nm elk tags

So you drop 6K, see a big ole bull, and just take a picture. No thanks. I would rather get a LO tag and hunt DIY and shoot the big bulls I see.

Well at the time it seemed like a good prospect. My dad and I up to then had only shot cows. If I could go back and do it again I would. But having already done it would I do it again? Probably not. We had to just look at a few 350 bulls walk by. We were looking for a hunt with solid success and lots of rutting with opportunity at a 300+ bull and that's what we got. I am not one for guided hunting though, I prefer diy hunting 100-1 however having not drawn a tag and looking into many hunts last year, it was the one that caught my eye the most and I'm glad it did it got me my first bull

Don't let anyone make you feel any different about the hunt you and your dad had. Looks like a awesome time spent together

+1. That's an awesome bull you got. I'd take a mature bull like that with a few things against him over a high scoring younger bull anyday. If score is that important to you you're missin the entire purpose of the trip. I enjoy hunts where there's a good rut and a high bull to cow ratio. It looks like you got exactly that and instead if getting to shoot one big bull for $12k you guys both got to shoot dang nice bulls for the same $12k between you and made a lot if memories in the process. Sounds pretty good to me!

Well said Shane! Its the hunt that should be the most important part. You had an opportunity to hunt bull elk with your Dad and you were both successful, hard to put a price on that!! Well done man.

Been out of the country for a few days, so circling back to this.

 

I thought we were talking about tags you could buy.... I was giving my opinion that I would have a hard time paying 6K and not be able to hunt the best bulls I see when you can get some really good LO tags for that price.

 

Swamp - I feel bad now, as I was in no way trying to take away from your hunt experience you had with your dad.... sounds like an awesome time... I was merely giving my opinion for the original poster that started the thread.
