The whole reason we are able to hunt is through court litigation. The precedent of states setting hunting regulations, for animals in their state, has been set all the way up to the USSC. So now that you have a chance to set precedent for all future hunters, you don't want to. The only ones that can litigate a case are injured parties, the vast majority has not been injured so we can't speak up. If I really wanted to hunt someplace and been double crossed like this, my passion would have me fighting tooth and nail with everything in my arsenal. Then again that is just me and my passion for hunting. I would think the thought of litigation and negative PR would help with some persuasion to get what was promised to me. You don't want to so that is fine.

If you do have the e-mails, and depending on what Mr. Murphy's authority is, you have breech of contract, both verbal and written. If you have what you say you have, you need a lawyer talking for you. One letter may be the grease to get the wheels moving.

What did? The fact it closed at 5 PM MDT instead of midnight?

NM deadline was yesterday at 5 PM

You might have the NM results before AZ but I doubt it. My NM app was in two days after they opened the draw. Just put my daughter in and she is swinging for the fences. If she doesn't draw we will get her a youth encouragement hunt.

My results came up like this: 0% left wing 0% right wing 100% BREAST

Wonder if this thread will get to 10 pages before anything starts showing up. You all are lucky as our draw closes tomorrow at 5 and then I have to wait a month for results. Well I am lucky as we have a definite date for results. I know I am going deer hunting and my daughter will go elk hunting. I just have to know about my elk tag and where the daughter is hunting. At least this keeps me entertained.

I usually have to buy four maps because everywhere I hunt is right on the corner of those four maps.That is why I am happy with services where I can print my own maps to avoid that. Almost as good as Forlorn Hope is I have the complete book of quadrangle maps for NM from the early 70's that were issued to all NMSP officers.

That is a nice looking rig for anybody.

Sounds like a great hunt.

They run because they were once trained........See the red flag next is the BOOM!

It would but I am afraid of what else it might take care of. Lead poisoning can be more selective and controlled. Correct. But it is also loud and can pinpoint location as well. You never know who's in the woods..... That is why you have to think before you act.

Awesome. Takes me back 16 years as my oldest daughter was born on 1-20-00. Trust me enjoy every day as it goes by way too fast. I didn't feel old until my daughter started getting mailing from colleges.

Now that was funny. I also like the video I saw on youtube about what hunting with women is like.

It is going to be interesting to see how the Supreme Court changes. Today Justice Scalia was found dead in Texas. Huffington Post, USA Today, CNN.com all reporting. Apparently he died in his sleep. The next President of the United States will probably get to appoint three other Justices and this one if it gets past before the election and inauguration. Waiting to see what happens and I feel sorry for the family of Justice Scalia.

I have been bow hunting for 2 years now. With a rifle or ML I don't get excited until after the shot. Not so with a bow, a cow elk at 20 yards had me shaking worse than when I shot my first deer. I only wish I had started archery about 20 years ago but I was loving ML hunting so much. I will go back to rifle when I can't pull a bow anymore.

I swear I saw this truck going through Albuquerque. I was trying to give a big thumbs up out the window, I think the driver thinks I was a tree hugging bunny lover giving the middle finger to him. He sped up and since I was in my Hyundai I couldn't catch up.

I misread the title. I accidentally put a R in dunk and was going to comment "I'M IN!"

Yep. My Mulies don't have eye guards they have brow tines. I even have one that only has one brow tine so he must be a hybrid as well, but I didn't find a battery in him.

I'm not sure this makes sense but say the application date for a hunt is March 1st and the hunt is Oct. 1st. If the child turns 10 before March 1 you can buy point only. If the child is 9 at the application deadline, March 1st but will be 10 before the hunt, Oct. 1 they can apply for the hunt but not just the point. If they are unsuccessful drawing then they have the point. If the child is 9 at the application deadline, March 1, but won't be 10 by the hunt deadline, Oct. 1, then they can't put in for the hunt or point. That is the way I see it, but I have been wrong before.

I would help if I could but every time I get a turkey tag, no turkeys. See them plenty when it is not season. I am just wondering if the snow over in unit 9 is going to melt before April.

Then I get to be the first double d-bag as my card has already been hit. That is how it works over here though, our draw doesn't close until March 23rd and sometime in mid-April I either get money back or get to print a tag. The nice thing is I know I will draw a deer tag and just have to wait on the elk results.

I have an Ameristep Doghouse blind and not what you are looking for. Woks great for rifles and ML but not big enough for bow hunting. You can't stand to shoot and sitting I am barely looking over the window so the top of my bow doesn't hit the roof.

If it a prized possession I would not shoot turkey loads through it. My sister has my great uncles L.C. Smith 20 ga. side by side with ejectors from around the same era (earlier just not sure on the date) so I can't read all the markings on it. The only time I used it turkey hunting was when we could buy a deer, bear, fall turkey license for $10.50. I just had number 5 shot in a regular 2 3/4" length. Why risk shooting it when you can buy a regular turkey shotgun for under $300? I can understand the sentiment of using it but you will have to decide if it is worth it.
