I love this time of year

Big Fin,

You said you put in points for you son as soon as he was old enough, are most states 12 years old till you can buy general license and purchase points. My oldest is only 6 but I like the idea of banking up points from the start so they can let me tag along on some hard to draw hunts even though I may never draw them.

Thanks

Each state is different. Some are age 10, some are 12. Utah was previously 14, but now 12. Some states don't have an age restriction.

Good luck.
 
for anyone considering a (non trophy) Ibex hunt in NM I just got this email:
LAS CRUCES – The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish will offer hunting licenses for female or immature male ibex beginning Jan. 9, 2013. The hunt dates will be Feb. 21 through March 31. All hunting will end when the harvest limit of 125 is reached.

Licenses will be available through the department online system and over the counter at department offices beginning Jan. 9. Any person who did not hold an ibex hunting license for the 2012-13 season is eligible to purchase one of these licenses. The cost of the license is $111 for residents and $1,630 for nonresidents.

This hunt is necessary because the ibex population is beyond the carrying capacity of the habitat. The bag limit will be two female or immature male ibex. Any hunter who harvests two ibex and has them verified by a conservation officer or at a Game and Fish Office, will be entered into a drawing for an either-sex ibex rifle hunt during the spring of 2014. All hunters must verify their harvests within five days.

All hunters must have a customer identification number to purchase these licenses. For information, please visit the department website at www.wildlife.state.nm.us or contact Kevin Rodden at the department’s Las Cruces office at (575) 532-2100.
 
If you saw the masses of maps, data, research, etc. spread out on the floor of the Randy room, you would shake your head.

It's true it looks like one of those Strategy Rooms at the Pentagon in the movies. Maps strewn everywhere. Magazines marked up and dog eared. Multiple computers with either state info or some sort of google earth thing. Surprised I didn't get a retinal scan for clearance of entry.
