what boots are you using this year?

what boots are you using this year?

Lowa Tibets again...I have thought about trying Schnee's Beartooth which has a less stiff sole(you may be the one that got me thinking about that). I have also considered biting the bullet and getting custom Hanwags from Lathrop and Sons. 6 bills is a chunk for boots though.

The Asolo were backups which I never needed.

Have you tried the Zamberlan boots?
I tried on some Vioz 1009, plenty of room in the toe box and the best heel cup over found yet. I will be getting some Vioz 1009 soon.
I actually didn't like the Schnees, too tight and rubbed my foot all wrong.

I've got some Asolo 520 that I like a lot hoping to put some colorado dirt under them in september

What model of Schnee's? The Lowa's are great boots and I have no problem but the heel slip....I have heel regardless of what boot I have used. Vasque, Asolo, Kenetrek and Lowa. I am considering consulting a Podiatrist. I now think I have some sort of structural weirdness with my heel. If I mole skin and or duct tape I am fine but if the tape fails, like in NV last year, it gets pretty bad.

When are you going?

I am the same as you if I dont draw then I am buying a tag, either way I will be hunting the second season.

I will be hunting the 3rd season in NM and if I draw AZ i will start hunting there around the 12th and go to NM from there. I cant wait! Have you hunted 16a before?

[ShockValue]

New Mexico deadline is 3/20.

I filled mine out this morning. Now the wait starts.

[elkbowhunter]

Well I have a guided elk hunt in CO for next Sept already paid for! I guess I need to start working out a little to get in shape for the mtns. Last time I was up there it was no problem but that was about 5yrs ago and I am not getting any younger.

Yep...good plan Bisch. If you dont, you will die a slow death.

I will start mine next week. I imagine we will have 6 or 7 in camp at different times through the 22day season.

I put in for 17 second archery season. Hopefully I'll draw, kill a monster then tag another monster last week of co season

[ladrones]

I probably won't put in for anything this year. To many issues last season. Kind of turned off a bit.

[KMock]

We are planning an archery elk/deer/bear hunt to S CO innSept. Still comparing 78, 751, 74, 73, 71. Might apply in NM as well. I will have client hunters on private ground around NM & CO, but I've got a high country DIY itch I need to scratch! Can't wait to get back in elk country.

I tried two different models of Schnees, a hiker and a 9-10" model, didn't like either one.

I have got to get my application in ASAP and have never done it before. I have read the NMGF several times and I can't figure out what I HAVE to fill out/apply for and what I don't have to fill out/apply for. I already have a CIN from when I purchased a landowner tag, but have never put in for the draw. Can anyone give me a simple explanation of what particular links/applications I need to complete my draw application? I thought NMGF only hit you for about a $20-$25 fee when you applied and then refunded part of it if you didn't draw. From what I am reading they hit you for the full $600 and then refund the $575-$580 if you don't draw (which one is correct?)

Wish I could help you on the application, the outfitter did it for me. I can tell you I was hit for around $850
