i know a family that has drawn a tag since i had known them.

i bet they have naked pics of the governor with underaged hookers..impossible odds. they get unit 15 year after year.

good luck fellas..i cant draw a tag to save my life anymore. my stepdad passed this year, so i got distracted and missed the deadline anyways.

As my handle suggests I've been unlucky. This is my 15th consecutive year applying unsuccessfully for unit 36. Before that it was not problem to get drawn.

I need some of those pics of Martinez. Was the hooker male or female :D

You can hunt on public land with a "land owner" tag. A "ranch only" tag limits you to the land owner's property.

I will be on the second archery hunt in Unit 13. So far my scouting trips have all resulted in cows/calves and one spike and there is plenty of food and water where they are at now. Does anyone know if the bulls will come to the cows or the other way around?

New Mexico is a great state for hunting. I unfortunately did not draw anything this year. My brother drew unit 10 tag. Unit 10 is like my back yard being from gallup. Any of you familiar with the area?

the best way to find the bulls for september is to find the cows. they will follow unless they have been gelded.
