    NM applications

    Drew muzzleloader deer for a unit I like to spend time in (the hunting isn’t very good, I just enjoy the area); kept the streak alive at 13 years with no luck on elk. All red for the rest of my immediate family, oh well, maybe next year for them. Looking forward to spending some time in NM...

    I have a feeling tomorrow morning will be the “Red Dawn” of disappointment for NM applicants. Good luck to all!

    Future hunting trips

    Depending on how NM & CO draws go this year I’m hoping: 2027 - WY elk 2028 - AZ elk 2029 - WY deer Sometime after 2030 - Alaskan Moose Sometime after that - Africa Then spend the next 15 years after that trying to use up all these points that I’m accumulating.

    As I recall it’s usually 3-5 business days. It does help take the edge off the disappointment.

    SNOW SUCKS!

    You yankees and your snow…I was in Big Bend NP last week and it was 111 in Boquillas Canyon on Thursday afternoon, Rio Grande was bath water warm. Don’t know if that’s better than snow or not…

    One guys rant

    You can put me in the “these are the good old days” camp. Read your history; most of human existence has been marked by tragedy, war, disease, oppression, (pick your shit situation), etc. I don’t think life has ever been easy, except perhaps in hindsight. Lying, cheating, stealing, murder...

    Car Insurance - (For 16 year-olds)

    I feel your pain, my wife and I have two teenagers on our car insurance, 4 vehicles; the kids and their cars add around $7k/year I believe. Just wait until she goes to college, that’s where the real pain starts!

    Drought for the west

    Heading to Big Bend National Park next week, had hoped to be out there before it got hot but looks like it will be in the 90’s. “Exceptional” D4 drought in the Big Bend country and in deep South Texas. Way down south my wildlife water stations are going through almost 2000 gallons a week...

    NM applications

    I enjoy them just as much for getting to access State Land and see some neat country as I do the chance at getting a deer. There’s a few areas in NM that I really enjoy spending time and I just want a tag to have an excuse to wander around for a few days. That said…I would really like to get...

    NM applications

    Twelfth year applying for an elk tag, hopefully this is my year! Feeling pretty good about deer tags in some “undesirable” units with muzzleloader tags, I have drawn a few of them and had a great time, even if it is mediocre hunting.

    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    I’ve got a few trigger techs and a couple Timneys, and aftermarket springs in some Tikkas. I prefer hunting triggers to be around 1 1/2 - 2 lbs.

    US and Israel attack Iran

    It’s a 50 year old turd sandwich no matter which way you slice it, I think that’s a given that just about everyone agrees on. Can’t do anything about the past, but the new Iranian leadership won’t be any more extreme at the end of this than the previous bunch of thugs/terrorists that were hell...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    For all the wise internet sages that think this action in Iran is doomed to failure/terrible idea/start of WW3; what would you have done instead? Ignore Itan entirely? Doubled down on sanctions and try to bankrupt them (unsuccessfully) for another 50 years? Wait for them to have another...
