    Muzzleloader Bull Success

    We need some more bull photos up so I figured why not share my story? A friend and I had a tag in 17 and found a good spot for bulls on the edge of a wilderness area. We knew we were in for a tough hunt but didn't appreciate it enough until the boots were on the ground and we hiked 25 or so...

    Hunting by Ski Spache for Elk

    My kid has a youth encouragement hunt in 36 and we're trying to tag out his first big game. I can not see a boundary on land ownership files or topos for the Ski Apache area in regards to no hunting. Are there fences there, because it appears most of it is on national forest north of the...

    Javelina OTC

    So are they all (1000) sold out or am I blind on the site?

    Opening Day Zoo?

    I'm driving up from NM and will be hunting my first general bull tag. I've been researching quite a few units and have been getting some advice from various contacts, which I appreciate. One thing that was sort of hinted by one guy was that they prefer to hunt a little after the opening day...

    Rookie Duck Hunting Question

    Well no luck on drawing crane this year so I thought I would try to learn duck hunting with my kids but I am coming with no experience in it. I'll be hunting in Socorro or a bit up north, probably La Joya. My plan is to wade hunt over some decoys so: What species decoy should I get? I assume...

    Fly Fishing in SF or Taos Area in Late June?

    I'm looking to go fly fishing up in the area between Santa Fe and Taos with my brother in late June. He's visiting from out of state and helping me have fun while I turn the big 4-0. Since I'm a complete rookie at fly fishing (he's done it before) and don't know that much about the northern...

    Butchers That Do Summer Sausage in NM?

    I can't find anyone local to Socorro that can do summer sausage with our game meat. Does anyone have a favorite butcher in ABQ, TorC or in between? I guess Cruces is an option too. Thanks.

    Any MRGV Cranes?

    I've been scouting my area of Socorro, from San Antonio up through Lemitar, and they are really slim this year. It's just too damn dry. Anyone else hunting cranes and seeing the same thing? My plan is to hit up the Bernardo area now.

    It's Been Tough Waiting, But..

    I finally get to hunt! These damn last cow hunts seem so far off once you guys start chasing bulls with your bows in September, but it's now my turn. Off to 17 and off of the grid! Hopefully we all get some results posted on here of late cow success once we all get back in. Ephraim

    Any Turkey Sightings in 17

    Hi guys, A buddy of mine is heading out in 17 to hunt turkey in the next few days. He's been trying damn hard here for the past three years to connect with a recurve, but with no luck. He's actually never even gotten any big game, and sure picked a hard method to learn how to hunt, but he has...

    Packout in 36?

    Anyone here recommend a packer (mules, horse) in unit 36? This is for the weekend only of Oct 7-8. I expect we will be hunting just inside the wilderness from Monjeau.

    Hike-in Fishing in Northern NM?

    Hi all, I grew up in Cruces and don't know much about the northern part of the state. Living in Socorro now, it's that much easier to get up and explore some places with my young boys. Can anyone recommend a fishing spot that we could hike in to and camp at? Ideally I'm looking at some .5-3...

    Drew Cranes in Middle Rio Grande Valley - A Few Questions

    It was sure nice to find out that me and 3 buddies drew for sandhill cranes today. I am in that funk where I'm stoked for the guys who get to go hunt elk starting tomorrow but my cow hunt in December feels SOOO far off. This will be a first time hunt for all of us, so I'm looking for any advice...

    Cabela's XL Outfitter Cot w/ Lever Arm

    I recognize this isn't the classifieds, but if anyone wants one cheap, I'll sell you my great condition cot for $75 if you come and get it in Socorro. The go for $120 new. It is easy to setup and HUGE. I ended up getting 4 Cam-O-Cots and really don't need a 5th cot.

    Want an oryx hide?

    Random post but I'm hoping to get an oryx on one of the next weekends during a badged hunt and I'm curious if anyone in Cruces, TorC or Socorro would want the hide (that's my route home). It seems like a waste of such a neat hide, but I don't have a use for it. Normally I'd quarter it up since...

    Meat Locker in Unit 36 (Ruidoso)

    Anyone here recommend a meat locker in Ruidoso where I can hang a deer if I tag early but my buddies don't?

    Any 36 Elk hunters see deer

    I'm hoping to head up to scout again in the next two weeks but I was curious if anyone here had seen some bucks while chasing bulls. My last trip for deer gave me nothing but elk up by Monjeau and Gavilan ridge.

    Unit 36 Muleys

    Hi all, I (and a few friends) drew unit 36, 2nd rifle this year and I'm already looking forward to hopping over from Socorro and learning the terrain. Can anyone recommend an area to camp out of or otherwise use as a starting out point to begin exploring? I'm thinking good trailheads or...
