Ive been hoping for something similar for a long time. I love the idea of a mandatory harvest report like new mexico. U have to file a harvest report before u apply again. If u file before a certain date ur good to go. After that date u r charged a fee. and I would also love to see it changed to a branch antler instead of any antlered deer. Let them grow up a little bit.

I got a Mystery Ranch crew cab, and just bought a mark v accumark .270 weatherby mag, now gonna have to sell some things to mount some glass on it

Im with the rest of the crowd. Ur more of a man for holding out. it looks awesome tho. if u save some for ole mexico and as soon as I get my wife on board with the idea, im bookin with u

Ttt

Ya my grandpa was a welder at the mill and when they got shut down he said the day would come when instead of falling asleep to the sound of the chipper we'd fall asleep to the sounds of choppers puttin out a fire....

They have a small mill set up here in Eagar in the yard where the old Southwest mill was. From what I understand everything going to that mill is coming from out of the Blue, but i could be wrong. either way they are milling logs here in town.

I watched it thinkin the same thing. I turned it after he cut down the tree with the stand in it. What a joke

Im suprised it took this long for it to get nuked. I was happy to see it gone. Just give it a week or 2 there will be something else to piss an moan over. Just be patient

That is an awesome buck. amazing width an tons of mass.

Congrats cuz. Thats an awesome buck. Now lets find some huge sheds

Whether its 350fps or 200fps thru the guts or the boiler room it wont make a difference either way, you have a wounded or dead animal. Shoot a lot, be passionate and learn from your mistakes. I like the change for those who understand their limits. Good luck to all the youngsters that are benifited by this.

HUGE buck and huge congrats on a dream buck. One of the coolest bucks I've ever seen. Congrats again.

I would love to kill one of those 103" bucks. Huge bucks and awesome collection.

Come on you have got to have a better picture of that hawg than that. Awesome find tho

Me and my brother in law just pulled into town from 35A. It was his first coues hunt and I was just along to be a spotter. We got there monday night just as the storm hit and had to come home this morning at 11 since i've got to work tomorrow. Tuesday morning we were able to glass up a load of does and the element kicked our butts from about 10-dark but we hunted hard and were SOAKED!!! But we were having a blast in some of the most awesome coues country I have ever hunted. This morning we woke up to a fresh coat of snow and we were pumped. We got to our glassing spot and found loads of deer right away. As I kept glassing he decided to follow some fresh tracks that had left the canyon. I had just glassed up a spike when I heard him start the shooting. I gathered up all my stuff and made a mad dash to where he was shooting from and he informed me that he had hit the buck but didnt know how good. We picked up the tracks and got on blood but he wasnt bleeding to bad so luckily we had a coat of snow the follow his track to his bed and able to put the finishing touches on him. Im proud of my bro in law for sticking with it thru the tough weather. This was my first trip to 35A and I loved the country. We wouldve been lost without some info from some friends in the area. Will post pics soon as we just got home. I will be going back to 35A for sure

I'll buy you one if you buy me one.... I just bought a brand new spotting scope and my wife swears up and down that I am not giong to have anything to unwrap on christmas morning... This could solve that problem

I just hope somebody finally figured out how to make it look like a "lightning strike" hahha

Me and my brother once again drew New Mexico archery mule deer tags. With the monster bucks we hunted last year in the back of our minds we were very excited and began scouting as soon as we were able to get on the forest due to fire restrictions. Scouting trip after scouting trip wasnt turning up much and New Mexico is a no bait state so it was a lot more difficult to get big bucks on camera and we hadnt got a whole lot of pictures to get very excited over. Late in July I drove over to glass a little bit and to check our cameras and I picked up a shed off of one of the bucks that we hunted last year and this immediatly had us pumped and ready for Sept 1. A weekend camping trip and a few more day trips and opening day was just around the corner. We both had to work on Sept 1 but we had everything packed up and ready for the road trip that night. Our first morning our was kind of slow but we had a couple nice bucks and a few younger bucks passing by one camera in particular. So that afternoon I was high off the ground in a tree stand. Around 5 o'clock here came a nice 4 point, a 3 point and a couple forkies. Thinking that they would for sure come down the trail I was sitting I tried to be patient as they fed out in front of me for about 30 minutes at 65 yards. Well the 3 point and one of the forkies began to feed back into the thicket and the 4 point slowly began to follow. With light running out I drew my bow and took a 65 yards shot and watched my arrow fly inches in front of him. Knowing what this area holds I was able to laugh it off. When I got back to camp it was already past dark and Lee was there waiting for me with some awesome news. While I was in the stand he went to a different area to try and locate some more deer since we hadnt been able to turn up the big bucks from last year. He glassed up 3 nice bucks suprisingly 2 of them were Cactus bucks. He watched them for a long time before he talked himself into throwing a stock on the bigger of the 2. After a long teadious stalk he sent an arrow thru this buck at 55 yards and he is the most unique buck I have ever layed eyes on. Bases as big around as a coke can carries that mass all the way up. Its hard to get good pictures of him but he ended up being a 9x8. He feels real tough killing deer that dont even have NUTS haha just kidding bro that is a once in a lifetime buck there. Saturday brought a lot of weekend warrior hunters and they had deer scattered everywhere we were still able to glass them up but they were on the run before I was even able to begin a stalk so I thought the best thing to do was climb back in the stand and wait but nothing was wanting to move. Saturday my dad showed up to play camp cook and hang out and it was nice to have him there in camp as well. Sunday morning started off the same as saturday with glassing up deer and having them scattered by someone else so we headed out to do some glassing were my brother had killed his buck. As luck would have it Lee made an awesome spot on a big buck bedded down in some shade about 3/4 mile away. So I was off on my stalk while my dad and brother watched it all unfold. An hour later I was within 50 yards from a doe and a 3x4 and was unable to see the bigger buck. So as soon as I had an oppurtunity I drew my bow settled my pin and watched my arrow disappear in the 3x4. As soon as they ran it seemed like Lee was on top of the knob with me and I tell you this was a STEEP knob. I dont know how he got up there so quick but it took us a minute to find first blood but we only had to follow it for about 30 yards before we were able to see my buck at the bottom of the knob tangled up in a juniper snag. As we slid down the hill it was easy to see that my buck did cart wheels all the way down and unfortunently he snapped the 4th point on his left side and it was hanging on only by his velvet. He wasnt the bigger of the 2 bucks but I couldnt be happier with him. We had a heck of a time over there and tho we were unable to locate the big bucks from last year we were able to find some awesome bucks anyway. It was awesome to have my brother and my dad there with me when I killed my buck. They have taught me everything I know. Cant wait till next year!

Exactly how we do it bill. Kind of a spot and stalk crawdad fishing haha. Drag that bacon right in front of them. Game over. Probably the funnest thing to take the kids to do my 2 year old son loves fishin for those "crabs" haha
