GRONG Report post Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Jeff, ya man I was right across the canyon to the north. But just like when we all went there we didn't see jack squat then either, other than a couple I guess. Heck I'm pretty sure on our trip we saw 5 lions in 3 days, 4 one morning! That was more than twice the number of bucks we saw on that hunt..... Sad but true. Nice buck. Looks alot like the one you killed years and years ago when we went there. congrats.

4Falls Report post Posted January 1, 2011 Yep that was the year of the lion over there for sure. Still one of the funnest hunts, I think we spent more time laughing then hunting. Had a mulie tag over there about 3 years ago and saw 7 different bears. Including 4 in one canyon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

audsley Report post Posted January 3, 2011 OK, I'll bite. What's a "non-burro" Coues? And is there such a thing as a "burro" Coues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFGinNM Report post Posted January 3, 2011 OK, I'll bite. What's a "non-burro" Coues? And is there such a thing as a "burro" Coues? Unit 23 has a portion, or sub-unit that includes the Burro Mts. To hunt that area you have to draw a different license. --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatfootdoc Report post Posted January 9, 2011 NIce buck!!, I quit hunting in 23 due to the number of lions there seemed to be and the fact that the WT numbers seemed to drop every year. When I first moved to NM in 2001 there seemed to be a much better population of deer on both the N and S side of the Mule creek Rd. ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NMbowhuntr Report post Posted February 8, 2011 Nice buck sorry you had such a bad couple of hunts in 23. The Lion population is outof control. There were two killed on the highway between Silver and Lordsburg in November. We had the occasion of killing one and seeing two others from our tree stands two years ago.
