^I agree wholeheartedly with this. I'm new to muzzys, and drew a NM tag for this upcoming season. With a scale and charge tubes, it doesn't take long to measure out the exact charge. There's a guy on fleabay selling 20 charge tubes and case for cheap (no static when loading). I think I spent 30...
Check out post #7 in this thread. Some really good info there about NM. I think you're wise to set expectations on any bull. I drew a Gila archery tag almost 20 years ago, when I was very green, and in the same shoes as you. I was naive, and had visions of killing a monster, when I should have...
I drew a late season AZ bull tag a couple years ago. Killed a nice 6pt on the second to last day. Best advice has already been stated. Find the nastiest canyons that will give you a good vantage point. Get there before first light and glass. They'll come out of the junipers and work their way...
Yeah, hard no. Even going further, States right now fund the bulk of the wildlife management and not just game species. Biologists would be needed per state at the Fed level. It would be an epic cluster.
That's the lede right there. My old man makes the same federal land argument all the time. It's like beating a dead horse. If you really think the Feds should manage wildlife, just ask yourself, what do the Feds actually manage well?
Call the district office. I called the Revere office last week for the officer’s contact information for the unit I drew. Called and he picked right up. You can prolly get a good deal of your questions answered. Break out the map and identify some spots you think might be good and ask about...
Wow. This has all been a lot of great information for me to digest and consider. Thanks, all, for the input. Truly appreciated. I have a lot of work to do.

I was lucky enough to draw a NM muzzy tag for this upcoming season and this is actually my first time ever hunting elk with a muzzleloader. In fact, first time ever hunting with a muzzleloader period. I have a TC Triumph that I purchased for the possibility of drawing a CO muzzy tag as I'm kinda...
15 muzzy here. Hunted there back in '07 during archery with my old man. Was very green then. Should be a much better hunt and, hopefully a better outcome.
