  1. Too cool I can relate to taking them the first time, he's hooked I guarantee it. don't have any sons of my own but I had the honor of introducing all of my nephew's to hunting when they were young and they all haven't stopped, its a great feeling. hope you have lots of fun and memories.


  2. what about hunting privelidges? does NM revoke hunting and fishing like AZ, it didn't say anything about it in the article, Ive known of a few people that have supposedly made honest mistakes and cooperated with info and still lost their privelidges in AZ and still paid the fines, the hunting and fishing also carrys into quite a few other states that are now sharing information.


  3. I had the same thing happen to me this year in unit 32, we arrived to the area we were palnning to hunt on the first day, we noticed a couple of guys standing in a camp we passed down the road a ways, we parked and grabbed our gear and headded out up the canyon we were going to hunt and when we reached about mid-point of top of ridge we noticed a couple of guys standing above us,well after we decided that our gameplan had just gone sour we headed up the backside of the canyon to give space to the guys we saw already ahead of us, that evening we were headed back down to the truck we heard a shot from down the ridge to our left and saw them packing out a deer, we decided to go and check out the kill, it turns out that these guys were the guys we had seen in the morning, but the bad thing was they told us that they had seen these guys park their vehicle and they ran up the canyon in the dark to get ahead of them, thats about the time that i started to lose it and decided to let them know that we were the guys that they had ran past, of course they didn't find it funny after I told them. where did all the hunter ethics go? seems like the more I run into these kind of people the more i get angry, come on guys we are are all out there doing the same thing, have a little hunter courtesy to the next guy, you might find some day you might need help and don't be surprised if the person you ask might just look the other way, thats what just seems to be happening more often these days.


  4. A recent article in the Flag Rag talked of a couple of archery elk hunters looking for their arrow next to a guy's garage out in Fort Valley.

    one Rumer i have heard is that it was first shot on public land and finished on private land and a well known outfitter was also guiding the hunter? the stories listed are not the one I was refering to, has anybody heard any facts to the rumor I have heard, I believe it was in 3c on a superraffle permit.


  5. I was in springerville the day I shot my bull I had left my meat, head and cape in the freezer but while i was there I saw quite a few hunters coming from new mexico with elk that had the hide on them still. they had all said they were early morning kills and this was around 3 in the afternoon it was pretty warm that day, little long to have hide still on if you ask me. i wouldn't be suprised if they lost the meat around the neck and shoulders, if you're going to hunt make sure you are going to care of the game at least for someone to eat, if not just don't hunt, that's my opinion.
