Well i did it!
 

As sickening as it was, i sold my 54 GPR i got in trade about a month ago.

Going to my brother in laws tomorrow and we'll be filing together for new mexico mule deer tags!

My first out of state draw so i dunno how it will be. If i dont draw, i get my $$$ back around june some time.

If i get this tag, im going for a SS-Camo Thumbhole Optima just for this hunt!

There are some monsters up there, including white tail so we'll see if i get lucky with a tag. They only offer 15 for this unit.

What area in NM ?, when i lived in Durango in the early 80's., there were some monsters there also..

Capulin area. Its about 30 minutes north east of Raton.

It is your rifle, but I find it strange how fast you buy and sell rifles. I guess they just don't last long around your place. At least you had it nice looking and I am sure it got a good price.

Good luck on your draw.

oh i know, i am bad like that LOL. Its just hard to shoot them all when my Optima is my favorite right now.

Until the wind changes :wink:

Being that you are just west of Nebraska you might look there to hunt mulies. You don't have to draw and the tag is only $220 with the habitat stamp.

does nebraska have public land though?

Almost none, i hunted there a few years back.great place and very nice people, just not much public land. Ray

well i did my application today. $295 total, i'll be pissed if i just just a fork horn LOL.

We know a lot of good area's for big bucks, including whitetail bucks so i think i'll get quite a few chances at big bucks.
