    New Mexico issues with hunters truck break-ins ?

    Last couple years there have been posts regarding NR hunters having there trucks broken into or even stolen. Seems the posts referred mostly to the Albuquerque & Santa Fe areas.

    PA ELK CAM

    For guys waiting for their hunt get here, to pass the time, Google PA ELK CAM. Tonight's show was awesome. 7-8 bulls and probably 20 cows. Bulls fighting, screaming, chuckling. The grand finale was either an 8X8 or 9 stud, screaming his ass off and chasing bulls off and checking cows. His grand...

    Gila Elk question

    Guys, I have a muzzy tag in the Gila in several weeks. My outfitter says we should probably hear a few bulls sounding off in the mornings. The hunt is Oct 12-16th. I'm finding that hard to believe. I'm just guessing that's the Outfitter sales pitch to keep your hopes up...

    New Mexico Unit 23 Muzzleloader

    Lucky enough to draw a New Mexico Unit 23 muzzleloader tag in early October. I know its not a 16, but the northern part of the unit is just below 15. On the east border is both 16A & 16D. The western border is Arizona Unit 27 which I know takes allot of NR points to draw. My question is not only...

    Unit 23 New Mexico 1st Muzzy Elk Tag, PM's only

    Guys, I drew the October 12 New Mexico Unit 23 muzzy tag. Interested in PM's of guys that have been in this unit. I know the northern part is the place to be, but they also had a rather large fire just south of this area in 2018. I'm sure that will be the magnet. Just looking for terrain and...

As an eastern hunter, there is sometimes a secondary rut for deer that were not bred during the first estrus go round. Being from PA where our deer heard approaches a million, I have seen multiple...

If you feel the guide did his best or maybe fell short of your expectations. Whether successful or not. Would that also factor in. I'm sure allot of these guys depend on the...

    Interesting discussion with a friend about Tire Chains

    Had a discussion with a friend of mine regarding his use of tire chains last fall. He was in Colorado for a 4th season Deer hunt when his group (2 4X4 trucks) ran into some bad weather. Only one guy had a set of 4 chains and they decided to put a set on each truck. The oddity was each guy put...

    Altitude question for fellow flat landers that have headed west

    This question is for fellow NR that head west to hunt. What percentage do you or your partners ever experience any type of altitude sickness. A recent Gohunt article says that the norm is 25% of hunters from low elevations will have issues. I'm curious if that is in fact true? The article even...

    Processing question around the Gunnisson Area

    Question, if I happen to get an Elk on the ground, my plan would be just to debone to get it in my coolers. I'm traveling between two consecutive hunts and may have to drop it off at a processor to get it off the bone and wrapped quickly. My question is, if I just have a processor get it off the...
