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

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.
