Got my 2024 coues. I am very pleased with it.

Unlike my sons tag 2 weeks ago which was in the 100’s, I was so looking forward to this weeks much cooler temps. Even though he filled his tag first thing Friday morning I knew there were some bucks in the area from past scouting trips and I knew it was going to be a great hunt. I get out there just before sun up and by god it was really cold….I start glassing thinking these bucks are just gonna be out and about sunning themselves. Not the case, I find 1 doe at 7:30 and two more around 8ish. My eyes are bleeding glassing these hills and canyons and nothing is turning up. Around 10:00 I start to nod off, I crawl to the top of the hill I’m glassing from and look at the back of my eyelids….. nice little cat nap. I wake up around 11 totally refreshed and ready to glass the again. From 11-12:15, temperature is absolutely beautiful can’t believe nothing is moving. As I’m slowly scanning an opening underneath a mesquite tree I see something that catches my eye. The antlers move…game on. I focus on them and range the opening at 463 yds. For the next 1/2 hr I hem and haw because all I see is a portion of the antlers which is a 2x. I know there are bigger ones in here, but thinking why not…meat buck, but it’s 463 yds away and the terrain is absolutely awful for a drag out. Well I convince myself this is the one, get set up and squeeze one off. I don’t see the buck, so I get behind my 15’s and see movement further inside the mesquite tree. The buck is still standing. I can’t tell if it’s hit so I get on the gun again and get ready for a second shot. I can see the antlers moving a bit so I get an outline of the body and squeeze another round off. I get behind the 15’s and I see a buck laying on the ground. I let out a heck yeah. Due to the distance and terrain, I leave my rifle and pack and bring a deer drag, tag and knife. As pull the deer from out of the mesquite opening I notice a portion of the antler and it’s right ear has some blood on it. I guess the 1st shot actually hit it just high, not enough to spook him though. Got it back to my other gear and started the long haul out, 2.1 miles to the truck, this deer kicked my butt, but well worth it. Dropped it off at WGP!!!

If you get a sheep tag I will donate my time to you.

Ok, my New Mexico solo 2024 mule deer hunt is in the books, link to story coming soon. Now for the 46A, and B hunt. We went scouting and saw a medium sized 3 x 3 the first evening on the Cabeza, and a large bobcat. We really didn't glass a whole lot we were just trying to get familiar with the roads as we didn't have a whole lot of time. I'm sure if we had spent more time glassing we would have found more deer. We do have an area picked out for opening morning.

Who cares

5bs is loaded with elk and dispersed throughout . Use that flatline map and locate water sources near canyons. Get on vantage points looking south into top 1/3 of canyons with good pinyon or pine cover. Use that map to identify topo lines with benches with wider line spacing. Elk will be there. A lot of tags so elk will be moving around the unit a lot. Be patient and an opportunity will present itself. Good luck! 👊

One day till Monday, trying to find motivation. I started back again last week 😪 for the good. After my kids youth hunts I realized I'm a Fat A. Here we go, started at 240lbs, ill try to do weekly updates, Goal 185lb. It's aggressive but let's see how close I can get.

I will cook steak and seafood every night until trophy makes us pack in. And my appreciation will go along ways beyond money.

Yes there guides, but they took me as family. Kinda like if I get the 40b tag for sheep were going, does that me you and wish2hunt are guides?? I just love the good people who love the woods

Ask Randy, ask Remi Warren, the draw is not fair and states are not fair. It all comes down to money, if one of us gets the hunt all we make is memories, if one of these idiots get drawn they make a tv episode for millions, which equates to millions of applications. Wish we could somehow ruin these celebrities hunts. welcome to America ……

It 100% was planned that way. Marc Victor (owner of Attorneys On Retainer) is a Marine Vet - this date was his pick.

Hey sir, I know that unit and hunt very well. Text me and I will give you some info Mark 989-615-8953

Sorry for the sideways pic…..went with a Savage for my 6 yo daughter. Thing shoots lights out, I can put 5 shots into a Raquet ball at 100 yards.

I’ve got a set of Kowa 774 big eyes I might sell

I’m not much of a storyteller. but we glassed up this guy in the morning at about 600yards, after a few minutes I decided he would do just fine and the rest is history. Shot him with a 6.5prc built by Keith at Phoenix custom rifles. My buddy also got a very nice buck in that hunt. If anyone wants to know the unit….it was 25M……..😬

Heres a 12a west

My 12aw early rifle buck. Great hunt

How’s a NR draw with 17 pts? I know residents with 30 plus

Here's a couple more pictures of him.
