Love the content!!! I got here after hearing your podcast on this hunt. I took a deep dive into the NM harvest data for GMU 9. This is the Mt. Taylor herd. State of NM population estimate is 700-3500 Elk....25 Bulls:100 Cows/Calf ratio. Sustainable harvest is 40-100 bulls for the heard and 0 cows(makes sense as it sounds like the heard has been decimated). Crazy thing is.....417 Tags where issued through the state draw that where ES or MB(217 ES the rest MB). There were 2 cows reported killed through public draw (2 more than sustainable for the heard) and there were 53 bulls reported killed through public draw (half of sustainable harvest) Now comes the private land part of the unit. 177 Private land tags issued....68MB, 11A, 98ES. Out of these 177 tags, 98 bulls and 10 cows where reported killed. (By the way....this was with an average of only 64% of private tag holders reporting!!!!) At the end of the day....USO on the Floyd Lee potentially harvested more than what the state of NM claims as being sustainable to herd viability. Another interesting tidbit is private land tags (that reported...could be higher) had a 59% success rate. Draw tag holders had a whopping 12.9% success rate. Last note. in 2021 Floyd Lee Ranch had 115 land owner issued tags. All where (from what I can gather) 65 MB and 50 archery ES tags....All Ranch Only. Now they could have had other land owner tags provided under different owners or names... I just know that these 115 tags where issued for Floyd Lee and only mentioned 70,415 elk occupied acres. We all know Floyd Lee consist of way more than that. I just didn't have a way to break down the other 62 land owner tags. At any rate...It's a bunch of gobly gook if you just skim over it...but if you read it and take it in....It kinda makes your hunt down there make sooooo much more sense. Not to mention the elk numbers. basically you where hunting a decimated herd that was being corralled onto private land to become more decimated. I say "F" USO. My skin in this is I used to be stationed at Kirtland AFB in the early 90's .....GMU 9 was always 2 or 3 on our draw selection. Obviously (even back then) the Gila was king. But 9 was close to the base and most guys that got drawn there and could hunt.....killed good bulls.

These are the kinds of things that pisses NM hunters off. It is already difficult to draw a tag, but then you are constantly hearing that these outfitters are getting away with bullshit. They should not be allowed to lure in herds of elk to private land just so they can get at them with their tags. I personally think outfitters should not be able to guide on public land AT ALL, with landowner tags. It is completely unfair.

He started really backtracking when he realized you were going to call actual law enforcement - embarrassed for him….. And there was nothing wrong with that shot - anyone who bow hunts long enough has shots like that go wrong - the keyboard warriors who haven’t been in the game very long don’t realize that until it happens to them.

Father in law use to tell me stories of hundreds of elk in the herds in that exact location, that main road that leads to the floyd lee up in 9. Last year in October 2022 would see elk come out on the back of trucks the day before the season started, and planes flying around dropping cherry bombs out of them to break up the herds and push them back onto the ranch.

Great job on not stopping when you have people that are trying to destroy your hunt like USO OUTFITTERS. It stinks, losing the bull, but that is hunting. It's not perfect hunting wild animals. I give you credit for sharing this with us. I would love to help you out anytime in Colorado. We love hunting elk, and it doesn't get any better. We are blessed to be able to hunt in God's country.

@williamchristy3063 4 ай бұрын

I am so glad you have exposed the underhanded shenanigans practiced by shady outfitters! This same problem is wide-spread! The G&F offices need to pull the outfitter's license in addition to a hefty fines. Until that happens, they will continue to do what they do.

@allisonhendricks8364 2 жыл бұрын

Being from NM I can honestly say that outfitters land owner’s and the game and fish are one the biggest problems with hunting in this state. Game and fish set aside tags for outfitters and ranchers more tags then are available to the common hunter in the draw. The preference is given to the rich. It’s pretty much impossible for me to get my 10 year old son permission to hunt on private land (if he even draws a tag) because I can’t pay the big bucks.

I hunted here this year too.. I don't hunt close to the ranch but This ranch needs to lose land.. or "lease" rights.. maybe/hopefully prison time would be nice. They have decimated the elk population and it won't recover without assistance. This was my first year trying again hoping the last 8 years it would have recovered some... not at ALL. Are you still communicating with the warden? Or the office? How can we the viewers help here? Nothing will change unless we force it. That unit needs elk reintroduced. No reason it can't be a trophy unit.

