    If you lost a 5x5 bull during the Youth/Mobility Impaired Hunt, PM me and I can put you on what is left of your bull. If not, I'll contact NMG&F for permission to pull the antlers/ivory. Kitty Cat tore it up bad, but they don't eat antlers... DC

    Elk outside of Santa Rosa

    My father-in-law owns a nice sized ranch south of Santa Rosa. Last leek he was down in the alfalfa fields along the river and heard something coming through the bosque. When it stuck its head out, he about had a heart attack thinking it was a MONSTER buck. Instead, he was shocked to see it...

    My Handle Holds True...Again!

    Sorry, but this is long... For those of you who have been around the NM forum for a while, you might remember that my moniker "luckless" has been reenforced more than once. My first elk hunt (back in 2008 w/ smokepole) went a bit different, though. I was able to get a second "shot" after my...

    The Lie That Wasn't, That Was...

    Guys, Believe it or not, Obama may not have lied about illegals not being covered in his bill. BUT, it was because he did not have to include them. State laws inmost states force hosptials to treat all who walk into an ER. State laws, not federal healh plans. So why pick up that ugly baby in...

    Time for a cabin trip with the kiddos

    Well guys, it looks like it is finally warm enough at 8000' to take my kids and a friend of theirs up to my cabin for an overnighter this year. We managed it once last year with the same group, so this year should be a blast. We should be able to finish the log fort we started last year (dubbed...

    2 for 2 Oryx Day

    Well, Jerry (Pray2Hunt) and I escorted some of my father-in-law's friends on range today and went 2 for 2. Infour hours the guys dropped a 34x33 cow and a 29x28 bull. They were not out for trophies, but both are extremely nice. The bull sounds short, but he has great mass. Pics to come. DC

    To Score or not to Score....

    All, I've never been one to care what an animal scored, but I have to admit that my curiosity got the best of me with my elk. Now, I'm wishing I would've skipped the taping. I was/am extatic about my bull and saw him as a monster bull, even if he had weak 2nd and 3rs on his 7 side. After...
