    Yes. Great idea. That bucket of mountain house is $104. Also, I'll check out the Sitka stuff.

    $100 in gift cards at Cabelas

    I haven't spent much time in a Cabelas but I recently got $100 worth of gift cards. They feel kind of like the home depot of sporting goods, selling mostly their own sub-par brands. Anyone have go-to things they get there for backpack hunting? Or should I just put the $100 as a down payment on a...

    New Mexico Unit 51 or 52

    Lot's of love for #52 from fellow hunters. I'm actually heading into 52 to scout this coming weekend. Planning on hitting road #87 and hiking into the basin area. Scouting for elk and to see if my little hatchback can handle the road. Super pumped just to get out there.

    NM Big Game deadline fast approaching!

    I was super tempted to re-apply there. It was my first time hunting big game and I went solo - so in all honesty, I have no way of gauging the size of the 2 bulls I saw. I think the main reason for going for other units is simply for the adventure and the chance to explore new areas. Maybe...

    BHA membership push!

    There's currently a push going on for more BHA members! If you're a part of this forum but aren't a member it's definitely worth a look. It's such a great group of people fighting for exactly what we're in here chatting about. Public lands, better access, more adventures! Link here

    NM Big Game deadline fast approaching!

    Preaching to the choir here but don't wait till the last minute to get your big game applications in by March 21st. I still feel like a rookie as it's only my second year hunting big game. I put in for Elk, Antelope and Deer. Last year I only put in for cow elk and came up empty handed in 6C...

    Scouting Unit 6C tomorrow

    Scouting Unit 6C tomorrow AM for elk. Where should I scout? I hit up the area just east of the Caldera and south of the ski area a few weeks back. Thinking just north of Caldera higher up in elevation. -Hans

    Unit 6C Pueblo question

    Does anyone know if there are different rules within the Santa Clara Pueblo in Unit 6C in NM? There's a nice swath of road-less area I'm interested in scouting and the Pueblo covers most of it.

    Do family friendly off road vehicles exist?

    I just moved to NM with my wife and 2 young boys. We love our little Kia hatchback but I don't think it's going to cut it once I start tooling around the mountains this summer. The problem is that we are a 1 car family and have no desire to add a second car payment. Anyone else have a vehicle...

    NM Quick draw!
