    Oklahoma Trip

    Haven't been on the forum in a while. I just got back from a month long trip to Oklahoma for some fishing and rifle season. It was a great trip spending time with friends and my Daughters got to join me for Thanksgiving. Got my personal best catfish a whopping 7 pounder. I ran a jug line for a...

    Success

    Well we finally got some fish in the cooler. I didn't grow up fishing with the exception of the occasional outing when we went to visit Grandpa. He always set up the tackle so there wasn't much learning back then. We've been throwing just about everything we can think of in the water with only...

    Jon Boat

    So a couple years ago my daughter and I built a stich and glue canoe over the summer. It was primarily built to ease access for hunting whitetails on public in Oklahoma. We have put it to good use and had some fun with it, but getting up at 3 in the morning to paddle the 2 miles up the creek...

    NM License

    Does anyone know how to buy a fishing license for your kid through the NMDFG website? Do I need to create another account for her? It doesn't allow me the option of purchasing a junior license at all.

    New Glass

    Another big thank you to Schmalts for some quality Leupold glass for my Bergara. The new VX3HD is a definite upgrade from my VX3i that was previously on this rifle. I haven't gotten out to the range yet, but the biggest improvement I noticed right off the bat was the upper magnification ranges...

    They do exist!

    Public land piggies in Oklahoma. First one I've ever gotten. I tried to find a thread from 2 years ago where I was seeing sign but couldn't find pigs. One of you reccomend that I try calling. Came out here for spring break and brought a bluetooth speaker and an app. Paddled up a creek into a...

    1st Mule Deer

    Tagged out in New Mexico. First mule deer. He isn't big hank, but he followed the script exactly. I figured it's been pretty dry the last several months so opening morning I snuck into a water hole I scouted last month. He came in 5 minutes before legal shooting light. Gave me some time to get...

    Since the draw results came out I have been getting fired up about this year's hunt. I drew New Mexico unit 24, rifle tag. November 6-11. Last year was my first mule deer hunt, unit 25 bow in September. I am hoping you all can answer my questions about how they will behaving in November. I...

    New Base Camp

    Well I went ahead and traded my 2wd Ram 1500 for something a little more off road capable. I got lucky and sold my motorcycle before this all started, put me in a good position to get what I wanted in a truck. I will be getting an ARE MX series topper and building a removable sleeping platform...

    Saturday Project

    My dinky safe only has room for Grandpa's rifles and shotguns. I got tired of having all my modern stuff floating around in soft cases under the bed or in the corner. Spent a few hours on Saturday building this out of scraps I had laying around.

    Tripod Alternative

    I recently purchased a Swagger QD42 shooting stick setup. Haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet but I am impressed with the stability in the seated position. The quick detach set up got me thinking about using it for my binos as well. Dug out a small section of picatinny rail I had laying...

    New Toy

    Decided I have lived in Texas too long to not own a lever gun. It's no manbun, but I'm excited to shoot it. Marlin 1895GBL 45/70 Gubmint

    Escape and Evasion

    I had something happen the other day out in the desert and I wanted some input on how you all would have handled it. On opening morning I stumbled across a small group of bucks and this being my first time bow hunting I got all excited and blew the stalk. After they hit the road the day slowed...

    Desert Mule Deer

    Well here I am 3 days and a wake up away from the opener of my first bow season. I am in full on freak out mode right now and could use some of the collected hunt talk wisdom. For the background, I have an archery FAD tag in New Mexico unit 25. This is the area on the Mexican border south and...

    My daughter and I have been working on a stitch and glue canoe project for the last week. It's a fun project we are hoping to get the lions share done before the weekend is over. We start stitching tonight after dinner. This what we have so far:

    Scouting/ Driving Lessons

    Headed out Saturday to start scouting the access situation in NM Unit 25. Used the day as an opportunity for driving lessons and got in a short hike at one of the spots. Found some sign in a bedding area. The thermometer never got over 90 and there was a good breeze, not too bad of a day all...

    Rabbit Foot

    Ok, so I've been reading up on how to train my pup for rabbits. One of the things I see recommended a lot for the initial training is to get a rabbit foot and put it on a lead for him to chase around. The information I can't find is what needs to be done with the foot as far as preparation once...

    New Pup

    Well the wife finally agreed it was time for another puppy! This is Sir Nigel McIntyre, the Duke of Woofington. He came home with us Saturday. I have experience with obedience training for family pets but I haven't ever tried my hand at any sort of hunting dog. We are going to see if I can get...

    Barbary Sheep NM

    Well I got my tag in the mail last week and started my hunt for OTC Barbary Sheep/Audad. I spent my Saturday checking out a few of the canyons above Alamogordo in unit 34. I didn't find any sheep yet, and learned a lot about getting into those areas. I have a 3 day this weekend so I plan to...
