Blessed to be able to go hunting with my daughter. Her first big game animal hunt! It all came together opening day evening with a perfect 200yd shot. She was so excited. And.... some pics....

Archery antelope started already, rifle hunts in 6 days. Elk & deer in 3.5 weeks. Who's counting down? My daughters first hunt ever is antelope in 6 days. Don't know who is more excited her or myself! We have been shooting a lot she is ready to go. Good luck, shoot straight, and tag that big...

...getting close to the deadline. I applied after 03/05/22 because new CC month... me, wifey & kiddos are in. Good luck to all on here as long as not taking my tag! ? Are you in? Waiting till last minute so you'll be on top of the pile? What's your secret to getting drawn? Ha.

After 6 days of covid fever it finally broke and I was able to take my 9yr old son on his hunt. Made it there late afternoon on 2nd day of the hunt. Had a hour to hunt that day and my son made the best of it! 80yd shot with muzzleloader with only minutes left of legal light. Proud of him...

As luck would have it, the year I FINALLY draw my first ever bull tag, the wifey draws her first ever bull tag ON THE SAME DATES! She had the first MB rifle tag in the Valli Vidal, I was headed South on a muzzleloader hunt. I got her a guide and her brother went with her as I wasn't missing my...

my 8yr old son shot his first big game animal yesterday afternoon. Yeah, he is hooked now!

Do you think there is really going to be a meat shortage? I kinda do, already see it at Costco today. I think people are going to see a shortage of meat and go crazy again with any/all food. I am prepared, not worried. Also feel blessed I have a cow elk from late last year. Also two awesome...

Got my assigned ranch map in the mail today. That was quick. Good job NMDGF! Anyone else get theirs yet?

I was blessed with a deer and speedgoat tag this year. First time I have been assigned to a Ranch chasing speedgoats. I got the Kenyon Ranch in Unit #32 close to Ft Sumner I believe. Anyone hunted there? Looked it up on the A+ list, it says Enrolled Private Acreage is 4,343 and Enrolled Public...

You always seem to do good.... How good was it? Nada for me but seems every other year I do good and it was my off year so no big surprise... Still bummed though.

I must be doing something right lately! Got a phone call this morning from NMDGF and was offered a antelope tag in the NE part of the state on a ranch. Of course I accepted! :) Just waiting on the Raton office to send me the ranch assignment now. I already drew the late 2B deer rifle hunt...

Let's hear it! 2b late rifle deer for me! Also unit 15 ML cow tag! Whoo hooo!

Ok... MAYBE not quite but I think (correct me if I am wrong) that the draw results are back to April 23rd. I thought that on the NMDGF website it had said April 30th.... but looking today it says April 23rd! So if you are thinking the 30th still maybe you will get backdoored on the 23rd or...

I just wanted to be the first at something... Ha. Unit 50/52 muzzleloader hunt. Tagged out opening morning (today) at 11:30 or so. Chasing em all morning then sit my tired happy butt down for lunch and they were nice enough to let me finish before walking out in front of me. Taking good pics on...

Took my ML out today to get ready for my upcoming ML antelope hunt. Goal for today was to be comfortable out to 200yds... Here is my setup. TC Triumph Bone Collector with Leupold UltimateSlam 3-9x40mm scope. At 200yds here is what it looked like. After shot #1, and #2 I made a adjustment and...

For those interested, the leftover tag list us up on the NMDGF website and tags go on sale July 11th at 10:00am! First come, first serve so better be quick! :)

With the draw a week away who is all done applying and who is waiting till the last minute to crash the system??? I'm happy to say I am done! A buddy attaching to my app, well, I guess he's waiting till the last minute.

My hunting season started in December... after months of waiting I am hunting offrange oryx and just got back from my ML cow elk hunt. No luck yet on the oryx... Elk hunting... with some snow we didn't hunt where I had previously scouted. To high with too much snow. So new to the area... Day...

Well, I have a late ML cow hunt (Dec 10th - 15th) in unit 15. Went scouting over the summer and into the first part of Sep. but then work started out of town and couldn't get back. I don't know that the elk will be in the same area on this late hunt. Any tips on good areas if I can't find them...

There has been a few on range hunts lately... and off range hunting year round... but NO pics on here since (I think) July!?!? Anybody been hunting? I got a Dec off range hunt and am getting pumped to go!!! :)

LAST EDITED ON Aug-02-11 AT 08:51PM (MST)[p]Did you notice it's out now? Think it's been out for a few days! 40% success rate last year for my hunt this year! I like my odds! :) Just a cow tag, but I'm stoked! Gotta wait till Dec to hunt though!!! Linky...

I know there are at least a couple MM members that have the July off range oryx hunt. Good Luck!!! Shoot a big one and take lots of pics! It keeps the rest of us sane seeing some hunting pics till our hunts come up! Mine is in December offrange... Oh yeah, and try to stay cool and not start any...

Ok, here goes. Why lie? I have never even seen a blade of grass in Unit 15 but applied anyways and got drawn! :) Dec 10-14 ML cow hunt! I am fat, lazy, and have no intention of scouting one bit. I am not looking for general areas to hunt, I want honey holes and GPS coordinates!!! Preferably a...

Got a call from my CC company a few days ago, had a fraud charge and they closed the account and got me a new card with different numbers. Don't think it will affect the draw at all since all the hunts were pay up front, but (hopefully not) if I get a refund to a old account #### what'll happen...

Wow, that was quick! Didn't expect it for another couple of weeks! Good year for me already! Better then last year anyways... :)

...when there is not much hunting going on and the New Mexico section turns into a lot of political talk (or whatever you wanna call it). I don't get into it much, I'm just waiting for the next draw to see if NM is nice to me this year (nicer then last year anyways)! I had a fun archery...

Hey guys! I usually visit the New Mexico section... but this hunt is in AZ so thought you might lend a hand! Taking my niece hunting for a doe on the Navajo Nation unit #12. Went up there 2 weeks ago scouting and saw a few deer kinda high but thinking it might snow before the hunt on November...

Got my Antelope Population Management hunt tag (ANT-5-100) along with the wifeys in the mail yesterday but there is no ranking number on it! I know last year they screwed up the numbers, but there is NO ranking number this year. Anybody else get there tag yet? Guess I'll be calling or stopping...

I know for the Stallion range hunt there are taxidermists camped outside the gate, is it the same at the McGregor Range hunt? I have the March hunt and if I 1) get lucky and get one that I would like to mount 2) be able to load it in the truck without quartering it Then I would rather pay the...

I was lucky enough to get drawn for a oryx hunt in Feburary on the Fort Bliss/McGregor range! I have NOT received ANYTHING from them as far as instructions, access fee, maps.... Is this normal? Has anyone else hunted there or got drawn there and received anything yet? Is Fort Bliss/McGregor...

Well, I am kinda new here, but seems like a great place! Here is the Wifey's and My NM Unit 37 Bucks! Both got on the second day of the hunt. Hers was Sunday evening we walked the long way (1.5 miles) to the edge of a meadow... saw a buck and 3 doe 400 or 500 yds. away. sun had just gone down so...
