I forgot to mention that you can get your OHV sticker with the New Mexico dept of Tourism by phone and fax and they will send it to you.

What are you doing in my unit 27 spot!

Happy belated B-Day, wih many great returns

Your best bet is to get your tag from the New Mexico G&F online right now, or you will have to get it in New mexico before your hunt starts. Do not forget to get your Forest service recreational use sticker, $10.00 bucks I think, and attach it to your license. Getting caught without one will cost you$$$$$$. Also do not use your atv/ohv without getting your Non-resident OHV permit, getting caught without it will cost you $$$$$. Nonresident OHV Permit and Use Fees Nonresident permits may be purchased during regular business hours, at Department of Game and Fish offices in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Raton, Roswell and Las Cruces or at the New Mexico Department of Tourism. Nonresident permits and fees (Must be renewed every 2 years from the date of initial registration): • Only available at Department of Game and Fish and Department of Tourism offices. • $17 Permit Fee (unless OHV is registered in another state) • $30 User Fee (unless an OHV user fee is currently paid in another state) • $1 New Mexico Clean and Beautiful Program Fee • $2 Administrative Fee • $50 total ($3 if registered and permitted in another state) Nonresident 90-day permits and fees: • Nonresidents have the option to purchase a 90-Day Permit for $23, which includes user, administrative and program fees.

Wishing Mr.Bill a big happy birthday with many returns.

Ted Nugent for President! I would love to see him in a political debate with Obama and Mcain. He would eat their lunch!

Man, you guys are taking all the good scores. I guess a rackulator won't work on a picture?

Thanks Jim.! After seeing that collection I couldn't help but brag you up a bit, I am a total Coues Amateur compared to what I saw

Since quail season is just around the corner, I was kicking around the idea to see if anyone might want to have a quail hunt, get together, sometime this fall, maybe out in the Willow Springs area or????? Anyone interested?

Thats awesome. Looks like you guys got a good mixed bag of game. Lots of snakes you say I got my snake boots ready for next weekend.

Well gang, I don't know if anyone else was out this way over the weekend, but I decided to wait until next Saturday. It has been real windy this weekend. Any reports from around Tucson?

That was pretty cool. He was telling me the story on that skull picture where the buck just died of old age without anyone getting him.

Seeing all those nice racks makes me really want to get into those unit 27 canyons, 20 days and counting There are some good ones up there, but the warm weather will make it tougher, but I can't wait. Its a big'in or nothing for me. Like you said, we will have to talk Jim into having the party down there next year.

Thats a nice bull. I bet the young man was excited on that deal. Was that his first bull?

Casey has that new "Chupacabra" this year. Looks like a pretty accurate rifle.

My wife is dog sitting for some friends this weekend, so I am going to stick closer to the house. I will be about 5-6 miles south of my house where we took the quad ride at the July party. My dog has an eye infection from a scratch and I have to give her drops at least a couple times during the day. otherwise I would be out to Willow Springs instead.

Man thats awesome. I can't wait to do that someday.

Welcome back. Hope life has been good to you. look forward to your future posts.

Thanks for sharing a great story and pictures. It sounds like you had a great time with good people in a great place. But the hard part is having to come back and deal with all of us knuckleheads I can't wait for the day to be able to spend 2 weeks in elk camp and enjoy that time in the woods during September.

I saw a picture of a huge lion taken in British Colombia many years back that they said was around 250lbs. but I have never heard of or seen pictures of anything bigger than that.

Thats funny. The name sounded familiar, I just couldn't place it.

I think I would spoil my underwear if I ever saw a bull that big

As long as its a free ranging bull, taken by fair chase, that is all that matters. It is certainly a monster. Those big bulls must have some serious neck muscles to carry around all that bone.

How did the bull aquire the name "Ron Burgandy". Just curious.?
