I agree- and I believe there are better ways to grow the herd AND incentivize private landowners to be stewards of the resource than what New Mexico is doing. If the state wanted to give tags to landowners on a 1:1 basis, for how many random-publicly drawn average Joe hunters were successful on...
Yeah, F this kid. She should have had to have paid top dollar to make a lifetime memory with her dad.

I've got the single port anchor brake on the end. It's probably still as quiet as my Dominus, which is a standard closed end cap. I can't say recoil is much less, either. I just haven't tried swapping it for anything else at this point Taping the muzzle is probably the only factor that will...
I don't think it amount to nothing, just that it's likely less than if that same tag was drawn. I do appreciate you actually pulling the numbers to give it context. Based on your math, It would seem a couple people applying for that same tag and paying even the resident fees is equal to, or...
I'd endorse the Scythe, but it's the only one of the three you listed that I've shot. I also really like the DBAC Dominus, but would rank the Sycthe slightly higher. I don't think you can honestly go wrong. I'm looking at getting a Rex Silentium for a 300 blackout shorty. For my purposes, the...
I don't understand how the state comes out ahead here- they give the tag for a public resource to an individual, who then sells it and makes the money on it. At least when a public tag is sold (or applied for) in every other state, the state, and hence the residents of that state, benefit...
As a resident that has an elk tag every year, for the grand total of $20 and no points needed, I'm here to tell you that you could have it better.
I'd guess the Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming hunters would all agree.
For the non-residents of the world, buying a tag for $$$ instead of drawing...
Says the guy from Wisconsin, in direct contradiction to the OP (New Mexico Resident) and the in response to another New Mexico resident.
Privatized wildlife benefit the few. Ask Europe. Are there benefits? As you and others have pointed out, perhaps a few. But the benefits echo the same...
Thanks for all of your work on this. How we manage our Mule Deer in Montana has been long over due for a review. I hope people are able to see the benefits to your proposal and not oppose it simply for the sake of "it's how we've always done it". I would hope this proposal, as well as meaningful...
Incredible write up so far, complimented by photos that come awfully close to showing the spectacular beauty of that part of the world. I'm with @Hunting Wife - I leave HT for a few weeks and happen to come back as you're recapping such a special experience. It's these stories and the people who...
This. Even with in-ear foamies, you're getting 29-31db reduction at best, muffs are worse than this, so think of it as having foamies in every time you shoot, except without having to talk extra loud to communicate with each other. The reduction of muzzle blast and perceived recoil is just the...
