Here's a great buck I found in New Mexico a few days before season. Not long after first light on opening morning we glassed him up and watched him bed down. We made a stalk and got to within 300 yards of him and waited a long 2 hours before he stood to give us a shot. Our client made the opportunity count and hammered him!

Everything a mulie should be. Congrats to all.


I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.

Nice!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

The largest deer Ive seen in my hunting career came out of Southern New Mexico and on the Texas border, those sandhill bucks are awesome, Ive not seen better in Mexico..but they are hard to hunt and far and few between in that big open country...tracking in the sand works best, walking in the sand is a killer. When I was a kid my best friends dad managed the old Frying Pan ranch in Texas fairly close to the Mexico border line. We very seldom saw any deer back then, but when we did it was an awesome sight..Better management has improved that area of New Mexico and Texas, and the strong desert feed grows big bucks..Its definatly a young mans hunt. It would be a great hunt horseback..But those ranches are booked up solid for several years in advance these days. The Texas record Mule deer was poached in that area and hangs in the Dept. of Public safety in that area today. I don't recall what town, mayby Rankin, but not sure.
