    NM sheep, oryx and ibex

    Just got this in an email from NMGF. Not cool to change the game on everyone for this draw, after everyone had already committed... Court ruling gives New Mexico resident hunters better odds in drawings for bighorn sheep, oryx and ibex ALBUQUERQUE – New Mexico resident hunters scored a big...

    San Juan River Outfitters

    Any one have any experience with this outfit? I'm really considering a drop camp hunt, just to get the better odds. Since NM likes non residents with outfitters much more than they do without, my odds about double, just by getting into the guided pool. I spent about an hour on the phone with...

    Shed hunt

    Took a walk behind the house on Saturday, to look for some sheds.. I saw this one from about 50 yards away or so, across the creek, so I stopped, got my camera ready, and waited to see how it would unfold with the dog. About 30 seconds after I saw it, she ran by the area and ran past the shed...

    New Mexico 'Guided' definition

    In looking at the New Mexico hunting rules and info, you can apply in the guided pool, provided you have a signed contract with a guide, and spend at least two days in the field with said guide.... So, with most guided or drop camp hunts lasting 5 or 6 days, and the season lasting slightly...

    Grease

    We've been working the geese over the last week or so, right outside of town. I've almost forgotten how nice it was to wake up at 6:30, drive 10 minutes, and be at the spot.. We've mostly been hunting a bean field that's cropped closer than my front yard, so I haven't been able to use my dog...

    Wyoming sheep and moose.. Is it possible?

    So, I'm sitting here, trying to avoid doing any real work, and was looking at possibly considering starting to build points in Wyoming for a future moose or sheep hunt. At 31 years old, and with 0 points, it would most likely be impossible to draw a high demand unit in my lifetime, but is it...

    If your dog cuts her ear...

    It will bleed... Profusely. Once you get the bleeding to stop, she will stand up and shake, breaking open the wound, and flinging blood all over your wife's kitchen. When you reapply pressure for 30 more minutes and stop the bleeding, she will shake again, breaking the clot again, this time in a...

    Dinner

    Every year, when I head out west, the wife take a trip somewhere tropical with her mother. This year, her trip started righ after I got back, forcing me to fend for myself. Tonight, I had to eat these duck kabobs. They were terrible

    Teal

    Took the pooch out for her first official duck hunt this weekend, and got into a good bunch of birds this morning, killing limits in about 25 minutes or so. The dog is really starting to improve, as she figures out its much easier to find the birds if she takes the time to watch them get shot...

    Truckload sale

    I know it doesn't fit with the normal western hunting theme, but a local sporting goods store here in Missouri, Rogers Sporting Goods, does an annual truckload sale. Their prices are pretty tough to beat on waterfowl gear and shotgun ammo.. I'm not sure about shipping costs, but I know quite a...

    Anyone else?

    Anyone else spending an unhealthy amount of time staring longingly at your hunt area on Google Earth? I'm pretty sure my area is burned into my retinas.... And my computer monitor. Come on September!

    Vortex razor vs talon

    I'm in the market for a new set of 10x binos, and was out looking at the vortex as well as the swaros, zeiss and cabelas brand. I refuse to pay the price of the swaros, and was really enamored with the vortex, especially the warrantee. I've read all of the threads on here regarding all of...

    Muzzleloader sights

    I'm new to the muzzleloader game, having owned one for only about 6 months. I'm shooting a CVA Wolf with some piece of crap scope. The scope was pretty much a throw in with the gun. I'm getting rid of the scope, and will be putting open sights on the gun, as several states require it, and I...

    The wife and I are headed to Breckenridge next Sunday, for a week of skiing and general relaxing.. It's been several years since I last went skiing, and my dad took care of lift tickets, ski rental and all that stuff.. Can anyone offer up their best ski rental places? Or their best spots to...
