    NM out of state elk

    As the draw goes NR can not hunt antler less elk unless you get an ES archery tag. You still pay the cost of a bull tag for a ES tag. Now you can buy a landowner tag and hunt antler less elk.
  2. Send me a PM with address and I can get mine in the mail by Friday. The only thing is I may not have the drivers for the serial port to USB adapter I have.

    Taxidermist in ABQ?

    Check out American Wild Life Taxidermy on Central or drive down to Bosque Farms and check them out. I drive by the one in Bosque Farms every day but can't remember the name right now. Saw an elk mount they were delivering and it was impressive. I haven't had any taxi work done in year as I just euro mount mine.

    Strange pics

    Oh no! Now someone is going to pull up the old dude in the speedo right when I got the image out of my head.

    red flagged

    That is why I don't use Windows. That and the fact it takes over my computer to do updates whether I want it to or not. I do have a Windows Partition for the GPS that won't work on the Mac OX System.

    New Mexico rut

    The bull I killed in Unit 9 by Mount Taylor was a ML hunt and they were rutting on Oct. 13th. They were bugling all night and the bull I killed was walking around a bedded cow screaming his head off.

    Sleep in hunting clothes when backpack hunting?

    The best way to stay scent free is go on a vegan diet for a month before hunting season. Animals are not as alarmed by the smell of a veggiesaurus over a meatasaurus. Do some sagebrush sweat lodge cleanses. Wash your hair in purified water then slick it down with some deer tallow. Make sure to wash your clothes in scent free soap and then let line dry. Make sure you use the UV inhibitor soap as well. Then turn on your Ozonics and stay downwind. If I sleep in clothes I usually sleep colder than just my boxer briefs.

    Death waits at the water hole

    I would say it is a yote. I clicked on the picture to get a bigger view and could not make out a collar and the ears and muzzle looked too pointy.

    Coues in 4K

    It looked totally awesome and clear. I could just about count every blade of grass. Could definitely see heat mirage on some images. As far as a comparison between 4K and 1080 I don't know as my wife upgraded my old 27" Zenith box TV to this big flat screen for Father's Day this year. She said I also get to buy an AR with 30 round mags before November so I think I need to keep her for another 28 years.

    Coues in 4K

    Great video. I streamed it through my 55" 4K tv instead of my mac.

    mouth reeds

    Find one that fits your palate. Sometimes you have to cut a bit of the call to get it to fit right. The one that works for me is Primos Sonic Dome Double. Before I used mouth calls I started with bite and blow calls, the hyper lip. Much easier to use unless you are in bow range.

    Anyone see the Meteorite near Show Low?

    Thats what they want you to think. Its actually Thor's hammer. No. I have Thor's Hammer in my closet after I kicked Loki out of Valhalla.

    Recommend a TSA approved rifle case

    Haven't used one. If it were me I would buy a strong aluminum one that will handle the abuse of the baggage handlers. They are the ones you have to worry about. When my daughter went to Spain and Italy the only thing was the lock on her suitcase had to be TSA approved. Of course she didn't have a firearm with her in checked baggage.

    Anyone see the Meteorite near Show Low?

    From what I read that was the size of the VW when it entered the atmosphere and then went claymore to the size of peas and strawberries.

    Dry Ice in a yeti/rtic cooler?

    The thing I have heard is you put dry ice on the bottom to cool and on top to freeze. One suggestion I have if using regular cube ice you buy at the store buy it about 2 weeks before and put it in your freezer at home. My home freezer is 0 degrees but when you buy it at the store it is about 28-30 degrees. I also make block ice at the house. Last year I took one ice chest with about 16 2 qt frozen jugs, set it in the shade wrapped in a 0 degree sleeping bag and only opened it to put new blocks in the other ice chest. After 10 days I still had ice left over. Another suggestion is to pre-cool the ice chest and the stuff you are putting in the ice chest.

    Fixins for another huge fire

    We have the same thing going over here in the Manzano mountains about 15-20 miles from my house. Started yesterday and went from about 8 acres to about 1000 in 8 hours. Tonight it is 11 and looks like the sun is coming up. Hopefully they can get it controlled soon. It is going to be a bad year for fires. No cause on this one yet but I would lay money on it being man caused.

    New hunting spot

    Which "hunting show" you going to be on?
  22. In case anybody is interested leftover tags are going on sale. I might get a stink pig I am not sure yet. Only 7 elk licenses for mobility impaired hunters up north. Here is a list of available licenses:

    Left over tags on sale June 23rd

    Only time I was in the boot hill area was about 30 years ago when I helped put water guzzlers together for the desert bighorns. It was Nov. quail season so I had birds on the mind.

    Do you really need a truck to hunt...

    Depends on what type of hunting you are doing. I have a 91 S-10 2WD that is my hunting vehicle. Before that they were 2WD Nissans, 85 and 87 and before that it was an 83 S-10 Blazer 4x4. I loved the Blazer as I could go about anywhere in it in 2WD that my buddies had to put their trucks in 4X4 due to the weight on the rear wheels. Now if I have to seriously use 4X4 I just take my 78 CJ-5 that I drove in high school.

    Left over tags on sale June 23rd

    Yeah I have a bow tag for mule deer in 23. Last year I had the Coues tag after having 3 bucks the previous year 30 yards from me with a ML tag for mule deer in another unit. So last year no Coues but 5 mule deer 30-50 yards. So this year I am guaranteed not to see mule deer but Coues again. I try to elk hunt the few elk in that unit at the same time but I got my third choice elk over in unit 17.
