Lonepine-Thank you for making this personal. I could care less if it WAS the INTENT to keep the money back in 2011. Were you there? This is an ambiguous money grab. IT IS NOT CLEAR. Read the Legislative Councils last paragraph on page 2. Define FEE for me Lonepine. Is it the $8 or the $13. If...

SLM- You do not need guess. I, along with others were there when Governor Martinez would not sign SB 196 without a refund of the Game License $ as part of the deal. Ergo, the INTENT. It will be interesting to see if she, or her then cabinet get questioned by the AG as to INTENT. Change...

So if it iss illegal?, it makes it OK to TAKE or dare I say STEAL the money to raise revenue via Pittman Robert? Sounds vaguely familiar to an old movie I once watched called Robin Hood.

Please recall the original INTENT of the signing by the THEN governor. Opening the statute to change it would be a disaster. With all due respect, the money is damn sure not being used to support immigration and should not be. Just a question, what do you receive for your $ in Colorado? Just...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-28-19 AT 09:44PM (MST)[p]In 2011, NM Governor Martinez signed SB196 into law. This was the quota bill. At that time, the Governor made it clear that she would not sign the bill if the Game License and particular Species License applied for money was not refunded to...

Muleman- Would you be opposed to having another hunt code in areas of the state to apply for that would allow you to hunt all the areas of units not signed up in A PLUS? Right now Archery, MI, and Youth can hunt these "not" signed up areas and ranches with written permission? You could even...

Guys- Sometime you should ask Bryan Bartlett or Eric Rominger what NR's have pitched in terms of dollars to the Wild Sheep conservation program in NM. Don't hold me to this but I believe I heard from the past NMWSF President, the late Lanny Rominger (not related to Eric), that NR's have...

Gilbert- Where should folks send their comments to at this point? Jim

Paul- Not sure if you noticed it seems that NMDGF is recommending one thing while WSMR is recommending another. I like the WSMR proposal......put the OIL up front and let folks have at it trying for one of those.....let others apply the later season no restriction hunts. Not sure why NMDGF...

Joe-Sent you a PM. Jim

Just a heads up to all of you. Be sure to ask any outfitter you are researching if they have the State and Federal Permits necessary to allow them to guide you on these lands. There have been some nightmare situations out there where the hunter found out days before the hunt that his outfitter...

http://krqe.com/2016/06/10/judge-calls-for-temporary-halt-to-mexican-gray-wolf-releases/ The department really deserves our appreciation and backing on this one. Hopefully this can become permanent. Jim

THANK YOU ALL!

Dear NM MM Members and NM Hunters- Below you will see a letter from Kerrie Romero who is the Executive Director of the New Mexico Council of Outfitters and Guides appealing for your help. Please read the letter. If there is a time for all of us to put aside our differing opinions about NM...

For Bulls, I love a .338. Have had great luck with 210gr Noslers. Shot a cow last year with a .257 Bee at 600 with a 120 gr Nosler. Worked perfectly. .270's are a great cow elk cartridge. Jim

LAST EDITED ON Mar-27-16 AT 08:42PM (MST)[p]We went in June. We were also in the Limpopo. Beginning of winter. Mornings and evenings can get down right cold. SA folks don't know what a damn heater is. Stood close to the fire a lot! If the wind blows during the day....best have a good coat. I...

Mozey-Sorry so late getting back with you. WVHunter got it right with his description of dip and ship. See post #18, third paragraph. LT-good luck.....We planned on 4-5...ended up with 9. Be strong...

My wife and I went last June with another couple. The cost at the auction was dirt cheap. However the hunt ended up Very very expensive. You will be tempted to harvest many animals. Be careful on the pressure to shoot. You will encounter unbelievable cost for shipping the animals back. We...

live4- Help me understand.....if the money goes to education in some form or fashion, why is that bad? I know it is not much to solve all of the problems, but isn't a start? Say it goes for 10 years, maybe a stamp also gets in place....that's $10M more for someones salary, classroom, etc...

Congratulations.....very nice buck! Headed up there this weekend myself. That looks like the new Remington Ultimate Muzzy. What load is he shooting? I bought one a month ago and cannot get it to shoot. Ended up sending it back to Remington after trying 4 different powders, who knows how many...

Try Preston at N-Bar Ranch. They are in 16A but 16D is within easy driving time. We did it when my wife had a bull tag. The cabins and meal and everything were perfect! http://www.nbarranch.com/ Good Luck-Jim

The NM Supreme Court case sited in the AG "opinion" clearly allows for walking, wading, or standing in stream beds (Game Commission vs Red River Valley) The Red River case (1945) refereed to a situation where a mostly privately owned lake could be accessed, by boat, from a waterway located on...

I respectfully disagree with this statement- "If the Gov. signs it, we are in for a long legal battle to reverse it, even though we have legal precedent..." Unlike Jamaro, I sat along with Garrett in the Senate Judiciary (lawyers) Committee and heard every bit of legal issue with the...

Great Story-Great Reminder to all..... Glad you came out OK. Jim

LAST EDITED ON Nov-19-14 AT 05:42AM (MST)[p]Have fun and good luck on the Barb hunt.....best thing in world to be doing in February:) Jim

I know this topic has drifted like a bullet in a 25 MPH crosswind but I have to respectfully disagree with my friend LCHC on the TSX discount. I love them and shoot them out of several rifles.One thing to be careful with the TTSX is that you must have the right barrel twist to make it work...

So cool.....I am so envious. I could never get my daughters to go much less hunt. You are truly blessed and those memories will be so big in her life. Way to go to both of you:)

Good job to both of you Miguel. Williams Creek Lake eh.....spent the better part of my teen years working up there....cool area. Cimarrona Peak is my favorite peak in the Juans. Have some great memories of packing into the peaks and playing mountain man. Jimbo
