    Less Permit Applications?

    I bet it has some effect on the # of draw applicants, probably will keep some of the more “casual” non residents from applying. I agree with Hilltop that some of the more dedicated hunters might see it as an opportunity and apply for hunts even if they are short a point or two. If it drags out...

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    Haven’t changed much, got most everyone at the office set up to work from home. My kids are out of school for several more weeks...my ten year old has been wanting his own .22 pistol, since he’s out of school he took the lawn mower out (grass is green and growing down here) and when I got...

    New Mexico applicant info

    might bring a whole new level to the MRS. I could maybe get past the idea that who drew the tag is public info, but why the heck does he get email addresses?

    New Mexico applicant info

    http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/courts-order-department-to-release-customer-names-email-addresses-today/ this doesn’t seem right. I guess this guy wanted to find out where everyone is hunting?

    6% non-resident draw tags

    I would guess there will be significantly fewer applicants...but one thing we’ve learned this week is people are crazy and don’t always make rational decisions. Good thing is for New Mexico we’ll know in a month. I know by the time I put in 4 family members (including me) in NM for deer, elk...

    jocularity

    It was bad y'all I just got back from Walmart, and honestly I was very shocked-they had no toilet paper at all. With hesitation, I headed to the customer service counter to ask if they had any. All I got was a firm NO and a look of disgust. Walking back to the restroom with my pants around my...

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    We’ve had a great run in the residential construction industry for almost 10 years, If this thing doesn’t straighten out I’m afraid the run will be over and that is not good news. I wonder how hard it would be to hitch hike back home with a cooler full of elk meat and a set of horns?

    This whole situation is dumber by the hour. But, I do predict for sure this mess is going to throw the western big game draws (at least the ones that still have applications open) way off. I know...that’s probably a petty thing to think about right now. I might just apply for a 4th season...

    Plenty of TP down here where I’m at in San Antonio, but my wife and kids have been in Gunnison/CB, Colorado all week and said there is no TP left up there, people were having to go to Montrose to find any. Down here if you didn’t watch the news you’d never know anything was going on. We...

    I wonder if this whole situation will effect draw odds, the market crashing during application season could have some folks a little hesitant to tie up a few grand on applications.

    Weirdest, oddest, creepiest thing you've seen, or heard.

    A couple of years ago a buddy and I were Mule deer hunting in Colorado, laying prone and I was trying to decide wether or not to shoot a buck we were watching. We were at 11,800’ on a steep but grassy ridge watching the other side of the valley. All of a sudden there was a loud thump and...

    It will just be a side note in history, remembered only for the worldwide panic it caused than the death toll. (Full disclosure: I am neither a Doctor nor a fortune teller). I am 0% concerned about it at the current time.

    Why no standardized .24-06 and .26-06 ??

    Lots of guys shooting 6.5-280AI’s, a 280 Remington is just a 7mm-06...so the 6.5-280 pretty much is a 26-06. 6.5-06 ASquare or something was one from a while back. Just about everything has been necked upOr down to 6.5 (.264), the field is pretty saturated. 26-06 does sound cool though
