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...

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...

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

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...

Is it me or did everyone else have a difficult time locating the bucks in 34 this past week? I covered a lot of ground and never did find a buck. Found plenty of Does and Elk (both cows and bulls). I spent about an hour at 50 yards watching two bulls munch away on a hillside. Hopefully I can...

I am thinking about going after a Mountain Lion before I retire back to the East Coast from the military. My question is what outfitter would you go through and why?

The season is getting closer and I am looking for advice regarding my deer hunt. I have said this before, I am a Soldier from the east coast who is fairly well versed in hunting whitetails back home. Not so much experience hunting Mule Deer. Two of my sons have taken Mule Deer (one was his...

Well, here is the finished "Rio", my Once-in-a-Lifetime New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn Ram that was harvested August of 2017. I would like to thank Majors Wildlife Studio in Las Cruces, NM for the fabulous job they did on my mount. Not only are they exceptional with the mounts they build...

This is my Once-in-lifetime (OIL) New Mexico, Rio Grande Gorge, Rocky Mt. Bighorn Ram taken this past August. He may not be the biggest ram to ever come out of the gorge, but he is absolutely beautiful. Robert Majors with Majors Wildlife Studio does incredible taxidermy work. By far the best I...

I will be hunting a F/IM Ibex starting on March 3rd through the 7th. One of my sons was also called up for the March 10-14th hunt. Would you take a Female or would you look for an immature male? I ask this in relation to some conversation and web trolling I have had or done. Many have said...

I found out last week that I was selected for the Ibex Population Herd Reduction Hunt occurring March 3-7, 2018. The hunt is for a Female/Immature with 15" or less horns. After the harvest, I can take the skull in to NMGF for seal attachment. This will then enter me into a special incentive...

Anyone been out in 32,34, 36 or 37 lately and have a general location where I can find some Barbary for my son's hunt? I planned on scouting the past 2 weekends and it just didn't work out. I am hoping to get out there this weekend and rope one to a fence post for him to shoot opening morning...

We are a Military Family. We will probably move in a couple of years, so, I wanted to share the success our family has had over the past 2 hunting seasons. I would also like to thank all the members for their help/advice/and directions that have helped us be as successful as we have been. Good...

So, I have been out scouting a couple times for my teenage sons upcoming Deer hunt in January, and have not had any luck finding a good spot to try and get a buck with his bow. If anybody could help and maybe recommend where a good location may be to find a buck come January, I would really...

I am a military guy originally from the east coast. My teenage son drew an Archery tag for Unit 34 here in New Mexico January 1-15 2018. Neither of us have ever hunted Mule Deer. If anyone could educate me on what I need to know in order to hopefully have a successful hunt for my son, I...

My son drew a Barbary Sheep Tag 1-28 February 2018 for GMU's 32-34 & 36-37 this year. It is the year of sheep for our family as I drew a Rocky Mountain Bighorn tag this year and successfully harvested. We had the pleasure of meeting a fellow member for my bighorn hunt and thought it might be...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-25-17 AT 10:27AM (MST)[p]My son drew an Archery Deer tag for Unit 34 this year. This will be his first attempt hunting with his Bow. We were tied up with his other brothers Archery Elk tag and my sheep tag and couldn't get to GMU34 to scout for deer. I am not looking or...

I leave this weekend to hopefully fill my once in a lifetime Rocky Mtn. Bighorn Ram tag at the Rio Grande Gorge. Was curious if any of the other fortunate souls who drew this hunt this year was on here. Also wondering if anyone has been around the gorge and seen any rams lately. I haven't...

I am either leaving in a couple of hours or in the morning to go scouting for Bighorn in the Rio Grande Gorge. Is there anyone who would like to join me and educate me? It will take me about 5-6 hors to get there from here in southern New Mexico. Look forward to hearing back from all of you...

I was fortunate enough to draw Rocky Mt. Bighorn tag for NM's Rio Grande Gorge. I am way beyond excited. I have had a permanent smile and can't stop thinking about them. August 15th cannot get here quick enough. Now I am seeking advice and knowledge for this hunt. I have never done this kind...

Is it worth the money to try OTC for Ibex? I haven't been in the area long, but I also haven't heard anyone say you should just get an OTC tag for these.

Anyone have suggestions or recommendations for hunting Barbary in Units 32, 34, 36-37? We have never hunted these and it is my son who drew the tag. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-19-17 AT 02:57AM (MST)[p]I must be a blessed man because I drew a Ram hunt for the Rio Grande Gorge. On top of this tag, 2 of my 4 sons drew an additional 3 tags. One drew an Archery deer tag for Unit 34 and a Rifle Barbary tag for Units 32, 34, 36-37. My other son drew the...
