2024 New Mexico Draw Results
13 pages of blah, blah, blah and not until the 245th post did any of it talk about an actual draw result. That was last years New Mexico Draw Results Thread... this year is going to be a close runner up. Now that people are posting dead animals, I imagine we will far surpass 13 pages before a...- jlong17

Selling our house w/23 acres outside Helena, MT
Totally get it @MT Bound !! Good on you putting family first. I'm a CA native... been here my whole life. Every other week we talk about getting out of here. It ultimately ends with us deciding to stay with our family. Both my wife and I live within a mile of our parents, brothers and sisters... -

26 year wait - Utah elk hunt
Well done!! Awesome to see your initial post with the excitement and anticipation of getting the tag this spring… and ending up with this experience. I’d say this one will be tough to top when your an old Pappy telling stories from you’re rockin chair. -

We woke up this final morning with remnants of Hillary beating down this deplorable hunter. It was noticeably more wet and windy. For a split second I wanted to stay in the comforts of the trailer. I think we all did. However, I thought of the 10 previous months of wishing this time of year was... -

After typing and deleting several times I'll just come out and say it. I shot and missed two deer, ok. On the first occasion I was sitting down under a tree to escape the elements. I saw a flash of tan about a hundred yards out through the trees. I adjusted myself underneath the tree to allow...
