last year I drew the M.I. antelope and took a very nice, wide 82" buck on the first afternoon, I did miss 7 shots at 3 other antelope first thing in the morning. it took me that long to realize my scope had shifted and I was shooting a full foot high at 200 yards. that sucked butt big time ! we put a freak of nature to bed the night before the opener, got about 1/2 hour of videotape at 92-300 yards and by all acounts he would hit 90"+ I missed him 3 times.
I did NOT draw the elk hunt at all, that was not good as I knew two other hunters who did draw and had very VERY successful hunts, with both taking bulls over 300"
My son did'nt apply with me last year for the general deer hunt, I drew one unit 24 tag myself. however the week prior I was in colorado taking that pig of a buck up there and by the time I got back home and had that deer taken care of I could not even go on the new mexico deer hunt. I spent my wad on the colorado trip and did'nt have the fuel money, or the additional two hundred seventy dollars for the actual non resident tag for that deer hunt. I did great in colorado so I wasn't really worried about the new mexico hunt until I got some photos from other guys who had that tag as well. they took some monsters in deed. I will NOT skip ANY hunts this fall no matter what I have to do I am freaking going if I draw !!!!! so good luck to everyone.
I AM PROUD TO BE WHITE !!!!!
