On second thought (if G&F are trolling the boards), the last post meant to say that Gartner should be doing a best in class NM State Information Technology Report on Game & Fish. JBone

Highly doubtful....they were working on production systems during the day...that is straight up novice!!! However, they should have had enough experience over the years to document and mitigate back doors. Not saying just saying... JBone

Applications viewable again. Tested old oryx backdoor....no luck which may/may not mean anything (probably not). Couldn't find any discrepancies with the way any of the applications looked. The delete option is definitely gone which means the draw is in process, going to be in process, or is...

It is an HTTP 500 error. Either maintenance or an error on their site.... I would tend to agree that something is going on. If it is not maintenance, which I tend to think it would not be since it is Monday AM...should be done transparent to the end user, then it sounds like a programming...

All I got a good friend who texted me saying that he may be in need of a horse packer in unit 39 - near Medicine Wheel. If you know of one or if you are one, please post or PM me. I will send text to buddy. Thanks. JBone

Thanks for the replies. I did a search on here about eating them. One person had a really bad experience from it (trichinosis - from undercooked bear meat), and the rest seemed equally divided between awful and great. I eat all the animals I kill - deer, elk, buffalo, antelope, oryx, barbary...

What do you guys thank of it? Any good recipes for it? Do you have the butcher add fat to it when it gets processed? Thanks. JBone

I'd sell it and buy land in an elk unit that would net you a LO tag every year....by the way, CONGRATS!!!! JBone

...will be coming soon. My bet is Monday...Tuesday at the latest. Good luck!!! Jbone

I drew deer and son drew deer....no barbs...damn it anyway!!!!

Ok...so, last year, I was able to determine that my daughter drew an oryx tag by going into the license area and selecting a private license. When selected and added to the cart, the message was something like..."you cannot buy this license since you already have one." I tried this for ibex...

Very interesting subject....so, here is my 2 cents... I do a lot of hunting in areas with little to no cell phone signal. When I can, I prefer to bivy hunt. With this being said, I still bring my cell phone with me. When it comes to bivy hunting, I ALWAYS bring items which have multiple uses...

I am quite surprised as to the pure volume of outcries from nonresidents on the Terk issue. Why don't you lobby G&F for eliminating the outfitter allowance for tags (10%)? Wouldn?t you get more tags? Why don't you lobby for more access to federal lands across the west? Wouldn?t you get...

Thanks....will give them a call. JBone

Great videography!!! Didn't think there were any free ranging buff in NM. Thought only AZ and AK had them....details please. Jbone

Out of curiosity, where does one go in Albuquerque to sell furs? Thanks. JBone

OK....guess I'll go there....hmmm...lo feeling like they own the states resources on their land!!! That is the only thing I can come up with....he knows the rules, right?

All Bought a Primos Trigger Stick for my 11 year old daughter's oryx hunt. Worked as fine as one could ever expect. Then, I got to thinking - boy this would be great to be able to use a trigger stick not only as a rest but as a tripod for my spotting scope (Swaro). I always like combining...

Here are my 2 cents on this subject....suggestions/recommendations: 1. Spotting scopes are your best friend. Use them, use them, and use them. As stated above, when you are done using them, use them again. Barbs can be pretty hard to see when sitting down. When spotting, look for a...

1 thing that I forgot to add on my previous post....there was a comment made about hunting and not seeing anything versus not being able to hunt. This is first hand experience, my 11 year old daughter got her hunter safety in the spring of last year. She was so excited about hunting. She...

OK....so my daughter had youth tag for deer in 13, and I had an archery tag in 16. In 13, I saw 0 deer, and my friend saw 4 does. We hunted that area hard. In 16, we saw 18 deer (between Sept. and Jan.) with 3 being bucks....only 1 was OK with the other 2 being legal. I think the deer...

I'd say lady luck is on your side if they are letting hunters in....it would appear that their website is down. With that said, I am surprised, but glad to hear, that the hunts are on. Good luck!!! I have hunted it before, and it is a great unit. If it is truly wide open to hunt (meaning no...

I have been thinking about purchasing one of the Unit 13 Youth Cow Elk tags for my daughter....eith the Nov-Dec or the Dec. tag. Does anyboy have any experience with this unit or hunt for the youths? I have looked at the success stats for these hunts and they are not too impressive. Thanks...

Dude....she didn't miss. She WOUNDED it!!!!! Sorry but 420 and running....wow....something I would never attempt or think about for that matter. Nice sheep for your son, congrats.

Ya gotta do something while you are sitting water, trails, wallows, etc....

I have 2 Garmins - an etrex summit and a 60CSx. The 60 is great!!! As for the smartphone, keep your eyes on them....they are going to change the landscape when it comes to GPSs. I have one that I have used for the mapping capability....awesome....does not need cell service to operate. I put...

Thanks Mulecreek....the best way of saying that....nice one???? HMMMMMM........What exactly does that mean anyway???? Forget it - don't want to know. JBone

Personally, I think anyone who drew 16A or 16B is hosed. Just don't see the units opening this year for hunting. In the best case scenario, I see portions of the units open for hunting....the non-burnt areas. The FS won't allow people into the burnt areas for their public safety - namely...

Smoke is nasty bad last and today as well. Live over at eubank and paseo and could barely see down the block at one point. Pretty sad all the way around.... Jbone

A muzzle!!!

Hope it will be better for the last rifle hunt.....leaving on Wed at noon to scout prior to season. Haven't had this tag for quite some time....hope it pays off. JBone

Yea, keep us posted. Leaving on the 3rd for the last Nov. rifle hunt in 2b.....can't wait. Didn't draw elk...so got a good deer tag instead. Hopefully, the deer will show up for the hunt!!! JBone

From http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/commission/index.htm, "Due to the high volume of public comments received regarding draft rules under consideration, the State Game Commission meeting previously scheduled for September 30th has been postponed. This postponement is to allow for additional...

I can't believe that I am going to agree with Stinky....but count me in on what he said!!!! JBone

Awesome video and great post!!! JBone

JACOB2006 - for shizzle!!!!

WAKE UP....... then, the day will come that LOs will have issues with animals on their land, and who will they need help from?????? Yes, that would be the hunters!!!! Either the ranchers are in it for domesticated animals or they are in it for the wildlife.....if they are in it for the...

Jamaro Appreciate the info....would never have known.....great notice by G&F!!! Anyway, unfortunately I will not be able to attend, but they sure will be getting comments from me as well as a cc to the policitians that I support in NM. Please see...

Looks like the hard work from the NMWF is paying off.....cries and attacks from LOs and guides/outfitters..... It is about time NM has a political organization that is willing to put it where it counts when it comes to hunting....we have never had it here in NM like this before.... I see the...
