Gonna be a lean year for our clan. The wife got an antelope tag and I pulled another deer tag for the desert muzzleloader hunt. Everything else was red. Bummer. Come on Wyoming!

How'd you fellas do?

6 unsuccessful applications, 1 successful for Barbary Sheep

Evidently it's an epidemic

Just talked to another friend and he went 0 for 6, his wife went 0 for 4 and his Son went 0 for 3 even as a youth hunt applicant.

Another friend 0'ferd for the 3rd year in a row

One buddy drew the same Barbary hunt as me and a bow antelope hunt in rattlesnake country.

To draw in this state you just need to live in another!

I drew an "Any Weapon" ibex!

Two trips to New Mexico for me this year, my 13 year old daughter drew a Rhodes Canyon oryx tag.

Damn, I better start saving some money!

Fishn4eyes, Is that Ibex for the Florida Mountains?

Congrats on an incredible tag!

feel free to check out my website if your looking for a guided hunt, my guys know this area real well and have taken some good animals out of there.
Thanks!

Well, no elk tag for me either. But, I did draw a NM deer tag

After NEVER drawing anything, this year my son drew a mule deer/rifle in Unit 24 and I drew any fork antlered deer muzzle loader in Pecos and a cow elk/rifle in Unit 16C... Should I also buy a lottery ticket?

I hope you know someone with land in 24. We were there last year and were disappointed.

16C should be fun!
Congrats!

Nothing but a big fat goose egg for me!!!

No ibex, no bighorn.

12th yr trying. Here's looking to 13!

I'm a cheap date, I dont drink alcohol but I'll drink my body weight in Tea, good thing refills are free!

You all should plan on staying with me on your way down, I'm about halfway and we love company. We could get together with Jeff and Madie as well and grab dinner.

Talk to you soon

Drummond

I'll buy you all the tea you can put down!

Thanks for the invite, I'll probably take you up on that.

Again, much appreciation for all the great info.

Chris

My group drew deer tags for NM. First time in my life ever got drawn for anything other than shit detail on a job. Looks like the Colorado OTC elk hunt will be on hold for a year.

Antelope 1-121 and oryx in February.

Do you think NM will trade me these 2 fine tags for 1 little ol' sheep?

No Elk tag again this year, but I did draw a deer tag. I didn't draw anything last year so this is a big improvement.

We were drawn for elk (muzzle loader) Gila area. Hope it doesn't all burn up!

Just talked to my guide, it has entered unit 15 and has spread 400,000 acres and there is 0% containment thus far. Let hope for lots of rain soon.

I hunt 15 a lot and see that the Wallow Fire is pretty much there. I read that the residents of Luna have been directed to prepare for evacuation, though the order has not been given. Locally, the electric company is telling us to prepare for rolling blackouts as the fire will likely interrupt power transmission from Palo Verde generating station. Fun times. Hopefully the critters escape the fire and we get enough rain later this summer to bring some vegetation back to the burned areas.

Those animals have to go somewhere... Unit 16?

Are you outfitting in NM now too? I've seen some posts where you talked about how you awarded extra permits in NM but didnt put it all together until you mentioned that you had a guide there. I always thought you were just a booking agent

Drummond, I am a booking agent, but I spend time down there every year, I ment to type outfitter and talk to the guides frequently as this is where I send quite a few people.

Drummond, speaking of booking, if you know anyone needing help booking in colorado that is a place I would love to represent.
Thanks!

Just learned my FIL got drawn for elk in his unit around Ruidoso.

I got drawn 16b Rifle

Applied for 1st rifle season thru Cabelas TAGS. Second year (2011) drew 16A first rifle. I will buy that lottery ticket now.
