The map you are seeking is the Mt. Taylor Ranger District map. It encompasses Unit 9 Mt. Taylor AND Unit 10 Zuni Mtns. If they haven't changed the color the district map cover should be purple (at least the latest version I have is purple). I would also look at the Cibola NF website and look at...

Although I've relocated back to my home state of AZ this past summer, I was fortunate to hunt NM in 2014. I had 2 tags total this year, 1 in NM and 1 on my home reservation here in AZ. I was successful on my archery elk hunt in NM, however I was solo on the harvest and wasn't prepared to take...

Very nice!! Congrats!!

"haven't seen him in 3 years"......ummm, maybe you should walk your fenceline more often.

Took this buck a few days ago. Although it wasn't the big buck we thought its still a nice antelope. The rain made for difficult hunting conditions but enjoyed every minute of the hunt. MBBGH

I know its not NM but thought I'd share with fellow New Mexican MM'ers. It was a fun hunt and we looked over a lot of antelope. The amount of rain The Flagstaff area received this year was incredible. Being from Flagstaff I don't ever remember a summer with this much rain. It certainly is a...

Maybe I missed it, but I was looking to see if I could print off my leftover javelina tag and it only shows a purchase for the tag. Anyone have any information? just curious... MBBGH

Nice Bull......haha, I know exactly where that hunt took place...I killed a bull off that same tank during the same archery hunt on day 6 of the hunt. I think I might even have some game cam pics of that bull taken. Nice job Marc.... MBBGH

I noticed you posted this same thread on the Arizona Forum. It looks like it's been taken down. Hmmm.....interesting, wonder why? MBBGH

Everyone rush to find out which unit you drew!!! Congrats and goodluck to everyone.......5B Antelope here!! MBBGH

Looks like another antelope tag. Good luck to all those waiting to hear!! MBBGH

Here is the buck my buddy took in Unit 34. After a frustrating first two days of windy conditions, we were lucky enough to jump this guy out of his bed. He stood only 40 yards away in the thick PJ as he was riding out the windy cold front that came through. He stood just a little too long and...

Congrats, glad you found it. Sucks about the hide. MBBGH

It was a bitter sweet success for the first of October. My October started with a muzzleloader elk hunt on the Zuni Reservation. I harvested a bull, but the wrong bull. The bulls were screaming and going crazy and I was working my way in on a bull we'd seen the first day that would push 390...

Thanks to all for the compliments!! Haha Cody, Yeah, I don't post much though I've been on this website for a number of years. I like looking at all the animals harvested and I get a good laugh out of the some of the topics discussed on here, but I keep my opinions to myself and just enjoy...

Here is the buck I took on my AZ antelope hunt. It was tough to find a decent buck and there weren't many bucks to look at. This guy was the biggest I found. I heard there was a 90"+ buck running around the unit that had been seen by several reliable sources. I was looking for that buck only...

There is a taxidermist in Alamogordo. Mike Garcia, of Garcia Taxidermy and one of the best. He's also a member of National Taxidermist Association and won countless awards in the Master Class. I highly recommend. 575-491-4287. If you get a chance break away from scouting and go check out his...

Another change is the outfitter pool now includes residents. Which could affect the NR chances further. Page 17 Second paragraph. MBBGH

Jeff, Nice job!!! You know you can invite a brutha to go along all you have to do is call!!! Lol!! MBBGH

Zim, Congratulations on a great bull. The other bulls you've taken may be bigger, but as hard as the hunts have been; this one will be just as rewarding and maybe more memorable. MBBGH

Vini, Yes I co-own Medicine Bow Big Game Hunts. MBBGH

After a long archery season, I couldn't pass this bull up on the the 3rd to the last day. It was a tough hunt with 16 straight days of rain and not much rutting activity throughout much of the latter 2/3 of the hunt. It started out good and I passed a few bulls I should've taken (320's and...

Everything was green and lush. Watching water was useless,every dirt tank and guzzler had water. Horn growth should be very good this year around Flagstaff. MBBGH

After 4 long days of hunting in Arizona I found a buck I couldn't pass up. I passed up 20 bucks over the first 3 days and unfortunately missed a buck I had been looking for that we figured was 85". I never saw him again. However, I was happy to find this buck and take him. I taped him out at...

Nutt, That's alright, sleeping on the couch is kinda like camping anyway!! MBBGH

I just got an email stating i drew my first choice elk! Not a prank either!! Good luck to all an keep the emails coming!!! MBBGH

Tayhot, Sent you a P.M. MBBGH

I too was worried, but my checks cleared yesterday. Not sure why it takes so long for them to cash checks but I'm just glad I didn't miss out because I sent my apps in last minute this year. MBBGH

Good Thread! For me, I would say the digital camera. It makes a huge difference when you are trying to capture those trophy moments and not have to wonder how the pictures turn out until you get them back from the processor. +1 on everything else mentioned. MBBGH

NMPaul, There should be no regrets in hunting, only lessons learned. I congratulate you on a successful hunt and being able to share it with family and good friends. I hunt solo because I haven't found anyone that likes to hunt the way I do and/or wants to go with me. You'll find and harvest...

Yeah I was too lazy to take them off my pants ; ) But I'm glad I left them on I lost alot of weight getting back into the gym and needed the suspenders and a belt to keep my pants up. The two big bulls were taken on public land. The bull in the last picture was taken on the Rez. MBBGH

I believe about 35 Bull tags. Not sure on average per year, but that is what my buddy told me they allocated to tribal bull hunts. MBBGH

Congratulations on a your dad's bull!!! MBBGH

I've been texting my buddy who is a tribal guide and he says the biggest bull they've taken so far is in the 380 range. Overall average he says is running 350. His hunters have seen alot of big bulls but just couldn't close the deal. It does seem odd that this year seems down when you consider...

Thanks for all the compliments!! I've attached a few pics of the bulls I harvested last year. One is the 380 mentioned above and the other is the Rez tag I had last year, which I drew again this year. I hope my luck continues....... MBBGH

Both bulls were taken on public land. However, I do have a reservation tag for elk in two weeks. So, we'll see what happens. WapitiBob- Your absolutely right, Sitka Gear is money worth spending. I've used it two years now and the stuff is durable and is the most comfortable camo I've...

Here is my 2010 Archery Elk. It was a tough hunt with little bugling. Unfortunately for this guy, he bugled just a little too long and I was able to move in on him for a 24 yard shot. He green scores 375". He'll be a bookend to the 380" bull I killed last year. Good luck to those who have...

Was out this weekend and saw small rag horns with cows acting like big dogs!! All were hard horned and fairly dark so they must have shed velvet over the last couple of weeks. Heard one bull bugling every 5-10 minutes for an hour. I think I bumped them off a tank I was walking into to check...
