    Do you hunt or plan on hunting out of state?

    I know it seems slanted in favor of residents if you’re coming from an eastern state with virtually unlimited whitetail opportunities but residents of many western states don’t get to hunt every year. When residents are waiting several years to hunt in their own state, of course they’re not...

    3rd Row SUV Experiences

    Some good advice in here from those who’ve been there. My kids are 15 and 13 and my son is now taller than me. We had a minivan as infants/toddlers and it was great for managing car seats and cargo (added bonus no doors to fling into the car parked next to you). We moved to a Dodge Journey that...

    Wilderness Pack Specialties

    I bought my fast growing teenage son a used Kodiak frame last year. For what I paid, it fits the bill and is easy to adjust as he grows. We have not had it under significant loads, so I can’t speak to its comfort there, but it’s not bad for short backpacking trips.

    Ever find cactus needles in meat?

    Barbary sheep/aoudad here in NM have their shanks full of them. We pluck them out while skinning and go over them thoroughly while butchering and have had no ill effect.

    School me on gaming consoles

    We went with used handhelds (game boy and DS) to start. We limited and put conditions on use. The older systems were great as they could purchase used games for under $10, were a low cost way to introduce them to gaming, and they were able to save towards and purchase a switch on their own. At...

    Rokslide 2023 Youth Photo Contest sponsored by Western Edge Gear

    My 13yo with his first deer. He passed a lot of deer during the hunt but wanted to punch his tag on the last day. 100 yds with his 308, but made more special dressing the deer with a knife he made over the summer.

    Colorado archery weather

    As stated, it’s highly variable from year to year. There’s a lot of information here on layering. Think about the type of system you ultimately want, then piece it together. You have time to piece it together on a budget. A good system works for whitetail too.

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

    I primarily bow hunt, but on occasion get a rifle tag and use an A-bolt in 300WSM topped with a Vx3. Kids use a Ruger American in 6.5CM.

    Are NM landowner tags weapon/season specific?

    It depends on whether it’s Ranch Only or Unit wide. I was gifted a RO cow tag and could choose any 5 consecutive day period between Oct 1 and Dec 31. I bought my son a UW cow tag this year, and it runs with the established season for the unit.
