Just got this in my email. Oh boy, a week away from 7 days hunting in NM. Unit 58. Can't wait to beat the heat, hang out with good friends and get the heck off the ranch before the craziness of whitetail season begins. The bull in the picture was photographed on the same ranch last season and he was not killed.

I saw the video of that bull. There is a hunter literally feet away from that bull on the right in the bushes. He couldn't get a shot before the bull busted him.

On our way home from Dolores, CO. Group of six men, came home with 2 cows and 1 4x5 Bull off San Juan NF. I took the bull with a heart shot at 40 yards. I'll post pics and story when I get home. Saw a ton of bears and should have picked up a bear tag.
Good luck to those on their way up to thin air.

Congrats Sackett!
Good luck drube75!
In the Gila, run and gun in the mornings sit water in the evenings. Sitting water may not be that fun, but it's probably the best way to kill a BIG bull there.
Good luck sleeping. With this full moon they will probably be screaming all night. Take ear plugs!
