Friend bailed on our upcoming New Mexico mule deer trip
You can only donate tags back to the state and they'll make it available to a youth hunter (or something along those lines).- skunk

Wondering about tactics for handling shots near dark
Good info so far. Thanks everyone! I plan to have the option of both backpack hunting and camping at the car. Originally when my friend was supposed to come with, I thought we'd backpack in a few miles and camp and then just strike out from there or move as needed. However, now that I'll be...- skunk

Friend bailed on our upcoming New Mexico mule deer trip
I was supposed to be hunting Mule Deer for my first time and first western hunt this November but my friend bailed, leaving me high and dry.
