Hunted NM Unit 15 3rd season for elk, came up empt handed. Pursued two 340+ elk all week, passed on several opportunities for some smaller 6x6's with the hope of taking one of the larger trophy's. Great hunt for DIY'ers if you are lucky enough to draw a tag.

Check out the mule deer general page and scroll down to WOW factor buck. I also posted a couple more pics on the archery page under CO monster muley.

Hubby had a California Archery Only tag ( open to hunting any non-draw zone)...hunted all archery season, once in A zone and then a bunch in D3-5...no dice...tag can be used all the way through general season, and he finally tagged a buck on the last day of the season for the year (October 31st). Nice big 3.5 year old forked horn blacktail hybrid in zone D4...field dressed around 135 pounds. Since that was the only tag he had purchased, he went 1 for 1 :)
