    Gila Mule Deer Help

    Good luck on the hunt! The Gila is an amazing place.

    Beef & Pork Fat

    The grocery store near us sells pork trim in packages with the rest of the pork meat. If they don't have any out, I've been able to get it from the butcher as well. I'll cut in 10% for standard burger. For sausage, I'll usually up the fat % quite a bit. I also buy pork butt when it's on sale and...

    NM mule deer unit 36

    Resurrecting an old thread, but want to see if people have more advice for finding deer in Unit 36. I hunted out there a few years ago and saw lots of does in Nogal area and a few up in the White Mountain wilderness. Curious about other parts of the unit like out by the airport or the northeast...

    Gila Mule Deer Help

    Had an elk hunt in the wilderness, 16B, last year. I saw this nice looking buck and found a matching pair of sheds close by that I'm nearly certain belonged to this buck the previous season. He inspired me to put in for archery in 16, but no luck drawing deer this year.

    2021 Antelope Hunting Success Stories

    The wife got this nice buck a couple weeks ago. I was planning to make some jalapeño summer sausage with the grind meat, but the green chile bratwurst sounds pretty great (and my green chile plants have done well this year).

    Never dreamed this would be something I would ever do!

    Good luck! I hunted 12 for deer a few years back. There weren't a lot of deer, but there were a good amount of elk. One evening, my buddy was sitting on the public side of a fence around private land. There was a good size water hole on the private land about 20 yards from the fence and my buddy...

    New Mexico unit 12

    My wife has an elk hunt out in unit 12. I think it's 4th rifle. I'm expecting it to be a pretty tough hunt, but I'm hopeful we can find one to chase around.

    Would you take a game warden’s advice on where to hunt?

    I've found that if you've already done your homework and are asking their opinion on spots you're thinking about hunting, they start to provide more info. And the longer you talk, the more details seem to spill out. We had a deer hunt a couple years ago and I called the GW a few weeks prior and...

    Been a lurker for a good while, but figure it's time to start participating. My wife and I are AOHs and are still newbs compared to a lot of folks. My wife tagged a nice antelope buck a few days ago in SE NM. Here's a pic of the off-range bull oryx I was lucky enough to tag a couple years ago.

    New Mexico unit 12

    If you're hunting BLM, state, or forest land in NM, you'll come across quite a few gates that are closed but not locked. You can open them and drive on through, closing them behind you. As long as you leave it like you found it, you're good to go. Just make sure you aren't crossing into...
