I'm in with 7 points I'm kinda hoping I don't draw since I already drew a New Mexico elk tag and should draw a Colorado deer tag. I won't turn down tags but my wife might kill me.
I have made some phone calls to guides trying to get a feel for who I would want to go with if I go that route. If I do go guided I don't want to feel like they are doing all the hunting and I'm just walking around like a puppet and there for killing.
I get more enjoyment from the memories me...
Congrats on the tag I'll be there beggining of September. No wolf hunting in New Mexico the sub species of wolves they have are Mexican wolves and are endangered.
I agree this is how I felt before I started talking to other people about the hunt. I am fine with going home empty handed its the memories that make the trip and I think it would be more fun with just me and my brother.
16a is the unit
I was thinking of this also and that it would be a way to avoid getting a guide. If I could make friends with someone familiar with the area that might even want to tag along for the hunt would be a benefit.
Thanks for the replies!
I thought about drop camp or having an outfitter doing some scouting for me but the one outfitter told me that they could provide services like that but that most places would put the higher paying full guided clients in better spots. I don't totally agree with it but...
I never thought I would consider going on a guided hunt until last week when I drew a archery elk tag for the Gila National Forest. Given the circumstance that this might be one of the best tags I ever draw I want to make the most of it.
I have been pretty successful hunting out west diy but I...
I would look into the black hills in north east Wyoming. There is a good of amount of land to hunt with Black Hills national forest and scattered parcels of state and blm. I have never turkey hunted it but seen alot of them while deer hunting there.
Congrats on drawing a tag that should be a fun hunt! I just got into muzzleloaders 2 years ago when I drew my 1st elk tag. I would recommend a finding a bullet that your gun likes to shoot and practice with that and not be to worried about needing to shoot long range. Just take your time to get...
Do you think people will want to use that many points for a hunt that is crowded with otc elk hunters? I've been doing some research and it looks like a quite a few units that only took 1 or 2 points for 3rd season that took 7+ for 4th. Seems like a huge jump in points for a hunt that has later...
Being a crop farmer and cattle feeder i have a different look at this then most people on here. I eat beef 6 days a week and am scheduled to work 7 days a week no holidays no sick pay no overtime no benefits. I'm not complaining I enjoy it even on the 30 below mornings. I do think it's quite...
