It is almost entirely nonresidents that apply in the outfitter set-aside pool. With the exception of pronghorn there are very few hunt codes where applying in the outfitter pool increases draw odds for a resident. As such a resident that applies in the outfitter pool would almost certainly be...
I recognize those red underlines! I’m glad you pulled this from a post of mine on Facebook and posted it here.
I support this bill.
With our bill trying to eliminate set aside and MT’s bill trying to create a set aside it is like New Mexico was hauling ass up the road trying to catch up to MT...
Hunting closures on PCMS have been a roller coaster. I have (had) an archery deer permit for PCMS valid from 10/1/20 to 11/30 and from 12/12 to 12/31. My brother has (had) the same tag. We planned to hunt the week of thanksgiving during the rut. PCMS posted that it would be closed for hunting...
I have a CZ 550 Safari Classics in my safe that I haven’t used for quite a few years. It’s a great rifle. I bought it for my one and only trip to Africa. Wanna buy it?
I’ve been fortunate to be go on able to help friends (and friends of friends who are now all friends) and family on 10 North American wild sheep hunts. And go on 6 sheep hunts of my own, 2 of which were drawn tags DIY (AZ desert and MT Rocky). Of all the DIY hunts I’ve helped on, KHunter was by...
This is what State Land closed to hunting looks like on the State Land Office interactive map you are using.
This closure is an interesting and scandalous tale. It is state land leased by the Wedding Cake Ranch. The state of New Mexico moved Bighorn sheep to this private and state land ranch...
You can hunt almost all State Trust Land in New Mexico if you can obtain legal access (public road/land or permission to cross private). You can hunt the agricultural lease you posted if you can get public access. You can’t hunt State Trust Land that is under what is called a business lease...
I’m one of the very very lucky less than a dozen nonresidents to draw a MT limited sheep permit this year. What an amazing privilege. 302-20. I am also fortunate to have plenty of time for the hunt. I will be spending many weeks in MT this summer and fall!
As a nonresident of MT I am especially...
This is a very serious issue for Arizona. Public land hunters need to stop the attempt to start a highest bidder permit allocation model in AZ. To date AZ is the beacon of public land hunting in the west. No private land permits and no outfitter set aside. If the SFW types get their foot in the...
I received my Dear John letter from UT. I would paraphrase what it said but I don't think Big Fin allows that type of language on his family friendly forums. You know a state doesn't love you when you don't draw a north of 70% odds general season archery deer permit. I even went on a volunteer...
I'd make a prediction on what the tag it is but someone threw me under the bus the last time I made a prediction about a drawing:)
Congratulations! That's pretty cool. That happened to me on a OIL desert sheep draw in AZ last year. Me or one of my 3 sons. Just maybe it was the first time...
The Hunt Talk enterprise is wholly about public lands and public land hunting. A guy points out some companies that support our public lands and keeping them public and a bunch of people jump all over him. I don't get it...
Any company that has the balls to unequivocally defend public lands...
16d second archery. Second year in a row! My son drew it in 2016 so it will be my third consecutive year spending the later part of Sept chasing bugling bulls in the Gila. So lucky!!
I strongly think the next Rendevous should be in SLC. It's a no-brainer really. I have spent a good amount of time in UT in the field. And when I'm in the field I stop and talk to just about everyone I bump into. For years I used to be dumbfounded by how unaware and unconcerned avid UT...
