Default RE: New Mexico Unit 16A......help!!

I heard good if you are a client. Bad if you are a guide who worked for them or a average joe who hunts in the same public land. I suppose all the guides are not like the one i came across. I went out there with a friend and saw some AWSOME bulls. not a whole lot but a few huge 7x7 to boot. My buddy came back with a 260 bull. saw many bigger but we were there the first season and all the good water holes are hogged up by the outfitters. I wont tell you were we were, because you are going with USO, thats there job, but in reality your on public land and you could have did just as good without them, and hunted more days. But then again because of USO you wont draw a tag going by yourself because they feel they have more right to be on that federal land than the average joe does and lobbied to hog most of the nonres tags.
