Bro-have you been to New Mexico? We have been run by Democrats for 80 years. We have managed to screw up oil and gas, while sitting on one of the largest O&G deposits in the world. Worst State Policy...that's like the only thing we are #1 in. Dead ass last in everything positive.

Mallards, looks like you are using a 16.2% annual return. I don't think I would plan my retirement assuming that high of a static rate of return. I think it is even dangerous to use the historical average S&P rate of return, because 1) there will always be fees lowering your effective yield...

She does have the ABQ International Balloon Fiesta coming up in early October which draws tens of thousands of people from out of state. That has to go on...so she can't be too restrictive on travel/quarantine. None of the rural law enforcement seemed to care last time around anyway. Good...

Dubya-in October of 2020, they could open at 25% capacity for in room dining. Nobody can approach breakeven in a restaurant at 25% capacity. Gov just re-instituted mask requirements effective this Friday for anybody indoors and word is more restrictions are coming. If you're hunting here in...

I hear those Democrat tags are hard to draw.

Buddy's bull from last year. A little excessive on the 550 cord, I know.

I have always wondered why nobody has marketed something like this. I have a printer client. Took him a picture, we messed with the dimensions until it was about right. He printed on some heavy duty material (like you see on youth sports banners). Had him overlap the edges so it left a loop...

Here's who I would go with. http://www.gilatrophyhunts.com/ I don't know the guy personally, but my buddy grew up with him. I don't think there is anybody around that knows Gila elk than these guys. Attached is a picture of a bull one of his guides shot on his own hunt.

Little satellite bull from Gila, 3rd bowhunt last year Here's the herd bull that the satellite was pestering. My buddy shot him same night.

Some other pictures from that cam

Well then how about this picture from a couple weeks earlier at the same tank.

One of my rancher clients in the Gila (NM) sent me this picture from his game camera at one of his drinkers and asked if I knew what it was. There isn't an exotic game ranch anywhere close to his place. Nearest I could come up with is a Persian Ibex (they were released by Game and Fish in NM...

NM Dept of Game and Fish will put its leftover tags on sale 7/11 at 10AM via their website (FYI-plan on their site crashing numerous times). Residents get the first crack at it (by law, NMDGF has to give residents 24 hours before it is opened to nonresidents). Doesn't look there is much in the...
