I have to celebrate the little things this time of year...otherwise all I got to worry about is work all day everyday.

And I hope all these new western hunters are better stewards of the resource than the average new "duck commander" duck hunter that us waterfowlers have had the pleasure of dealing with the last few years.
I think the west is BIG enough that the ones that are in it for the wrong reasons will never set foot in the places that many of us hunt because they are hard to reach.shaynew1 said:
I think the west is big enough and the experience rich enough if everyone is headed out for the right reasons.
this is one reason why hunting in CO has gotten more popular. is a non-resident elk tag expensive at $600 plus? sure. add in costs of travel and even cheap DIY hunts arent cheap. but theyre sure as hell a better bargain than most texas deer leases these days.Sean98 said:
Or, you know, skip 1 year of Texas whitetail hunting lease costs and buy a landowner tag, or hunt the OTC ground like us LOLPoorz.

Yeah, I thought about the idea we wouldn't actually be moving unit after my post.
As far as our shape, I am good to go, but worry about us as a group being to put in some decent miles to get away from the crowd. That's the main reason I was considering a drop camp, as it will already get us a decent distance from most other hunters.

Yeah, I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about wearing down my 57 y/o father over a week of hunting.
It also depends on what my brother and BIL want to spend. If they get tight on me, we'll just have to truck camp and make do.
In that regard (and related to my post above), do you think getting at least 1 PP and drawing 1st rifle would be preferable over OTC in 2nd and 3rd rifle?

I've recently discovered that some very key points of info that I had always believed about NM draw odds/strategy... are simply wrong.
I really dislike a lot about the way this state handles its wildlife business and how they treat NRs, but I also thoroughly enjoyed my SE NM Archery hunt last year.
You can work this broken system.
I had that "figured out" last year. I purposely applied and got drawn for a "standard" unit and it was a great hunt... 17 mule deer spotted on day 1 with 5 bucks (3 legal and 1 very nice).ursusguy said:
So you figured out the trophy vs. "opportunity" units? Through in landowner permits and you have a great time.
