    New Mexico Unit 34 Elk Questions

    Bringing this thread back up. I was lucky and drew unit 34 archery (2nd) tag for 2024 🙌🙌 Already talking to prior tag holders and just found this thread. Hopefully people are willing to talk on here in DMs or phone call? I’ll hit up few members on here who seem active. Super excited for...

    HOWA questions here

    I have twice for their Pointer shotgun. Don’t remember exact timeframe (i think it was between seasons so nonissue for me). But I do remember it being fairly quick. Was very happy as they were friendly and quick to help answer questions/send a label/etc. no complaints.

    .45cal vs .50cal questions for 1st muzzy

    Thanks. I did end up getting everything I could possibly need for 2023 season. I ended up putting Ace in the Hole from Williams with piccatiny rail and put a scope on it. Scope will be for load development and for states that allow them. But easy enough to pop scope off and use open sights...

    WY General Elk - Who's In?

    that was my thinking too, but as you just checked and few others pointed out, looks like if i'm lucky in random i'll loose my points. which is fine but wanted to be sure.

    Sleeping pad suggestions?

    yea, not sure what few years ago is 3 or 10 :) but now R-value, just like ISO or EN ratings on sleeping bags, its all via 3rd independent party. don't quote me on this as there may be more than 1 lab that does these tests, but they all suppose to follow exact same standards to give our R...

    Sleeping pad suggestions?

    they are done by an independent lab, kind of like wear rating on a tire. manufacturers ultimately pay 3rd party lab to get these done, in exact same way. so yes R-Value are a real thing and one should look at them closely. 7.0 and 6.2 R values as you listed, both would be considered 4...

    NM draw is open.

    i will by applying but for high demand/low odds units. its just a lottery ticket at this point. but if i get lucky and draw, i'll be happy to give up any hunts in home state of CO to go on a quality NM hunt. what are the chances of drawing 2 tags with 0.1% odds :)

    This would be good time to ask. What states offer Non-Res / Res lifetime licenses?

    Colorado tag return

    can you point to more info on this? i was surprised to read this. hope it's not the case? i get it that people sometimes need to turn in their tags, but getting points and money back is crazy.

    Colorado tag return

    do you know if this applies to 1st choice only or any Res demand as a whole? so if i apply for PP(1st choice) and some low demand Res unit as 2nd choice, will my 2nd or 3rd or 4th choices count as part of that 65% before allowing NonRes to go over 35%? thnx
