Yeah I’m not trying to point fingers and I’m not personally a witness to it. However a relative that returned back from a outfitted hunt on a private ranch in New Mexico made some comments about things the guides had discussed while hunting.
This was a large private ranch but within the ranch...
Still doing my own research on this one but curious if anyone else has ran across private land owners darting elk and moving them into a high fence area.
Seems completely unethical but wanted to clarify the legality on it. This particular ranch/property is in New Mexico
Good luck to you guys tomorrow morning. My son and I are up here as well trying to find him one. If anyone gets in a bind or needs some help don’t hesitate to reach out to me on here.
We were in the SE of the state by Hobbs. There was no private around us at all as I try to make a point to stay clear of even the smallest pieces of private while bird hunting It wasnt a big deal and has been the only encounter we have had in the area. Im usually pretty up to date on the...
Not sure if this is the right forum but just wanted to some clarification on my end on how state land is treated compared to blm in New Mexico. I’ve hunted it for years and have never had an issue but have had 2 different encounters this year with residents telling me I’m not allowed to be...
Well that’s a wrap for our Wyoming archery hunt this year. Had a blast hanging out with my Dad and brother for the last week. Cooler is empty but we enjoyed burning calories and seeing some beautiful country. We were fortunate to be in elk everyday and actually had them bugling most days...
Well we finally made it happen. Not the bull he had dreamed up on the drive up but something we are both extremely blessed to have harvested. Hunting was hot and tough in our area. Had a blast though and where we ended up shooting this guy required max effort for his 12 year olds legs. Was...
Great job, any elk with a bow is an awesome accomplishment. But I have to say, my favorite pic is the one with all your great helpers making "food" for the family. Its great for kids to learn early that dinner doesnt only come from the store.
Well the pronghorn wouldn’t cooperate today and we are headed back home with time still left on the clock. We knew we only had 2 days to get it done as Monday is the wife’s bday, and I promised we would be home.
We were back at it before sunrise and were able to spot small herd feeding up over...
Also I lost my dang rangefinder crawling through some scrub, spent way too much time trying to find it, but no luck. So someone needs to post a cheap one in the classified section, lol
Still keeping our 6ft distancing from these skittish goats. Logged just at 13 miles today, but came out empty handed. We had some opportunities but didn’t execute one and got busted out by other hunters on 3 others.
Found a really nice buck right at first light with some does. We had hiked in...
Thanks for all the well wishes, we are tucked into the tipi and headed to bed, going to try and be the early bird in the morning before all the shooting starts. Had a fun evening scouting, saw a couple really nice but younger muley bucks and even a couple cow elk over on a private pasture so...
