I heard there's elk in New Mexico.
How would I go about finding a elk?
Whats the best way to call an NM elk? Do I need to speak Spanish?
And how do I tell what their political preferences are so I can watch out for the liberal ones? You guys make those ones seem pretty bad.

Depends on what part of the state you're in. NW it is a good idea to know a little Navajo, Southern Ute, and Apache.
As far a political preferences, the mangy looking ones are (D).

Unfortunately the ones doing most of the breeding are the liberals.

The movie idiocracy, though stupid as hell and hard to watch, drives home the reality of stupid people over breeding while more intelligent/ successful people reproduce less.

They will be the ones protesting and spewing vile comments, it'll be easy pickens, they will walk right out in front of you daring you to do it!

A buddy of mine shot a bull in NM last year and I think it was a Liberal. In fact he named it his Hillary bull because it was big on the bottom and small on top :^)

I've seen bulls that were gender neutral. They won't respond to a bugle or cow call and just walk away...

I did shoot a bearded hen while turkey hunting in NM this year. I normally don't shoot hens but this one identified as a gobbler. So who am I to judge? BOOM!!!

I'm not sure about the rest of the state but the bulls in the Gila are pure American. Tough, loud and ready to kick your ass.

Jack, those are the Santa Fe bulls. They also rub their antlers down to nothing and mew during the rut.

Don't be dissing my Gila bulls. We've been fighting it out for about 20 years and I have great respect for them. Now Santa Fe, nothing good ever came out of Santa Fe. Just sayin.

The bulls in Valle Vidal are like the Gila bulls, so I guess not all of them have an identity crisis.

HDE was waiting in his truck the night I packed my bull out of the VV. He was there to help us out the next day so can I rub it in that I got to hunt it too? Lol did I mention that I hunted the VV? I might have forgotten that part

Legend has it if you wear a flat brim it's like a magnet effect. It's supposedly the only way to call a bull in now. I saw it on YouTube.

If you wear a flat brim hat make sure your ears are tucked in it and you have to say dude and bro a lot

It's got to be challenging to step over logs wearing your pants down low while wearing a flat brim hat.
