    Any feedback on meat processor

    Anyone ever use Bighorn Meat up in Buffalo WY for wild game processing? I'm a NR hunter and am hopeful for a pair of WY tags this year. If that happens I'll be in a situation where meat spoilage may be a concern, normally I'm a "one and done" harvest and head straight home kind of guy, but if I...

    Public Land Pronghorn, Unit 24

    I just wanted to offer my story up. I don't have pictures of an amazing buck, but as soon as I get them downloaded, I will have one or two stills...but what I do have is a humble story of a new hunter and a unique perspective that may speak to other new hunters out there. I just returned from...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    What horrible luck....and I remember you mentioning (that like me), you were out there in your daily driver...so that's gotta suck. I was straight up with my wife and I told her that I thought my lack of mobility around the unit hampered me quite a bit and although I have no intention of...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    It was a long and rough hunt. If you've never been to this part of NM, the Gila mountains, and seen it for yourself, well I just don't have the photographic skills to give you an idea for what you're up against. My first big hike there was nine LINEAR miles, as measured by my GPS, but with all...

    Were you in a White truck? I remember you well...so well I've spoken to my family about you, I hope you and your friend did well...I was just getting ready to post my "wrap up"....it's taken me a while to wrap my mind around the experience...hope we run into each other again...I met so many kind...

    GMU 16A-Heavy Smoke on western side

    I'm leaving Tuesday around 3 am, but I've got a longer drive...so better start early old man! LOL...but seriously, I hope we bump into each other. You can't miss my gaudy truck if it's parked at camp...grey f-150 with distressed American flag on the side and New Mexico DV plates..

    My 2020 utah General unit bull.

    Congrats on your bull and the quick wits to shift from "cam collecting mode" to "game on!".... further proof that it really can happen that fast...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    Thanks so much for the advice...I'm still trying to see about a couple of folks that are showing some interest.. It's weird because I have some folks showing some "soft" interest but you can't really hang your hat on that.... But that terrain is no joke...Thankfully I don't live at sea level...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    Thanks again for the words of wisdom Muleman.... I'm truly taking in all these words of wisdom...and I can't thank this community enough for being so gracious with the advice and tips. To be honest I wasn't sure how the "old heads" out there would take to a newcomer like me...coming hat-in-hand...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    Thanks for the reminder... You know...the time I've spent in the wilderness has truly been priceless. Every person I've stopped to speak with has been a joy, well to me anyway, lol. I just finished cleaning out my chest freezer, the primary reason of freezing block ice to take with me (I fill...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    So I've made the mistake of misjudging this terrain a few months back..and I won't underestimate it again... I'm just going to savor the hunt...hope to find an animal I can bring to bear in my crosshairs, and then if it all comes together and I can enjoy those few seconds of elation ....snap a...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    You've been a great source of encouragement and advice Geno...but as I mentioned in this latest update...the second guessing and doubts are starting to creep in...and not without cause. A couple of months ago, they were more evident...but this last trip (and smoke was a factor...I'll admit) but...

    GMU 16A-Heavy Smoke on western side

    I guess it could have been this fire...I just can't believe I had such a long, uninterrupted LOS to this fire...now I could only see it in the dark, and it was just the orange glow in the naked eye...but this is the only one that makes sense but man oh man, did it fill the valleys in my area...

    GMU 16A-Heavy Smoke on western side

    Temps were maybe into the low 40's. I sleep in a tent with an extra sleeping bag and am comfy. It's a little chilly getting moving in the morning, but this is how I plan on doing it...I need to message you and figure out where you guys are going to be, I'd love to try and stop by and say HI...

    GMU 16A-Heavy Smoke on western side

    So I just got back from my last opportunity to scout before my elk hunt and the western side of the unit is covered in smoke. When I arrived on Tuesday afternoon I noticed the smoke but the smell wasn't heavy..at first I thought this might be some continental drift from out of state, but as soon...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    Well I just got back from my last scouting opportunity before "1st Rifle" in this unit and as any of my faithful readers already know...as a first time Bull hunter...I've somehow found myself at the same time full of excitement...and full of "second guesses"... I've read, and re-read all the...

    Amazing animal! I'll be heading out to the Gila early this week for my last scouting trip before my rifle hunt in mid Oct....pics like these are really keeping the excitement up!

    Backpack Recommendation

    Initial Ascent pack I've recently purchased has been a game changer. When you look at it's innovative frame design and focus on the versatility of the notches that can be used to carry your rifle during hike in/stalk, and how those can then be used to each support a quarter, while you strap the...

    NM Bugle Report

    I was in 16A this week, nothing but a few barks and mews in the pre-dawn darkness, gotta admit i was a bit disappointed, was hoping for a bit more noise at this point. But as for noise, lots of atv's/utv's off in the distance as I hiked around the deep stuff...not sure if this had any impact on...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    thanks for the positive feedback, I guess my timing was just bad. I'm already pushing the negatives out of my mind, focusing on the lessons learned, tightening up my gear and focusing on e-scouting and my archery deer tag coming up next week (another FIRST for me!) I wish the archers and limited...

    NM 16A, Anyone with firsthand knowledge?

    Well I've missed posting my last couple of trips for a couple of reasons...and man...have I been thrown a curve ball. Two trips ago, I was hitting a peak...seeing amazing movement, running into bulls on the move. I mean it was really starting to peak, the excitement was ever building....but then...

    Just curious!!

    I just got a copy of WY hunting regs, abbreviated version I think, a couple of days ago...sort of a double edged sword, has me pumped up, but also a bit nervous as I'll only have the last couple of weeks of the Pronghorn season as it conflicts with other hunts, and since I'm in a "limited...

    Antelope hunting within city limits

    I'm glad you took it as I intended it. I fancy myself as a "peacemaker", of sorts, and I definitely don't want to fan the flames of a situation that's already a bit out of hand. Personally, I hate the written word for this sort of thing, so much human communication is transmitted via non-verbal...