Thanks for showing the bad ones guys. This year was my first year ever hunting. Without a hunting partner or father to teach me it’s been rough. After 3 long days of no sleep hunting. I ended up shooting and killing a doe. The shot was quartering away and my arrow went inside behind the back rib and up through the front shoulder. My mistake was chasing immediately after it. I had only ever hunted pheasants before and always thought you were supposed to put it out of its misery as soon as possible. After loosing the blood trail I didn’t give up on finding it and actually asked a 70+ year old lady and husband to help. Turns out it died around the corner and was in brush so thick that it was impossible to see until you stepped on it. Unfortunately, it was so hot that it was already decaying and being eaten by other animals and nothing was harvestable. We can’t control everything to make it perfect but we can control ourselves. I wanted to quit hunting but instead decided that next year I’m loosing weight so I won’t get tired as quickly, getting a better sleep system so I’ll be awake and alert when hunting instead of exhausted, and doing something every single week to learn a little bit more about being a better hunter. They are a living creature that we are killing. We owe them our utmost respect in life and in death.

Great video guys. I was hunting unit 9 same time as you. Sept 15-19. Heard one bull bugle, and never saw a single elk for the 5 days I hunted. You’re right, it’s a hard unit now. In the early 2000’s there were elk everywhere in that unit. Then they just started getting hunted out. I always hunted it with a rifle. After I last hunted there probably 2012 I said I’d never go back. Then this year rolled around and thought I’d give it a try with a bow in the peak of the rut… and bust. Probably not putting in for that unit again. Sorry you had that experience in my home state. Most units aren’t like that with the landowners. But… I have heard those rumors about those guys also. I hope this video gets out to the right people and the game and fish are able to do something about it. Thank you again, God bless, and hunt safe.

Had a similar situation hunting muley's this fall. Buck surprised me and I missed the close shot, but he checked up and offered a longer second shot. I took it, hit him back, and had to track him for a couple hours before putting him down. Thought about my decision to take a low probability shot the entire drive home. Still not sure what I would do if presented with the same scenario again. Keep the content coming!

Real challenges of elk hunting. This reminds me that though many of us focus on the physical aspect of training, the mental strength is just as important, if not more so. The ability to overcome all of the adversity is what makes ELK hunting truly unique and special! It's tough to train for the disappointment of the wind switching last minute, the competition of other hunters messing up your hunt (accidental or intentional), and that wondering in your mind when you just can't seem to find the elk! Anyway, what I'm saying is that remember that the mental toughness is part of what makes ELK hunting what it is! If it wasn't so hard, everyone would do it! Dan and team do a great job at staying positive and focused no matter what and that is what makes them more successful than most! Thanks for the REAL DEAL Elk adventure! Looking forward to whatever is next!

When I hunted we had old style compounds had 60 targets different angles all thru woods with a running deer on cable. Stuck arrow in arrow at 100 yards twice still only took 30 yard shots at most to much can happen and not worth it to wound and not find

Really appreciate showing the grind. We have issues with outfitters locally that do what they please all for the sake of money. Thank you for showing that not hunts end the way we want them but we do all that we can to give the animals the respect they deserve.

Amazing footage, and it’s humbling to see the best in the world still have setbacks and failures. The big difference is you are willing to put your pride and heart on the line and share it with us. A lot of people would have deleted the footage. 🙌

Appreciate you guys showing all the footage. Doesn't always end how we want. Thanks for doing the right thing and helping out those hikers also. Too many people dont go out of their way to help others. Better luck on future adventures guys.

Great series Dan. For sure the kinda guys I want to be in camp with. Guys that put themselves second for the success of the entire group. Those are the kinda people that will test your physical limits to the max to help them succeed. Dean

That was so freaking good! You have a natural ability to tell amazing stories. Both with your dialog and your video editing. Thanks for the inspiration! T-minus 8 months and counting for me!

Awesome video guys. Sucks you didn't find him that is tough. Thanks for exposing Floyd Lee and there sketchy stuff they do. I don't hunt near there fence for that reason. I recognize a bunch of your spots you went and during that first hunt some of those are good spots. That fence and area you guys go into at the end to get your shot I recognize very well. Unit 9 is rough and you got to really work to find them.

Nice video, I also saw the video part 1. I will have to say I’m pretty disappointed that you didn’t go back to your first spot and confront the guy again after talking to game warden, then return with that said warden to get something done about the situation. I’m a public hunter and a lot of the time it’s expensive for us to hunt as well. No it doesn’t cost 10k, but I can almost guarantee that most public land outfitter hunters can afford that hunt more then I can afford a public hunt!!! I understand it ain’t right to hunt on someone’s property and don’t. I was just hoping to see something done about it, I’ve seen that BS on a couple occasions. Y’all kept your cool a lot better then I would that’s for sure.
