Comment not necissarily directed right to you, more toward what we see too often. Enjoy your turkey hunting, I hear LIK2HNT knows of a few places, PM him.

"First time non-res here. Never been to NM, saw a super sweet hunter influencer post an amazing hunt in NM and decided to try my luck. First time ever I drew a 34 2nd archery elk tag, OIL Oryx, and a BH tag. Apparently these are good tags, I don't know I just guessed. Can anyone tell me...

No such thing as a honey hole anymore boys. I get the hunting community sticks together to help on another but... gosh damn, get off your ass, buy some glass, hike to some high points in an area you draw, look for animals, if you don't find then move, rinse and repeat. I hate when people just...

Damn….. putting BUGLE on blast. Snitches get stitches rat!

WILD

I love hunting these little stink pigs! They are fun, and would agree that the hardest part of the hunt is just finding them! I have killed many over the years, and my family looks forward to it as they taste amazing. That being said, a few pointers I have found over the years. Every Javelina...

Geeze, I wish it was like that here. I'm hermosa North A not B

They are barely starting to heat up in my part of the Gila!

******* HAMMER! Awesome bull!

Congrats!

Awesome Bull! Congrats!

If you have, CONGRATS! Let's see it!

Only heard two bugles over the weekend. One day glassed up 6 separate herds varying in size from 4 to about 35 elk, only one of the herds had a bull. They were in different areas of the unit. Super-hot, super-dry. No rain.

When do these results usually post?

I was hoping for someone more like Bill Gates. That way we would have a great place to gather and enjoy beyond meat, while we talk about correct pronouns and covid policies. As far as true numbers of elk on private vs public, I'm glad you were here clear up that there are twice as many elk on...

Couldn't agree more. Too many roads that were once public are now fenced off for ZT cattle to graze. Plenty of RO tags being used on public as well, and nothing will happen as game and fish will only check the hunters on the 2 public access roads N of Winston. Had same issues when the garrets...

I'm saying there is probably equal amount of public as there is private from hatch (nut) north. The problem is the vast majority is land locked with little access or availability to the public land hunter. I would assume the numbers of elk on both private and public in these area's are roughly...

Never paid too much attention to the harvest reports, but decided to take a look at some of the data gathered from last year. Looked over some of the units I've hunted in the past and find it hilarious some of the private land tags sold vs public land. For instance 21b. 197 Total tags sold to...

Lighter yes, easier Probably not. If you do have the ability to use a near by road why use an e-bike instead of a quad or UTV? More power, comfort, ability over an e-bike, all of which you would want for an elk pack out. Only real benefit I see of an ebike is how potentially quiet they can...

Was out in various parts of the Gila over the weekend, primarily west part of 17, north part 21a, and Eastern part of 16c, and man is it looking rough. Tons of dry tanks, vegetation looks beat down bad by being over grazed, fires all around the area, especially with the start of a new one in...

Depends on where you are hunting. Ive been in the 16c area recently and the had rain each day of 3 that i was there. Alot of creeks still running, and pretty green. The early rain we had in the spring is more important than the monsoon rains now. Have put my eyes on some good elk, and expect...

I can't speak from experience, just what I've heard. HORROR STORIES! Like yote buster said. Tons of great, hardworking outfitters in NM, I'd keep looking as well. For the money paid why take the chance.

Looks like the bird was right!

I guarantee he’s no the only one that’s called, and probably not the only one that’s called from this thread. I wish we didn’t fiend for results like we do. Shitty none the less

Well 10:00 come and gone. Until next week boys!

9:00 come and gone. Last hope an hour away!

He already did. 2 Wednesday’s ago, just not on these bait and switch threads!

Regardless of the source, E-TAG backdoor may be shut, but optimistic about results in the land of the manana.

Well…. Heard from a bird that there may be a delay on results due to a system error with the audit process. I sure hope this info. Is incorrect

Definitely a possibility!

E-Tag should post tonight correct?

Couldn't agree more.

You're right. Thought it would have been on this thread or the other concerning draws. The next 5 days are going to be long.

Only thing off is RIO hasn't been here to bless us with his "i'm leaving turkey hunting, see you all in 2 weeks blessing."

Pretty sure draw has been run. 1 week for audit puposes, results should post 19th.

I was wondering when this thread would start up.

Good Morning ALL and happy February. I drew a march 3rd season Nanny tag and just had a couple questions. I have hunted and harvested on the main florida mountain range in the past and know areas in which i will hunt again this upcoming year, but i recently ran into an old friend stating that...

another way for NM to make more money and ruin a great heard. Just like the slaughter they did with ibex. Now quality and quantity are ****.

Agree 100%. Too many guided hunters wound and keep hunting. There should be a rule, that all hunters regardless of being guided or not must stop hunting once an animal is wounded. But like the many other rules that aren't followed, this will just add to that list. I'm personally for the...
