There are some field pics on the 4th page of the NM photogallery. It also has the link to the write up I sent Amanda. There is also some video of him in the video clips section. Thanks and enjoy! CB

That's what I was talking about! And what is up with putting info on "first-come leftover process" on the big game draw results part? I won't know if I need a leftover tag until they post the results in the first place. Must be getting close.

They are doing something to the website. I have gone there a couple of times this morning and it is unusually slow to come up and the order in which items on the website come up are a little different each time. My bet is today sometime. Could be any minute. CB

NRA? I am still a little ticked at that group for what they pulled during the whole Jennifer Martin appointment!

Lance, they can still be purchased new for $590. I sold mine last December for $475. They were in excellent condition and I included the $30 tripod adaptor. I owned them for 5 years but only used them for 4 seasons. The guy I sold them to knew he was getting a fair deal and I knew I was getting a fair deal. I would try and find out ahead of time the ability and cost of replacing those eye cups before I bought them. CB

Ditto - they can also put on a new and better recoil pad. My buddy has his 300 weatherby done and he said between the muzzle break and the recoil it was much more pleasant to shoot. CB

Casey, you need to quit drinking before you go to bed!!

my sicko buddy and I refer to our wives as whitetail widows!

I have heard of someone putting diced onions under someone else's pillow.

Does anyone know if they sold more or less sheep tickets through the Super Raffle?

Doug, one thing we did a few years ago to pass some time was set up a chipmunk trap. We used a box, a stick, a fishing pole and a little bread. The trick we found out was to only lift the box up enough to let em in other wise it wouldn't fall quick enough before they were able to escape. We did catch one but didn't know what to do with it once we had it. I don't know who has it but I took a pic of my buddy sitting on a stump in the middle of camp holding a fishing pole with the box in the background. Passed by Flag yesterday on my way back from UT. There was a major storm that hit 89 north of Flag when we were on the road. Had to slow down to keep from hydro planing. Later - CB

Happy 4th of July everyone and THANK YOU to all the service men and their families who frequent this site!!!

I know Jim White sent several different adaptors to the Nikon rep and there were a couple that worked. Try to get in touch with Jim. He should be able to get you set up. CB

We have had rain off and on here in the southeastern part of the state for several days now. Pretty hit or miss. Sometimes it looks real nasty but only produces a few drops. CB

Has there been anything published in Pennsylvania since they went to an antler point restriction 3 - 4 years ago?

Bret, what did the final score of this buck end up being? Any other pics you can share with us? Thanks. CB

That is an awesome buck!! Sure looks bigger than 108". Did they tell you who was 1st and 2nd? Any idea what those bucks scored and/or have pics of them that we can see? Congrats. CB

Early 23 WT hunt again. Hopefully luck will be with me again this year. CB

Not sure but I think you will be looking to the Animas mountains area. Only problem is that I think there is a lot of private land around there and not sure what kind of access you will have to the mountain range. Good luck. CB

AG - it would be hard not to shoot at a big buck that was busted out of its bed and was running away. I personally am not going to be pulling the trigger on anything in NM unless I am 100% certain that what I am shooting at is legal. Also, your more experienced coues hunters (glassers) are probably not going to be jumping big bucks out of their beds. Yes it is possible but for the most part not that likely. Glassers are not hiking around as much and are doing a much better job at spotting deer than non-glassers. I personally have not shot at a busted out buck in 8 years and that was done way back before I owned a pair of quality binoculars and had learned to let my eyes do my walking for me. Now I have only hunted NM once but from what I saw, hunting WT in NM is pretty tough. Deer numbers are lower than in AZ and the country is big and rugged. Based on that observation, I would guess the majority of the WT hunters in NM are going to be more experienced and less likely to shoot a buck that is not legal. More than likely, the illegal bucks that are going to be accidentally shot are going to be from non-glassing carp hunters who are running around in their jeeps and quads road hunting. Just my 2 cents. CB

Dont you think the odds of there being a large, old 2x2 buck without eyeguards is pretty slim? I do. Maybe a big 2x2 carp without eyeguards but not a whitetail. CB

That is a nice buck!!! You have got to love the palmation on that right antler and that bladed eye guard on the right side is SWEEEEET Hopefully that buck makes it through the year. He will be sweet this year if he does. CB

I wish AZ would go to it!!!

As an AZ native (southeastern AZ), my favorite thing is the warm weather. The corporate headquarters for the company I work for is in Minneapolis and I absolutely hate it when they send me back there during the winter. Just can't stand cold weather. CB

Come on guys. We are poor man sheep hunters. So you got to go with a sheep. I would keep it simple and just say a trophy Dall. CB
