I'm going to get this out of the way up front. I know absolutely nothing about bear hunting. Friend put me in with him for a New Mexico rifle hunt and we got drawn. I bought lottery tickets and won $4.00. We'll be hunting mid-august. The rifle I'll be taking is a 308 Browning BLR shooting...

aboss, Region D Unit 70 Found him in a header on a steep slope and shot him in his bed at about 70 yards. Pretty cool hunt.

Wyoming Mule Deer

I've been drawn to go ML hunting in New Mexico. Haven't shot in awhile. I used to shoot round balls but was looking at the Maxi-Hunter. I'll be hunting deer and would appreciate any advice you might have. To have a starting point, I'm looking at shooting Hodgdon Thriple 7 ffg powder, #11...

Never hunted this unit. Had some friends tell me to put in and to my surprise I drew. Any suggestions on where I should start researching? The only info I found in a limited search was to stay by the river on the west side of the unit.

Does anyone have any info on this unit? A friend and I were looking into a hunt (1st or 2nd rifle) in 2017. From what I can gather, it will take us at least 1 PP and maybe 2 to get drawn. From the internet, it appears to be a pretty rough unit.

I have an elk tag for this unit for the middle of November. What should I expect?

Anybody have a suggestion for a packing out service in Unit 62? Called Dark Timber and they said no for now.

What's the weather been like this winter around the Montrose area? They've been really dry the last few years.

I'm needing new scales. What would you guys recommend?

Any news good or bad from unit 62 so far? I'm hearing from some friends (Texas Bowhunters) it was tough hunting.
