I have only looked through the BTX a couple times. I do know someone who has both and he said he feels the Kowa dual spotters are brighter and easier to pack (1 persons opinion). They are also straight eye pieces so you can sit down lower with them than the BTX. Although it isn't an exact...

Price drop to $2600

It's less bulky than the BTX system (and less weight than the Highlanders), but the BTX is modular so their weight and sizes vary.

Selling a set of Kowa dual spotting scope set up. If you haven't tried using Big Eyes yet, you don't know what your missing. Really awesome mid to long range glassing option without the weight of bulkiness of Highlanders or BTX. Comes with 2 Kowa Prominar TSN-664 spotting scopes mounted in a...

Hi all. I get to go to unit 70 for the 4th season hunt next week. My kid has a tag! It'll be my first time in the unit. I was wondering if anyone has been there recently and could tell me about the range (feed) conditions and if the deer have moved into the low country or are rutting yet? Thanks...

I haven't had luck in the draw and would really like to hunt barbary sheep. I haven't found an outfitter price that I can afford to bump up my odds. Does anyone know of private land opportunities out there? The NM game office said they don't know who offers hunts. Anyone with experince with...

Large unit with antelope spread out throughout. If you are just trying to kill a buck you should be fine without much knowledge if you have the time to wonder throughout the unit for a few days. There's so much country to cover you might consider a scouting package for a bigger buck like...

Pick up a left over tag in AZ after the draw if you don't get your mule deer hunt. There are always several units available in different hunts and you don't loose your accrued points. Pick one and try it for a couple years. You'll get to hunt each year and as you learn the unit you will likely...

I went just south of Socorro, east side of a mountain range. There was more private there than I expected and it was pretty open country. I didn't find much country to hunt nor water sources. We'll go before the hunt and try the other side of the unit, but that range looked pretty rough to get...

My 10 year old has drawn the youth hunt in unit 17. He's going for his first big game animal. We've made a scouting trip but still trying to figure out the unit. Can anyone help give me some info to understand where the deer may be in late November (type of habitat or elevations) or point me to...

My son will be going on his first big game hunt this fall in unit 17 on the youth only hunt. I have never been in the unit and hoping to get a couple scouting trips in before the hunt at the end of November. I'm wondering if anyone has been on that hunt before and can give me some ideas of where...

Thank you all for your input. I have not been able to find a west Texas hunt I can afford yet, but I'll keep looking. I haven't been lucky on the draw as of yet but will keep trying. That's why I am hoping to make the best of it if I do get lucky to draw.

I'm putting in yet again for barbary sheep. I really would like to see and hunt them. Any advise which group of units to try for as a nonresident for a decent chance at locating sheep? I could help out on advise in AZ. Thanks in advance.

I have been seeing a lot of new information on a west Texas aoudad outfitter that has some pretty competitive prices. I haven't heard of any personal experience yet but am monitoring them for a potential in the future. Check them out or post if you have experience with them. www.huntaoudad.com

Well, maybe keep "lots snow" in perspective. There has been 2 storms that have dropped snow over the last two weeks. First was about 2", the one early this week was about 4". Some elk have moved lower but there are still lots in the pines. It's pretty hard to get away from roads in 8 but...

Looking for quality help on a Barbary Sheep(aoudad)hunt. In exchange I can help out with a variety of game in Arizona. I can help with the draw side or there are a few over the counter hunts. OTC: archery mule deer in August/September archery mule deer in the rut, December/January archery...

Anyone hear of rifle manufactures that plan to have the 28 Nosler available other than Nosler? I know Browning has the 26 in 1 model this year and it seems like Savage is always open to the new calibers.

Hello MM community. I will be in the Alamagordo area in early April and wanted to try to locate some barbary sheep. I have never seen one in person but the area along the highway south of town looks similar to pictures I've seen of sheep habitat. Any experience or suggestions where to find some...

I have applied for Barbary Sheep for years but have never been drawn. Sometimes I think it is for the best since the handful of people I know that have ahd tags have never even seen a sheep. I'm putting in as usual, but am strongly considering an over the counter hunt for this year. The hunts...

I am hoping I can get lucky and find someone on here that could help me locate a place to hunt in 741. Trying to take advantage of finally drawing a deer tag. I would be glad to help with info in AZ. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Might check this out, looks like the cowboys found a way to make money off hunters again... www.huntbigboranch.com

post if you find one, can't turn one up either. Ammo is out for it though.

Very nice. I keep hoping for the tag with no luck so far. How does that 7-08 work out for you? Been thinking about that caliber but keep hearing about it only being a 250 yard max caliber.

Nothing here, that Barbary tag just won't come. What happened to it being an easy draw :)

I am kinda shopping around for a rifle that my wife & small son can use for hunting big game. I am not sure what caliber or rifle yet, but I have noticed a few lighter weight rifles in 7mm-08 and 6.5x284 that I would like to consider. I'm wondering how they compare for 1 and secondly, what kind...

not sure I understand the question for sure because first it seemed like you were asking for other good units other than the normal high profile ones. then your next post said you were wondering what the best units are. So I think you hit the best units with your first reply except missed 3c &...

I am wondering if anyone has information on hunting opportunities for tahr in New Mexico? I have heard about them several times. I would love to hunt them but doing the time out money will ever allow a trip to New Zealand. I could trade out some help in Arizona for several species. I know it's a...

Enjoyed the pictures. Post some more!

justr_86, what do you mean?

Hopefully it's buring threw the 110 year old junipers that have encroached the meadows and will open it back to grass growth (since fire stimulates grass growth and cycles nutrients back into the soil). So if it is not in the little bit of timber that exists on the Strip, than they should be...

Not sure if you were looking at a relectivity radar or precip, but unit 10 is dry and has been dry. Good storm went through some of the unit the last 2 days. It's as bad as I have seen it since 2002. We lost some bulls that we have watched for a couple years now and they turned up a LONG way off...

Stick with 12A west. 12B and 12AE can produce are not consistant enough to burn that many points on. My buddy did this after 14 points, got 12AE and was very dissapointed.

Lots of hunting pressure in the unit. Deer are in all elevations and vegetation types in the unit though. Most success is in the pines. They live in all the same areas as the elk, so if you don't see many that should give you an idea of the hunt. If your going to try it, I would stick with mule...

Well you said you won't draw a 13 tag, so if your looking at the Kaibab late hunts, your odds aren't much better to draw, so maybe you should continue to stick out the strip. 13A is a little easier to draw than b. Another option is consider the early Kaibab hunts. Same country as the late hunts...

I have a stainless rifle that has some rust on the bolt and a little on the barrel. Any ideas how to remove it?

From what I heard this did not include the national forest land, which is most of the 12a hunting area we know. The "Center " is always coming up with this type of stuff and they do have some political backing. They have kept several wildlife enhancement projects from happening on federal lands...
