    NM/CO Population Study

    Give this wildlife population study for the Chama and San Juan River basins a read if you have some time to burn or are considering hunting in the region. In short, declining populations compounded by high harvest rates for both mule deer and elk. Interesting data in the full-length study if you...

    Utah = 1,000+ Poaching Cases A Year

    Interesting short read from Utah. Unthinkable that Utah is seeing 1,000+ poaching cases a year. Just think of how many reduced tag and hunting opportunities that translates into. Makes me wonder what the numbers are for other states...

    New Mexico Bulls

    Happy New Year, Amigos. Here are a couple of photos from my recent elk hunt in New Mexico with my father. For the first time in many years none of my hunting brothers (Bmack or Casey) were available to join me on a hunt. Not only did that mean that I had to corral my old man without any help in...

    CO GMU 241/441 Antelope Buck

    Here are a few shots from this past weekend’s pronghorn hunt. I last hunted this region in 2012 and was fortunate to see a pile of animals and shoot a beautiful 14” goat on opening morning. I returned this year only to find out that the antelope population had seen a severe drop in numbers...

    CO GMU 15 Report

    I grew up on a small ranch in this unit, killing my share of elk and deer on its public and private lands. Had the opportunity to burn a couple of preference points and decided that this would be the year to return to some of my favorite public land honey holes with a muzzleloader tag in hand...

    "Lefty"

    So I just watched the new episode of Fresh Tracks and couldn't help but notice Randy's encounter with his one antlered bull elk buddy. I hunt relatively close to where Randy chases bulls in New Mexico and at first glance thought Randy was chasing the same one-horned bull that has eluded my...

    NM Game Commissioner Busted

    I'm sure many of you have been following this. If not, here is a link to an article that provides the best details I've yet to read. This does not bode well for New Mexico's sportsmen and women, to say the least. I've read the criminal complaints as well, though they provide less detail than...

    SCI Convention???

    Curious to see if any other hunt talkers will be headed to Vegas for this week's big shindig? I know it's not the most likely gathering place for many of us, but I can think of a lot worse business trips to go on. If you are planning on heading down just let me know as I'm always game to talk...

    Moving to Denver

    After spending the past 9 years in New Mexico studying, practicing, and hunting my heart out, I have accepted my dream job and am returning to my home state of Colorado in 2 weeks. I'll miss New Mexico and year-round big game hunting, but am glad to return to Colorado. I love hunting big game...

    Routt County Pronghorn

    Headed back home to Routt County, Colorado for my second antelope hunt of the season. This was the first Colorado goat tag I've drawn and I was pretty excited to head home and hunt the high sage country with a couple of childhood friends. I've already had a good season on New Mexico's...

    Thoughts on Howa/Hogue GameKing Combo?

    I'm a bowhunter with a 4 month old son on a budget who just sold a pile of sheds and is looking to buy an affordable and flat shooting rifle. I'm thinking hard about pulling the proverbial trigger on one of these Gameking combos in 7mm Rem. mag. and wanted to see if anyone would be willing to...

    New Guy

    Howdy guys, New to this forum but I know many of you from the field and/or the gong show that is MM. After meeting the OYA crew this week in Vegas I decided that it was high time I join up. Anyway, I'm a Gila junkie and chase just about anything, be it with a rod, bow, muzzy, shotgun or...
