I was fortunate enough to be called for population management hunt for FI ibex last month. Checked in my head and did all the paperwork. Supposedly there's a special draw for a Billy tag for successful hunters on this hunt. Anyone know when that happens or if it already did?

LAST EDITED ON Dec-30-15 AT 03:20PM (MST)[p]Anyone hear about this one? Anything to add? Puts a new spin on ibex hunts...

As I was nervously waiting for any unpaid hunts to become available, I noticed there were five hunts not in the mix... And after sold out two more just appeared out of thin air.... Screenshots to prove the last one....

Ok all you experts. Is this the same bull? I'm leaning towards it is.

Went out yesterday morning to try and locate a good ram. Didn't really have much hope that I would be able to with the wind and all but it turns out that if you get out there and put some leather on the ground you actually see critters! Didn't see anything until about 11:00am and then they...

Since the fam had me carving anyways.....lol

For a crew that didn't know a thing about oryx besides a few Outdoor Channel shows, we didn't do too bad.... The whole "crew". Wouldn't trad this trip for the world. (He doesn't smile very often!)

Well, since NMDGF wasn't too kind with the tags this year I have a little vacation time to burn. Is anyone in the know out any fairly large shoots this year? I always make the thunderbird in Weed but this year a scheduling conflict at work is going to prevent that one I hear of one at the...

C'mon Paul. I know you guys have a ggod one anchored by now and I gotta see.... Too busy around here to come join in but my heart is right up there with ya'll.....

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a signature on Photos? Wife wants to "sign" her pics but I don't have a clue how to do it....

Not many on here braggin' about drawing my favorite tag this year.... So who drew all those archery ibex tags? I'm so depressed I just might take up fishing or some other pointless endeavor! Maybe needlepoint???

No emails for cookie2 this year. Just checked my online account.... WTF???? INELIGIBLE??? Someone help me to figure out how they can hold onto $500 of my hard earned dollars for two plus months and then at the last minute say INELLIGIBLE??? I'm not on any kind of list whatsoever and I know...

The Artesia Bowmasters are putting on a 3D shoot next weekend. We're trying to get the club up and running again. If anyone is interested I'll get the info and post it up.

I've been cruising around e-bay, bad idea, I know... I have a question. It looks like my budget is never going to get to the place where I can get some really good glass for my Olympus E-510 so I'm wondering.... If you were in my shoes, would you go with the Sigma 70-200mm or would the 50-500...

Here's an easy one, especially being as I found the damn thing! lol. The question is, how many do you find in places like this?

I have been searching the net for the last hour trying to find where the fire is up in 30 or 34 and there is absolutely NOTHING online about it but I can see the smoke! Paul, you have any info for me?? I'm afraid Stinky found some Lapua heat seekers and is trying a 1760yd shot! lol...

I am starting to experiment with my E-510 and liking shooting in manual more and more every day. Is there anyone here that can offer a little advice as to what I should be doing differently? My usual willife encouters are early morning and late evening so the shutter speed is usually having to...

It's been a long time since I was on this forum. I have been really trying to get some good wilflofe photos but that 70-300 Zuiko just doesn't have a whloe lot of reach! I am currently in the market for a better telephoto lens but it's looking like I'm VERY limited in my choices... I think I'm a...

Well the ole man did it again this year. After passing a couple of decent bucks we located this ole dude and he gave us a heck of a hard time but Dad hung in there and got the job done. Had to do quite a bit of walking and he is DEFINITELY paying for it today but quit just isn't in his...

Ok here's your classic "where do I go?" Post for anyone willing to help a feller out! My boss swears he had a dyslexic moment and didn't realize it until he got his successful notice from NMDGF. His hunt code was for 21B instead of unit 34. I haven't checked to see about the validity of his...

