    Bonito seep

    Should be. All the springs are running hard this year. We've had a ton of rain in the Lincoln. Don't hunt that exact part of 36 (but near enough) and every spring in the area I hunt and have been scouting are running at levels that haven't been seen in years. Last few years would have been a...

    WTS/WTT Big Agnes Shoestring SL 22 Long

    Synthetic Sleeping Bag. Used last two seasons. I went to a lighter, more compact system and looking to get some gear for my wife. It's in great shape. I will try to get pictures up ASAP, but out here my internet can be quite slow so I'm having a bit of trouble with that right now. Text nine20...

    Is applying in New Mexico worthless?

    Also check Craigslist and hunter's domain if you don't want to start making cold calls. Tags are a lot higher right now than they will be in late summer. Premium zones expect 400-500 for a cow and 4k-5k+ for a bull unit wide tag. Non premium zones as low as half that. Like I said though waiting...

    Gila Wilderness Archery

    We've had wet September's lately so good chance you get rain a day or two. If you go in for the beginning of the hunt, finding a nice seepy canyon and hanging a stand or brushing in isn't a bad idea. But be ready to change directions on the fly, it's elk hunting after all. I had a friend who...

    Gila Wilderness Archery

    With first season archery in New Mexico, scouting is key. The bulls won't usually leave where they were at all summer until the middle of the month. Get a ton of boot hours on the ground and run cameras, and you can usually be on bachelor groups within the first few days. They won't be hard to...

    Is applying in New Mexico worthless?

    You get your hunting license (or small game as you call it) refunded if you don't draw along with the elk tag fees. Only thing you have to pay is the application fee if unsuccessful. Around 20 bucks for a nonresident I believe.

    Danner or Irish setter

    I wear Danner Ft. Lewis boots, 12+ hours a day close to 300 days a year. I wear them over tons of different terrain, mountains, desert, you name it. Crazy comfortable and take a ton of abuse. Rub them down a few times with a quality leather conditioner and the break in time is relatively short...

    has anyone hunted 37 late season. NM

    I have hunted 37 three of the last four years. Always first season though. Lots of road hunters to deal with. Will be again first season this year. PM any questions. Don't be expecting a monster, but there are deer. Population is down a bit. This is the buck I tagged last year.

    Is applying in New Mexico worthless?

    It's hard for the average non resident in New Mexico right now. Landowners and outfitters run our game commission and little the average hunter in the state voices, is actually taken in to account. There was a big push in committee at the state legislature earlier this year to increase the...

    Is there a NM backdoor?

    Game and Fish sure is taking a beating down here on social media, and the like, for taking down first the harvest report backdoor and then later the license number backdoor. I was shocked when my buddy figured out the harvest report thing, only too find out a lot of others did as well. Who'd...

    Hello from New Mexico

    I found this forum while I was recently researching some new gear. Lots of great information and some even better stories so far. I'm a back country big game hunter here in New Mexico and my favorite hunt is always whatever I manage to draw that year. I also dabble a bit with coyote's and quail...
