Did an 9 hours trip today. Went from Albuq. Grants, Quemado then to the state line past Red Hill and only seen 2 Antelope bucks and zero doe. Came back and drove down the road to Luna and Zero Antelope. Turned around and came back to Quemado and went to Slaughter mesa and there also no Antelope to be found. Came out and went to Appache creek then towards Horse springs and seen 4 doe Antelope and that's it for Antelope. What the hell is going on in that unit? I'm sure the ranchers are...

My buddy and I are first time western hunters(and muzzleloader) but have bowhunted public whitetail around the midwest. Obviously this is totally new to us. I've done a lot of research on this forum and others, and a have also talked to a few people. We plan to get away from the roads and pressure but my main question is what type of pattern the bucks are in during mid-late october and what type of terrain to focus on? Will most of them be at higher elevations? Any other tips would be much... Read more ..read more

Does anybody else watch the fire season in Nm like a hawk or is just me?? Idk why I follow it so much it’s out of my control and not a dang thing I can do about it. A little fire started up in my elk unit, not crazy worried about it because it’s in an old burn anyways but non the less I’m still watching it and monitoring the progress. Any units out there that people are worried about?? I personally think 34 could be bad if something were to start in there, seems like there is a lot of fuel... Read more ..read more

I feel I’m the first idiot to suffer the 7 day wait. Bought a rifle off of MM and arrived just past May15th. Horrible policy from our local communist governor. I know there is currently a lawsuit in play to challenge such policy that only impacts law abiding citizens. I’m fully aware that she decided to outlaw open or conceal carry in Albuquerque as part of her “health” agenda. How do we push back? Who can we donate to or contact? It seems most of this states representatives are for such... Read more ..read more

I’ve been looking into to new bows and figured we need a new topic here any how. I’ve been shooting Hoyt since 2002 and have absolutely loved the turbo line. My favorite of all time being the Faktor turbo. Since Hoyt came out with the technology on the Rx5 and newer I can not bring myself to buy one. I do NOT like binary cam technology, or the one size fits all cam either. Us guys with shorter draw lengths are at a huge disadvantage with these types of cams. Reminds of the tech in an old...
