So I am a NR. Applied for and did not draw a tag in a unit that now has leftover tags. It was my understanding that if all the tags weren't drawn, then they would go to the other applicant pools for that same hunt and unit. I guess I was mistaken?? I know, I am a NR, but it feels like a slap in...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-31-15 AT 11:53AM (MST)[p]I know this is a long shot but thought I would try. I have a unit 34 Muzzle loader/rifle tag in hand. It is from my families ranch. It is unit wide. I had a deal worked out with a man to swap for a unit 34 archery tag. That deal fell through for lack...

and that's how the draw turned out for me. Haven't drawn a tag in NM since the blue collar hunters got the coals poured to them with the reallocation of the NR tags. So I guess that means it is time to start buying tags if I want to hunt in the state at all. So I might as well target a tag...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-13 AT 04:37PM (MST)[p]Quick question for any of those in the SE part of the state. How feasible would it be to try and find a patch of private ground to pay a trespass fee on to hunt in Unit 31/33? It would be for late season Archery. I never really hear of guys talking...

I am sure there are a few of you guys that like to waterfowl hunt. I got a new toy for Christmas and have been slowly learning the ropes with it. Here are a few shots from recent hunts

Do you guys do as hobbies or to keep you busy in the off season. I enjoy reloading and shooting along with fishing. I am also a pretty avid runner.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-26-12 AT 09:56PM (MST)[p]Well, I am 45 minutes in to attempting to submit my applications for the draw. I know I waited until the last minute but goodness, I figured that I would be just a touch ahead of the epic failure that is fixing to happen with the online system. Back...

Well after spending 8 days in SE NM chasing Muleys around, I figured I would give a small report. I have never seen the rut going as hard as I did during this period. The bucks were so involved that it actually made it tough to chase/keep up with them. I saw more mature bucks than I ever...

I am getting pretty antsy myself. My body will be at work through Friday but my mind will be elsewhere. How many others will be out after them come Jan 1?

I lucked out again with a great public land archery buck to finish my season off here in Oklahoma. In the spirit of hunting Muleys, I spot and stalked this buck and was able to shoot him at 10 steps. Now I am geared up about a January 1 Archery hunt and a whole lot of waterfowl hunting in...

it was killed in deep sand country. Sage brush and Shinnery makes it look like NM anyways. I was lucky enough to tag this guy yesterday evening. Our muzzleloader season kicks off today and the area I was hunting(public ground) gets hunted pretty hard during muzzy and rifle seasons. It helps...

Well the first half of the early archery elk season is in the books...... How did it go? I will be headed out that way this Thursday for about ten days. I hope you guys that have been out there chasing them have had good luck. Overall, how is the hunting going for all that are??

So I guess this is what you do when you get one of these tags. I am amazed at this. If this is for real, I would assume this was a raffle tag and can't believe that you would do this with the tag. Either way, his/her choice I guess. http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/spo/2467131972.html

I am pretty impressed with the number of tags leftover this season. Tons of youth cow elk opprotunity out there.

We all know that this unit was used and abused in years past but it has been a few years since the NMDGF has cut back on the tags (Elk) they issue for the unit. Has anybody seen a change in heard structure in this area. My first guess would be that there isn't much change given that the LO tags...

Few photos from the season so far. Had a great archery hunt out that way this season. It was a tough hunt and very humbling. Few waterfowl pics Had to show the wife that her truck made a pretty handy goose rig as well.

Well, I know Stinky is down in that country, anybody else able to comment on how the rut has shaken out or is shaking out in the southeast? Will be headed that way for the holidays and then headed back for the January hunt

Looks like roughly 2700 left over deer tags. That should help a few guys and gals out in getting hunt this season. http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/publications/press_releases/documents/2010/071510releases.html#youth

Hey guys, I was curios to know what to expect out of labor day weekend in the way of campers/atv/fun seekers. In the forest, specifically unit 34. I have never hunted that early in the season so I have never had to worry about it. I have seen what the place looks like during other summertime...

So New Mexico is the only western state that I have put in for mule deer and elk huts. This season is the first season that I will pay the fees upfront. My question is for those of you that have seen this system get started in other states. Do you guys feel like this system will make the number...
