Good afternoon all, I was fortunate enough to be drawn for NM unit 6A. I've never hunted elk with a muzzleloader. Any advice on hunting elk with a muzzleloader? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Awesome job man. I’ve tried many a time to call in a bear but no luck so far.

Thanks for sharing! Great bear!

Jmc I am interested if he is not sir.

Way to go! Congratulations!

Hello all, wanted to share the beautiful color of this bear for all you fellow bear nuts! I was very blessed to be able to harvest this beautiful lady. She's not the biggest but I am very thankful for my first archery harvest! Had some great help from great people before and during the weeks in the mountains, which as many of you know makes for a great experience. Special thanks to JJ, Chris, Brit, and Matt! I know another guy I met out hunting and several other guys killed some monster boars recently, congratulations to them and good luck to everyone else still with tags!

Thanks guys! I knew you'd love the color Kidso!

Thank you Pelapapas! Good to hear Wildwoody, I am taking it to Jerry for a rug here shortly.

Thanks all! Hey Scott! Yes sir indeed it was a KILL! 👍🏻

Way to go! Congratulations!

Woo! Good luck to everyone else!

Card hit!

Congrats sir!

Hey guys hope everyone had a great Christmas! A few buddies and I are going Mountain lion hunting tomorrow at 34A and I thought it'd be a good idea to post on here and see if you guys recommended any specific areas/ or advice? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm not using dogs, gonna try to spot + call one in, I know there's a slim chance we'll get anything but we are also gonna be scouting for our Javelina hunt in February. Thanks!

Thank you sir, have a good one!

Awesome pics! Ever hunted unit 34A for lion? I'm going tomorrow and any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hello all! I'm new to the forum but I must say this is website is mighty resourceful! My buddy and I have Whitetail tags for the hunt that begins Friday in 30A. We had two scouting trips(did not see anything) and decided that the Pedregosa Mountains are where we will setup camp for the weekend, somewhere on the North side most likely. I was just hoping that some of you gentlemen could provide advice as to that area or put me in touch with someone who could? I'm planning on going to pick up some topo maps this week and I'm fairly familiar with the area after the scouting but any advice or help will be much appreciated! Also I've hunted Mule and Elk but never hunted for Whitetail...any words of wisdom/tips for a young hunter seeking his first Whitetail? Thanks a lot guys! Syd

Hey Shed, Same as you brother, we left empty handed Monday afternoon. We had a blast though, hiked about 9 miles or so. Saw 6 does, no bucks at all. Some guys on quads got a buck, looked decent enough. I wasn't too impressed with the place either, but I must say I've never seen so much bear poop in my life, and Sunday I saw a large bear about 300+ yards away while glassing. I think he smelt me though cause he was trucking it in the opposite direction! It was pretty exciting for me though, my first bear sighting! Guess I know where I'm going for bear hunting!

Thanks Couesaz, I'll give that a shot! Shedghost, man that's too bad about the phone! We'll be in a Green Dodge & white Chevy somewhere on that road, should be about 5-6 of us. Yeah I got lucky I'm still unemployed since graduating so gonna hit Monday hard...but hopefully we'll have something by then. Great pic btw! The area is dang beautiful.

Hey Coues&bass and Scooter, Thanks a lot for the advice guys! I'll do my best to make you guys proud and post some pics if we get anything! I'll be sure to glass my butt off haha. Shedghost and coues7, man I guess we're all in the same boat..I was at Tucson Map and flag today and the guy that works there was telling me how everyone hunts this unit only ONCE, haha. But yeah Ghost we are heading in on Friday morning and should stay till Monday night. From what I saw scouting our best bet is to hump it into the deeper parts of the Pedgregosas. If you need a hand while you're out there send me a PM before ya leave with your number and I'll be more than happy to help you out. Also, I've heard the Peloncillo mts have some good spots in them..