I have been trying to get a good picture of an antelope for years.... I think I finally got one today! http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/8287pretty_goat_1.jpg

Well it's been too slow in the NM forum lately so I'll start things back up! I hunted pretty hard in unit 31 this last week and although I saw a few pretty decent bucks it just wouldn't come together for me. I finally had it come together just before sundown last night. This guy was pushing a...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-15-10 AT 01:24PM (MST)[p]I got a swingblade for christmas and finally got my deer and got to try it out. It zipped through the brisket like it was butter but..... The blade rolled over in the process and now I'm at a loss as to how you get it sharp again! The skinner is no...

I just figured out my problem and now I need a little help in fixing it. I have noticed that I can hit doves flying left to right with deadly results. Right to left go untouched. Two days ago I had a snow goose show me the problem. I was leading the second goose in the flock to the point of...

I sure am relieved that our great state has gotten the crime rate down so low that all the NMSP has to do is sit in busy intersections and watch for frikken SEAT BELT VIOLATIONS!!!!! Sorry bastages just trying to collect a little revenue so uncle BILL can try and make ends meet after the...

After two days of trying we finally got it together around noon today and got dad his deer. It wasn't easy given all the able bodied slobs running EVERY road all day long in 34. We finally decided that if he was going to get one he was going to have to get out there and hoof it a little. Drug...

Mom drew the female/immature ibex tag and got it done this morning. I will post pics and story soon!!!

I hear it from VERY GOOD source that a 42" bull went down on WSMR recently. I still haven't seen any pics on here. Someone has GOT to get on the ball and fill us in. It's HIGHLY unethical to allow this type of speculation to run rampant without pics. Stinkystomper.... Do you have any info on...

Anybody else gonna make this one? The thunderbird got me back in the game and dying to go fling some more

I drew unit 23 first hunt on a third choice. I had this same hunt five years ago and was into the elk but not too pleased with the total experience of the unit. Trying to figure out how much of the unit holds elk and where to start looking. I plan on making several trips over there this summer...

I've been reading a few post's lately and there are a few on here who are more than a bit misinformed. Let me clear up a few things for those of you who seem to be talking a little bit of garbage. I have hunted with stinky a LOT. His hunt is going to go as follows: His "guides" will have...

How much snow did you get up there last night Paul? Kinda batting around the idea of an afternoon shed excursion tomorrow but don't wanna freeze the old a$$ off!!

Ok, I finally got my elk back from the taxi and I gotta say, he looks AWESOME!! The problem is that the wife says he STINKS!!!???!? I think she narrowed it down to the horns but all I can smell is dirt and tree sap there. Anyone else had this problem and if so can we do something about it...

Went out goofing this afternoon and ran into these two young lovers.... My buddy was quite unnerved by them but I had to get the shot. He would have preferred I shot with something a little more lethal but I think I'm getting softer with age!!

I just found out my elk is done at the taxi and wouldn't you know it I'm tapped out for a little while!!!! Selling the chevy and if anyone needs a good guide it knows ALL my favorite haunts! All you gotta do is figure out how to get it to tell you!!!

My grand-daughter got her first buck. I couldn't be prouder.

Here's a shot my wife took that I think is the BOMB! Don't know how she got all that color in there(she says cuz she's good!) but I love it.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-01-09 AT 07:48PM (MST)[p]Well, let's try and see how this turns out.... It's day one and it turned out EXACTLY like I figured it would. I had to order a new daypack as SOMEONE, I wont name any names but his intials on here could be SS, left the cap off the diesel tank in his...

I'm saving up as soon as I get back from my ibex hunt and am going to have a new lens for my E-510 soon. It's narrowed down but being as I'm new to this I have no clue as to which way to go. I want the sharpest I can get for the money so do I want the sigma 50-500 or is it the zuiko 70-300 with...

Well, it's almost time and as usual I ain't even close to ready! My ibex hunt starts in 11 days and I learned a couple of things last year so I'm pretty pumped. I'm looking for ideas from all on here as to what you would be taking up on the rock to make this hunt successful. My plan is to stay...
