    Spreading myself thin...

    I've been thinking a lot about this, thought as well. I disagree with the "don't leave elk to find elk" thought. Even deer for that matter. There are just to many other factors in play. Time of year, weather conditions, expected weather, hunting pressure, current age class of game, only males...

    Solo hunting anxiety

    Getting a little older, and start to feel the same way about hunting solo. Kinda nervous, where I never have before. Traveling 12+ hours away. Hiking in, setting up camp, going in on roads never been on, etc. Not sure if it was the "ignorance is bliss" or "where there is a will, there is a...

    Hunting Migration?

    Anybody have experience with this part of the OP's post? Or are they bedded for the day. Say for example, finding a remote canyon with signs that animals have been using that migration corridor. And either close range ambushing or glassing from a vantage point. And I know the truest answer is...

    PM sent. Was one of the super lucky random draw. Guys on the Slide were super helpful in getting up to speed on that hunt. Not saying it wouldn't of changed much, but the incite they provided helped boost confidence.

    New Mexico stud BH sheep / ROAL

    Yea I took a really nice ram. One of the 180+ ones floating around. Governor tag holder was in the week before as I was scouting prior to my season opening. He took a 188" if I remember correctly. Have lots of photos of his ram on the hoof and in person when he harvested. Nobody harvested the...

    New Mexico stud BH sheep / ROAL

    With Wheeler, I think they are trying to manage too high of expectations/ hype. I had the early hunt few years back. There were 5-180+ rams, 1-190+, and numerous 10+year old lower scoring rams, that I saw or filmed on 1 area. Jason Mouttet does an amazing podcast with Epic hunt if I remember...

    New Mexico stud BH sheep / ROAL Earlier post- Think I found it on another website as well. Believe it was out of the Pecos. Also thought somewhere it was posted as being ~ 185". Awesome ram for sure.

    Elk Noses

    Was above a little valley, sitting on a rock outcropping looking at the floor. Had a dozen deer below me about 200 yards, a young bull fed out from the side at 3-400 yards. He caught my, wind turned looked at me and and ran until he was out of site.

    Give up on AZ?

    Option for your elk points might be to pull a "premier" cow tag. Be in one of the best units of the state have a good hunt and see some big bulls. Cash out the points for deer and elk in a year or 2, then drop the state. Current idea I am tossing around with my brother on a couple state we...

    Anyone hunt the Mescalero?

    @Mojave Silver city and surround Gila gets its fair share of Texans..... to be fair to the rest of the state of Texas, it was specifically El Paso people. Would come and trash the forest, lakes and camp grounds. They were hated

    Give up on AZ?

    OP- always think about this when application season rolls around. I'm in a handful of states with anywhere between 2-10 points. Realize I will probably only hunt each common species (deer, elk, antelope) once in some of these states as a NR in my life. Hard to decide if $160 for 10 years is...

    The day before the opener

    Sure I'll play the game. Had somewhat of a similar scenario- WY- rifle elk. Found group of bulls on a big 1,000'- 3 mile long semi open face halfway up day before opener. Big face has lots of timbered drainages can't see into. Elk bed in random drainage each day. Recent snowstorm just dumped...
