Folks,
I'm a newbie to the site. Avid bowhunter, married, 6 kids, and can no longer afford the guided hunts. Too many sets of braces. I know I have the skills and most of the gear to get this done on my own.
I bowhunted antelope in WY south of Gillette on my own, just paid a ranch owner 100 bucks to trespass. We decoyed them in that was fun. Bought an elk tag for NM in Unit 51 and arrowed the 1st elk that walked by, a spike. Yeah, laugh, I had never taken an elk with my bow so I was taking one. It took whole day and a half. Hunted elk in NM with a rifle just off the Jicarilla in November. We drove the elk like whitetail hunting in SE Minnesota. Shot a nice 5 X 5 near Largo Canyon. it was mostly a glorified road hunt, not to my liking. Hunted the Adobe Ranch in Unit 16C with Jack Diamond. He's good man.
Pulled a Unit 2B Mule tag about 5 years ago for the 2nd Nov. season. Great hunt, lots of deer, shot a 150's 4 X 4 in the last 5 minutes of the last day of the hunt and seen 1 giant non-typical that was spooked by gas field worker driving his truck down the road a dusk.
Now I find myself with this pretty good tag and was hoping to team up with another fella or two that my have the same tag to share a fire. I've never been in the unit and the 24 hr drive makes it impractical to scout before season. Any help you folks may wish to offer up, I'm all ears. Otherwise I may eat the tag.
Hope to see ya on the trail.
