Be ok with ending relationships, that goes for women, friends, and jobs. Move away from where you grew up even if it’s just for a few years. There is a fine line between having money and having time. Slow down when adjusting your bow sight, buying stuff, driving and anything that has to do with...
As a resident I think it could be better. In the past 10 years I have had an elk tag in my pocket 7 times. I wouldn’t call that terrible.
What is the hunt talkers thoughts on something like this?
Do the 90/10 split. Keep E-plus and allow land owners to sell bull tags like they always have...
Hopefully this changes. On a side note lots of New Mexicans also need to learn how the draw works. Speaking with a few co-workers who are the population who haven’t drawn an elk tag in 10 years. Their 3rd choice doesn’t break 10% draw odd. ( on 2nd thought, maybe thru just keep doing what they...
I think that’s a good guess! Mid 90s we would go and check the draw results in person instead of waiting for the mail notices. The gentlemen in front of us looked up his results and he had drawn a Big Horn tag. He borrowed the office phone and called his dad to tell him.

Pack your pack with the things you will have on your hunt, if you want to add weight fill up all your water sources. You will know how things fit inside your pack have and have idea of how your loads should be packed. Try and do big hikes with this load through the year. ( not just the week...
I hunted 53 from 2015 to 2023, minus 2018 and 2021 ( kids ) a wind storm in 2022 took out honey holes and lots of trails. My hunting partner and I killed 5 bulls in 53. There are easy to reach places in 53 that one could do solo, but the wilderness areas and the wind damaged areas ( look at...
It’s pretty tough not to get into elk in 16A, just need to reset the thinking that you need to walk really far to find the elk. Hot tip from last year is to turn off the SxS and walk a bit before you bugle. ( Saw that a few times) I killed a bull that was bedded 400m from a road with a few SxS...
