I get the feeling if ranchers grazed every acre of blm it wouldn’t bother people like you because I get the feeling you don’t use it anyway.
Liberals would rather see the BLM land covered in wind turbines instead of the American rancher raising beef for the world on it. I live next to thousands...
One of the reasons IMO that New Mexico elk hunting is so good and in such high demand is the contribution that the private landowners make to the elk herd. Just last year my neighbor put in a $40,000 well and ran poly pipe to two tanks over a mile apiece the elk use everyday. He also replaced...
Hunted elk in New Mexico since I was a kid and in some great units. Your statement is false.
Not everyone is dirt poor and can’t afford a few nice things.
So much private land is open for elk hunting thanks to the Eplus and gives us all a chance to hunt elk every year.
Very great full to...
As a resident I put in for almost every tag there was to put in for. Results came out and I got skunked, all red, no tags. I put a down payment down on a LO tag and will be hunting elk in a great unit this fall. Eplus is a great program.
In todays prices of everything the LO tags IMO are...
It’s guys like him that made the 80’s like no other time.
The beer was colder and the women were hotter and there will never be music like they made back then !! R.I.P. brother.
If you want a tag spend the money and get one. Doesn’t matter where you live everyone has the same option. Great program just the way it is. Silly idea.
Well I guess this is a little better than asking for NMG&F to do away with the eplus program. A good elk LO tag can be as tough to get ahold of as a draw tag. I’m thankful NM has more than just one way to get a tag!
Never understood why they call it Outfitter welfare. It gives the mostly NM resident outfitter income from NM elk and also gives someone a tag to hunt NM elk. All elk units were easy to draw at one time then the internet and the tv shows came along.
People started making a living by promoting...
Aren’t you just paying your tag fee and doing the same thing, killing it or are you going up the mountain and praying for it ? What difference is it if a guy donates $400,000 to kill a ram or a guy pays $700 tag fee to do the same thing? I think a lot of people just resent the successful rich guys.
Tell your game and fish dept you want a landowner tag program like New Mexico has then you can buy a tag if you don’t draw and hunt some of those elk on private land. Do you really care about the grass or is it the antlers ?
Just this year I found a truck parked half way up the private road leading to the house. I thought who would just park there, so I went driving around and found two guys hiking through the trees. I caught up with them and asked what they were doing. Their reply was we’re looking for an elk we...
Tell him you’ll bring a horse over this spring and help him gather a few pastures and drag calves to the fire. If you don’t have a horse tell him you’ll ride one of his. Bring some beer with you and after you’re done branding you can sit around and talk about the day.
I’ve had several rangefinders over the years and after buying a Leica it’s the only one I want. Works great in all weather conditions every time. Ranges out a lot further than I could shoot or it’s right on when bow hunting up close.
