The road to Big Lake just past Sheep's Crossing on Saturday. The snow plows couldn't get through and neither could the graders/blowers.

Nice job. great looking buck

Awesome.... nice buck

Nice Job.

On the ranch. I was up there on Sat. and saw 5 herds of about 10 - 15 in each. I also saw two solo bucks. All bucks including the herd bucks were small. I was also expecting to see more. I didn't see anyone else scouting antelope, but saw plenty scouting for elk. Only two scouting for elk had seen any antelope. This was my first time hunting unit 10 so I was mainly trying to cover a lot of area and figure out the roads. I did see a bachelor group of elk on a tank right about dusk.

Nice looking buck. how much more was the pedestal? Is that considered a "custom pose" or is that a standard shoulder mount?

Thanks How much pressure is there? Do the herds migrate much?

Super excited to draw a unit 10 rifle tag. First time hunting unit 10. From prior posts it appears that there is good hunting on the public side, but curious to know if extra fees are worth it to hunt on the Boquillas side? Do they limit the number of hunters on Boquillas or is anyone with a tag eligible to purchase a permit?

Just curious to know from those familiar with unit 1 about what areas are move productive. We started up near Big Lake and bumped into a few different solo cows, but they had calves and we passed up. No snow to speak of, but most of the water with exception of the W. fork was frozen including Big Lake. We moved down near Greens Peak and bumped into a few more, but couldn't get a shot off. Son will be out of school, so will be able to head back up this weekend.

Sounds like we all had similar experiences......

Did anyone have any luck in 23? We had the early hunt and were up there for the opening weekend. The weather didn't cooperate and we had quite of bit of wind / rain. We didn't hear or see any birds. My buddy went back up the Tues. following opening weekend once the weather settled down and still no luck.
