New guy looking for some NM elk units for 2021
A few things: 1. If you've read a lot about 52, so have many others. So, whatever the odds were last year, they'll be lower this year. 2. I wouldn't buy GoHunt just for NM draw odds. I don't think they're any better than comparing supply and demand for the sake of determining which unit/hunt... -

Make a knife
Another option for a knife blank is USA Knife Makers. They have blanks in a variety of sizes/styles that are already heat treated and sharpened. They also sell everything else you would need to put it together using the antler you have.- NMGuy

Rookies Hunting NM
If you're wanting to hunt with a rifle, you'll want a backup plan for next year because resident draw odds for antelope aren't great. Best case scenario (per GoHunt) is about 29% for a third hunt (meaning that unit has been hunted the previous two weeks). Most units in the state are 10% or less... -

Weird Stuff on Google Earth
Found what appeared to be dirt/rock berms in the shape of a swastika out in the middle of nowhere on public land.- NMGuy

I can't stand it!
I always get excited and have trouble sleeping before a hunt, but this year was different for me. I was more excited about my deer hunt than I have been in many years. I don't know if it was from all the time spent at home due to Covid or if it was the new outlook I was approaching the hunt...- NMGuy

Breech Plug Lubrication
I use CVA Anti Seize Stick. It's basically what Dougfirtree described, but made by CVA instead of TC. Each time I clean the gun, I use the breech plug cleaning tool to get the threads really clean. After that, I apply some grease and screw the plug in/out a few times to spread the grease...- NMGuy

Butt ugly knife
Looking good Devon! I got to use one of my handmade knives on the deer I shot earlier this week. Making a knife is one thing, but getting to use it gave me a great sense of pride. I started with a 1x30, then got a 4x36 before building my 2x72. I still use the 1x30, but the 4x36 was largely...- NMGuy

How to gain clean weight (for my skinny son).
Step 1: Tell him to get a job because this is going to get expensive Step 2: Google Brian Shaw Step 3: Lift like he lifts and (try to) eat how he eats, which is something like 10,000 calories per day! On a more serious note, all the running is definitely going to work against him. As other...- NMGuy

A Little Redemption (and a good chunk of luck)
Day 3 The weather was supposed to start getting pretty ugly and it was supposed to rain/sleet/snow until around 10:00 so I opted to sleep in. I didn't leave the house until around 8:00, but my hopes of letting the weather pass were quickly shattered as I headed out to freezing sleet with fog... -

A Little Redemption (and a good chunk of luck)
Day 2 I got up early and headed out to another area where I've had success in the past. What a great way to start a day! The first area didn't have any deer, so we moved to spot two. The hunting was really slow until I was driving along and spotted a deer, then two, then three in a small... -

A Little Redemption (and a good chunk of luck)
Well, I got lucky and filled my ML deer tag. Going into this season, I had decided that I wanted an experience and this hunt didn't disappoint. I've had this tag before and have generally had success although I have to admit I've never seen a legal buck I wasn't willing to shoot so I usually... -

How did you learn/resources for processing your own game.
My dad was a butcher, so I learned from him. My mom worked in the meat market as a meat wrapper, so she was familiar with the process as well. Watching the two of them in tandem processing a deer was a thing of beauty. I'll never be anywhere near as good or efficient as dad, but I'm very...- NMGuy

Nebraska Poaching
Wow, that's tough to read. I'm glad to see some significant punishment handed out to some of the folks involved, and I hope there's more coming. I have to wonder how much impact it will have to out-of-state jackasses to have their hunting privileges revoked in Nebraska. That still leaves 49...- NMGuy
