Very Nice Trophys, Thanks for sharing

Very nice, keep hoping my day will come when I get a nice lion mount

Thought you all might like to see some of the good fortune we had last year, this was 3 days of hunting for me, my 2 sons and a son inlaw

I agree Bill One good American deer hunter is worth AT LEAST five Chinese soldiers. and along with that we would be protecting our homes and familys, they may take us on numbers, but their going to know they have been in a fight............Dan

Good find and post, lots of good comments, pro's and con's, I stand with the pro's, I wouldnt get rid of my swarovski's for em but for the price they are a good alternative.......Dan

This has been my experience with the vmax also, the balistic tip might be a little better about not blowin em up, but not much, if you dont care about the pelt the good side is they usually put em down.......Dan

Very true, you can have everything in the world,but without good health, nothin else really matters. My bro was a good example of that, I would wish everyone good health and happiness.............Dan.

Very nice Dan, keep up the good work I enjoy the pictures........Dan

And your not even going to come up and say good buy and get your christmas presant, I bought you a 7mm08, you have a better that Merry Christmas, and tell your sweet wife howdy for us, call before you leave........Dan

Exactly!!!!

Yeah its been one of my favorite areas for a long time, some years are better then others, this was a good un

+1 Im with you there Bill, with the wet spring there should be some good ones to be had

There are some good bulls here, but I think the Res. still has us beat, like to hunt there sometime, but I could never keep up with you Dan, your way to hard core...lol...................Dan

I have 2 sons and a son in law that use them all the time, I have a pair as my back up pair, the Quality is actually very good for the price, I personally use the Swarovski 15x56, but if that is not in your budget, like my sons for instance, the Brunton Eterna is a very good option.

We hunted U33 2 years in a row 2 years ago and last year, the first year we kicked butt went 4 for 4 and seen lots of deer.The second year with pre season scouting we set a trail camera and got pictures of a big lion on it. Year 2 we went 2 for 4 but wasnt seeing the amount of deer and bucks we saw the previous year. My boys actually saw the lion the 2nd day but had no chance at him, a lion in the area definatly messes up your hunting and can wipe out a buncha deer in a very short time......Dan

Those are some Awesome bucks, congrats a great deer and a good hunt

You are right on the money: found this on line for NM TITLE 19 NATURAL RESOURCES AND WILDLIFE CHAPTER 31 HUNTING AND FISHING PART 10 HUNTING AND FISHING-MANNER AND METHOD OF TAKING E. Possession of game animal parts found in the field: It shall be unlawful to possess heads, horns, or antlers of protected species found in the field without invoice or permit from the department of game and fish, with the exception of obviously shed antlers.

Good quote, im going ta use this one at work!!!

+100...good post Lark

Awesome

I once found a dead head 6x6 300 class bull which I tried to do the right thing and reported it to the G&F, game him the coordinates and he actually took the time to hike 2 miles into the wilderness to check it out, when he got there someone had already removed the head, and he found no evidence of foul play, now I remove them and beg for forgiveness if necessary....

Should of said Thread not threat...my bad

This is so great, it really is Christmas, thanks for the post and link.........Dan

This was an awesome threat with some really great advice for eveyone, now we just need to live it, practice it and incorporate into our hunting .........Dan
