    no bait archery black bear

    Going to be elk hunting in northern New Mexico. Every year we seem to stumble on some beautiful color phase bears without trying. Was planning on getting a bear tag as I usually do. But want to actually spend some time bear hunting. Having never bear hunted how would some you more experienced...

    Cam lean

    I shoot an Elite GT500. I've been tempted to update but it just hasn't happened. My strings were changed in August 2015. Last June when my buddy bought a new impulse (green with envy) I had the shop go through mine. I shot a bit and was on. Then the string on the code red rest began to fray. I...

    Illinois sharpshooters

    So I live in the North eastern most county in Illinois. The county North of Chicago. Lake County has the second largest forest preserve district in the state, 31,000 acres. Only problem is they don't allow hunting. Over the last 10 or 15 years the Forest preserve district has bought a large...

    Dilemma

    So, my sister has a new boyfriend. I don't know him that well, just from what other people have told me. Apparently the kid is pretty well off as his family has a pretty big jewelry store. By all accounts he sounds like a decent guy...but he has one hell of a story. It's a story thats a pretty...

    Here we go again

    The anti-hunters are at it again. A man was killed while hunting an elephant. Some of the comments on yahoo are absolutely disgusting. Now, the elephant thing isn't for me...but these guys that do pay big money to hunt the animals. That money goes towards the preservation of the animals...

    Self film archery rig

    So I'm looking to film my own archery hunt in the fall. I've seen videos from the stabilizer cameras and while they work I'm looking for a better quality when the arrow is released. Those cameras usually turn to fuzz from all the vibration. I have the small go-pro with the chest mount. I know...

    Can't make this up!!

    Not sure if anyone else has seen this but... "A college professor in Montana is accusing Walmart of libel, after he says the store deliberately listed his profession as “CLEAN TOILETS” on a state-issued fishing license." Some people can't take a joke...

    Hunting show

    So a buddy of mine wants me to go to a deer and turkey show tomorrow. Really not much I'm interested in when it comes to those 2. Only so much food plot, game camera, tree stand stuff I can look at. Didn't see much archery stuff on the exhibitor list. Was hoping some guys in the elk hunting...

    New Mexico HM 94

    https://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/17%20Regular/memorials/house/HM094.pdf Looks like New Mexico will be talking, or is currently talking about taking some 8,000 un-used elk landowner tags and putting them back into the draw pool. Meeting was scheduled for today.

    Birthday ideas

    So my dad's birthday will be in a few weeks. He's a tough SOB to get something for because he can have pretty much whatever he wants. I'm open to ideas. But, I was thinking something to help him learn to use calls. We've been elk hunting far too long for him to really not know how to call. He's...

    What should I do

    Never been anywhere beside New Mexico. This year I bowed out of our group to let someone else in. I figured Id call and go on a Bear tag. As last resort they put in for the last Any sporting arm AKA rifle season. Thats what they got. October 22-26. Most likely the Bear quota will be filled. Do I...

    Utah??

    OK, so after doing some light research I haven't really found what I'm looking for. I'm currently in the NM draw. We've been pretty successful in years past. But I'm trying to come up with a backup plan. Based on herd size Utah seems to have a pretty comparable herd compared to New Mexico. It...

    Cow Calls

    I've searched a little and have gotten some good info on old threads. Our elk trip starts in a few weeks and one member our group who after 5 years (this is our 6th year getting tags) has a reluctance to learn any call except the hoochie and the cowgirl. He's put me on a quest to find him a call...

    NM Bear

    Anybody hunted bear out there? Ive seen them almost every year I've gone out there elk hunting. Was contemplating buying a tag just in case. Ive never hunted them, but they're next up on my want to do list. I'm bow hunting so it would be archery season only for bear as well. Any advice?

    Shower?

    Curious. Last year I had first archery in New Mexico. It was a 2 week long season and I was there for all of it. I start to to stink after 3 hunts and need a shower. As a welder I built a trailer for my atv and put a 65 gallon water tank on it just for us to shower. Have a 12 volt pump with a...

    New Mexico 51

    Was wondering if anyone else was going to unit 51 in New Mexico. Last year we got a 285 6x6 and a cow in the 1st archery season. Arrowed a 300+ bull the third day of the season but after tracking for almost a mile he dried up, poor shot selection. Anyone else going there for either archery season?
