    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    I could sure enjoy a year like 2023, but I think I've used all my luck up in NM at this point.

    Newfoundland Moose

    Common from a road based hunt. I had just the opposite experience on a fly in hunt. All of the bulls taken were 40-50 inches and mature animals. Actually saw a giant and couldn't get on him in time. Newfoundland is an outstanding opportunity to chase moose with lots of animals. Some giant black...

    What if NM did it like this?

    No, who wouldn't be happy is landowners. Simply because residents wouldn't pay the outrageous prices they demand for a landowner tag. Honestly this will never happen IMO.

    Barrel break in for Weatherby's

    I saw a dramatic increase in accuracy on mine during breakin. Especially during that first box. I would say yes it helps. Can't hurt can it?

    Hornady 7 PRC a Lie?

    Which is the reason I stick with tried and true calibers that work. I have a feeling 20 years from now there will be a lot of guys stuck with calibers that must be reloaded because ammo will be non existent. Manufacturers are trying their best to have the latest and greatest new caliber out...

    Hey, draw odds dorks…

    Hey I play with all these numbers but, on super low odd tags at the end of the day I apply for where I want to hunt usually. I mean .5% to 2% odds is there really any reason besides nerding out to really care?😂😂 JK But that's how I've began to apply for sheep and goat which I only apply for in...

    Be honest about your Wyoming elk app!

    Or file a FOIA request I'd think.

    Should 17 year old apply for big three?

    This I can get 100% onboard with. But two questions. 1. How often have you seen systems change to the better for nonresident big three type tags lately? 2. How often have you seen tag number increase instead of decrease for nonresident applicants? Or residents for that matter. Joining these...

    Airport Executive Raided and Killed By Feds

    I'm not sure I agree. Most likely the guy was packing CCW is just a guess. Would it have been better to have this occurred in a public airport while he was on the premise? The best scenario may have been to/from work but again the element of surprise is taken away, and that operation would open...

    2023 Montana Bighorn Sheep Tag/Hunt...

    Simply awesome and thank you for sharing a story 99% of us will never get the experience of. Beautiful ram and awesome country.

    Should 17 year old apply for big three?

    Yes and realistically probably worse. It's a diminishing return as someone already said. Tag numbers continue to drop and cost continue to go up. I had big dreams as well 30 years ago. Still no end in sight at 50. Think long and hard before you jump into Western hunting at this point. It's a...
