[QUOTE="sesh, post: 1560313, member: 9014"] I guess after reading my post it sounded like I had a suck time but I really didn't. I love hunting, "successful" or otherwise. I would go back there in a second if I ever draw out again. However, starting next year, I heard NM is making it tougher for nonresident's to draw out unless they go through the guide sponsored drawing. I'll still put in but not for a guided hunt. We hunted unit 34 down in the southeast part of the state, it was great and if the weather cooperated I think we would have all filled our tags. I'm giving Colorado a shot for the first time this year, we're buying over the counter and we'll see how it goes. The group I hunt with is a fun group so we always have a good time. I grew up hunting Montana but due to the predator situation up there, numbers have come down quite a bit, I only put in for mule deer tags up there now. There's still some great elk hunting but it's tough to draw a good tag for a good area and they need to work on their drawing system some before I'll put in as a nonresident for elk again. I don't know about anyone else, but I prefer DIY, that way, whether you fill your tag or not, the only one you have to blame is yourself and your experience is what you make of it. Then you don't have a guide or an outfitter to blame:) No matter what way you decide, the first time you see one up close and personal, you'll be hooked for life, good luck! [/QUOTE]
