  1. Good luck. Get us some pictures and a story.
  2. Take a look at this story. http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2011/02/record-elk-found-back-huge-antlers-stuck-mud Record elk stuck in the mud.
  3. CB - rifle William, 75% of the tags in any unit go to the max point holders that apply. The remaining 25% are a random draw. The max point anybody had for elk this year was 5 points. I think you are right on the next hunt in that unit. I am just building points for Jake now also.
  4. Probably not. Never been there, it is a little south & west of where we were last year. Probably 50 - 75 miles or so. Not to late for the PP's. You get them between July 1st & Sept. I think. Know the July 1st is right, not sure about the ending date.
  5. Results are posted. http://gf.state.wy.us/DrawResults/frmSearch.aspx I am going hunting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Won't load for me, will it work for you?
  7. Happy Birthday. Hope you have a great & warm day.
  8. Yep, ran the sprinkler all night for that affect. Just talked to my son, he said for the most part the ice is all still there, might have to go for round 2 tonight since it is still below freezing.
  9. For anyone that applies as a NR in New Mexico and have not heard about the proposed changes to the tag allocations, please read below. This information is from the Huntin' Fool magazine. There is a link at the bottom where you can go in a voice your opinion and it will be sent to all of the NM Senators. Feel free to do that. Urgent New Mexico Legislative Action Item New Mexico Senate Bill SB196 has recently passed the Senate Conservation Committee and is heading to the Senate Fiscal Committee. If it passes in it's current form regular non-resident applicants will be limited to 2% of the total number of tags where guided resident and non-resident hunters may get 8% of the tags for any given hunt! They are also considering implementing the requirement to purchase a non-refundable hunting license to apply which is estimated at $90 for non-residents. New Mexico currently allocates permits in the antelope, Mule deer, and elk drawing as follows: 78% to residents, 12% to non-residents contracted with an outfitter, and 10% to regular non-resident applicants. Go to http://www.huntinfool.com/members/email_action.asp for complete details and to contact the New Mexico Senators with your opinion, comments, and/or concerns about this bill. Please feel free to forward this to any of your hunting buddies or those with interests in New Mexico hunting.

  10. Anybody that has spent any time in the woods knows that the moon phases affect deer movement. And yes I use that information to adjust my hunting. If it is a full moon and you know the deer are moving at night and then again during the middle of the day, I will remain in the stand longer in the mornings or all day possibly instead of getting out at the times I normally do.
  11. Just hit the send button at Cabelas for a T/C Triumph Bone Collector from the bargain cave. Should have it by next friday. So you members in here can expect me to start asking some questions in the not to distant future.
  12. Woke up this morning to this.... We don't get the kind of weather that creates this very often, so got to take advantage of it when we can. Although this was kind of fabricated, supposed to start getting the real thing this afternoon and tonight and might have a couple of inches of the white stuff in the morning. We will see.
  13. You have a point there. Congrats!!!!!!!!!

    Caviar

    Taste like chicken.
  15. Congrats!!! I think I enjoy the application/results time of year almost as much as I do the actual hunts.
  16. Between the drag cars & the cookouts do they have time for any hunting during the show? Or is it not actually a hunting show but more of a reality show?
  17. Great video footage of elk in Yellowstone http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_876544&v=GUQcMZLZpx8&feature=iv
  18. Not in the Houston area, and I hope they don't start. Our big initiative the last couple of years is "Going Green" The DOT has spent millions on trees and plants, only to have a lot of them die and the ones that do survive they have them planted so close they can't mow and it just makes the median areas look trashy in my opinion.
  19. If you look right at the top of the channel, we have silt fence lining it to keep the silt out of the channel. And what you can't see is another run of silt fence further down the slope as well. Yes we do get hammered as well. Winter???? We work straight through winter as well:flex::flex::flex: Any packers fan affected by our work are lost and won't be making it to the game anyways.
  20. It is on 10 just west of 45 at Studemont.
