Offrange NM Oryx Hunt 2025
Great write up! congrats. It's crazy how they can be hidden so well. When my daughter got hers, we had got about 140yds of them bedded. Like four stood up and she shot, after the shot, we look up and there was five running off, luckily hers was on the ground, there must have been a couple...- CMF

Round In The Chamber
I'd have to say it depends. If I'm expecting game around the next corner or over the next hill, certainly. If I can see far ahead, game is scarce, terrain is rough, maybe not. If my kids or wife along, probably not. If I'm alone, more likely I am than not. On fresh oryx tracks a couple... -
Go Hunt Predictive Odds
This is the first year that predictive odds are out. Prior, you would look at the "draw trends" from previous years and make assumptions from that. Some years are easier to predict, but looking at CO, some units I watch, the creep jumped a good bit more in 24 than in previous years. Which...- CMF

AZ is starting to hit cards for the draw.

Go Hunt Predictive Odds
Haven't dug into it yet, but it wasn't hard to look at the draw trends and get a good idea of what was going to happen. I think some people just don't realize how it all works and assumed 100% last year means 100% this year.- CMF

US Forest Service reduced funding for 2025 implications
I wouldn't be sad if they closed some roads and made more roadless area here in MS. They could save some money by closing some of the offices. I've been in a few(around the country) to get firewood permits and it doesn't seem like much going on. It's cool to see some taxidermy and local...- CMF

Colorado Question
It wouldn't be hard to explain if they had small game tips. And I doubt there is any requirement for specific broadhead to shoot grouse. I almost packed mine along on my sons muzzy hunt to shoot grouse, but decided to focus on elk and not mess with the grouse(until the last day when I got one... -
Early Archery New Mexico unit 36 tactics
There are like 6 or 7 NR tags on this hunt. Their odds are lower because if their name is pulled and there are only two tags left they strike out. They won't over-allocate tags. It's still possible, just less likely to draw. -

New Mexico Youth Elk Draw
None for Nonresident to my knowledge... I do wish they would allocate some cow-only tags for nr youth just for some more opportunity, most nr's are bull hunting on an es tag anyway.- CMF
