/2 x 36 7/8, and his bull measured 37 x...

Sent you a PM

Sorry I didn't respond due to being tied up with work all week. I cant give you an answer....yet....since this is our first time ever hunting the critters. Will let you know once we find and harvest one.

Thanks, PM's sent.

My youngest has a youth statewide (except 28) Javelina tag. Due to many reasons we have not made it out to hunt and he is ready to go. I am looking for some help due to this is our first time ever pursuing these critters. Any suggestions/Info to help me put a Javelina in front of my little...

Bobby I agree with you somewhat, I think the pronghorn are about to take a big hit by making this move on certain ranches. I also think some of the ranchers are going to make bigger sums of money until the population gets smaller on their ranch. Other ranchers who used to receive tags from the...

Ok, so I went back and must just be missing the explanation for the Antelope change. Please help me understand if I am correct. Tags are unit wide now vs. being assigned a ranch. Let's say you were putting in for a prime location before in hopes of drawing one of the ranches that holds a ton...

Thanks

LAST EDITED ON Jan-07-19 AT 07:28AM (MST)[p]I have found each has its own requirements. Barbary Sheep and Ibex are the only animals I have found a necessity for a spotting scope. Also maybe Bighorn sheep, especially if you draw the gorge tag. However, I have not hunted any wide open areas for...

Well, the boys Cow Elk hunt could have definitely went a lot better. Arrived 5 days before the hunt and an ATV that I borrowed decided to develop a fuel leak (dumped the entire tank overnight). We found a couple of herds of Elk, both with about 100 in them each. Then opening morning, the snow...

I agree with what the others have said but ultimately it is up to you what kind of atmosphere you want as a retirement community. If you don't mind the desert area, then Las Cruces would probably be best or something in between Las Cruces and El Paso. If you want to be out of the hustle and...

ditto

I live on post and unless you go up in elevation (which you probably won't), the roads are all drivable.

I will be leaving this Saturday for my kids cow elk hunt. Figured I would see if anyone has been in unit 15 lately and be willing to help speed up the process of us finding those ladies. Should be a fun hunt with my boys and those smoke sticks. lol

Very nice, awesome memories made for sure, Congrats to you all.

I know there are a bunch of Oryx that hang out in the northeast corner of WSMR, up by Carrizozo. Might try the north side of hwy 380 up there. Just be warned, I have never looked for them there and don't know if that is private land or not. Other than that, you are on the right path by...

Awesome Billy for sure!!! Congratulations!!! Absolutely something to be happy with for sure.

It was after the draw but not long after. She knew about it for a good while and was looking forward to it.

I spent yesterday helping a friend's wife take her Oryx as part of the WSMR Herd Reduction Hunt. It was so much fun. We were in the Oryx immediately after sunrise and within an hour and half, she chose the one she wanted and her 308 was spot on. The animal went about 30yards and expired. Her...

That is AWESOME!!!! Congrats to your boys and to you as well. Nothing feels better than seeing the joy on their faces after the hard work everyone puts in. Keep up the great work!

Beautiful Oryx!!!! My son and I took an Oryx each a couple years ago during a depredation hunt. I am going this weekend to help a friend and his wife with an on range depredation hunt. I also had a friend harvest a nice Oryx this past weekend. Picture attached...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-13-18 AT 10:39AM (MST)[p]That is a beautiful ram. Welcome to the less than 1% club. I took my ram last year. I also ran into Derek a while back out on Butterfield shooting range shooting a new rifle. He is a wonderful guy to talk to and from what I have seen from others, a...

I had my Rocky Mountain Ram done at Majors Wildlife Studio in New Mexico, you should check out his work. Multiple awards for his work. http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos_2018/47226finishedram1.jpeg

Gary I got your PM and sent you the info you requested. Look forward to hearing back from you soon. Thanks again.
