You guys....heck. I would have taken a tag TODAY if they offered it to me!! A buddy of mine, his kid had a antelope tag, and he filled it midday today with a very respecatble goat.

You're welcome...

You have a month of scouting. Good luck.

Man, I wish I could get that email. I have a slower week scheduled next week.

Went to a Y.O.U. Hunters Ed camp for Taylor and my wife too. My neighbor is a big time member. Great organization.

Took one good one, one very good one. My 17 year old daughter took her 1st.

We were up around Springer/Raton area.

Great first story. Nothing wrong with your first buck. Only gets better from there. Welcome to the site. Lots and LOTS of knowledge (and opinions) here.

Welcome. Great post and sentiment. Fantastic pronghorn as well. What part of the state?

Do they work? Yeah. Are they ugly as heck? Yeah. If you have a factory R700 sporter contour, you can get the muzzle threaded and a brake installed by a gunsmith. Much less likely to catch on anything, and way, WAY more aesthetically pleasing. Probably way less weight hanging off the end too.

Less people today, but great wingshooting. And, had AZGFD show up to check licenses and birds. I like seeing that. He even said to us, "You guys are slaying the Eurasians, good job." Great guy. 67 total for me. 6 white wing, 8 mourning, and 53 Eurasions.

Didn't touch Adam's record, but left with 8 legal birds, and 63 Eurasions.

All packed up and ready for tomorrow.

They had RL26, H1000 and H4350 the other day. So I loved them that visit.

Did you try spraying a little penetrating oil like Kroil or PB Blaster to creep between die body and brass?

Depends. Up on the Kaibab or Strip, no. Anywhere else, yes. If he has been a 2x2 for 3-4 years, his genetics are bad. So cut him from the gene pool now.

I have one I can send you if you don't find one in Flag.

You fought wolves? Is this Liam Neeson from "The Grey"? And that sucks that you have had to use crows to find downed game several times. All that meat gone to waste.

We were in the state next to you....

Yeah, absolutely no passing that buck...ever. Great buck.

I have 4 Axisworks rifles, with #5 at his shop as we speak. I would not have gone back for #3/4/5 if they were not awesome. 6CM, 6.5SS, 6.5SS, .280AI. #5 is a 25SST.

Seemed like NM was quite a bit drier this year than last where I hunted too. Saw 4 big pronghorn.

AZ/NM border...

You know I mean it too. Just not sure what you are going to shoot it with....I mean, you have no ammo for your .300WM....oh wait....
