Title: Trophy NM bull poached
Post by: boneaddict on September 18, 2013, 09:22:43 AM: I got a memo today(I'm at work and cant upload pic). HOLY MOLY what a gorgeous bull. He has killer 3rds that are unreal. Can anyone snag it or have seen it to post to share. What a gorgeous critter. :(

Post by: Elkbow33 on September 18, 2013, 09:52:32 AM: This happens quite a bit in New Mexico. When I was guiding down there you would hear about it quite a bit. We would have 2 or 3 illegally shot on our ranches every year(fair chase, not high fence). What a shame!!! :bash: :bash: :bash:

Post by: Eli346 on September 18, 2013, 04:06:45 PM: I was stationed at Ft. Bliss in El Paso, Tx for a while. We did a hunt on some BLM land up in New Mexico near Rio Dosa for mule deer. We came around a corner up there and found a huge gut pile and the head of a Hereford bull next to the road! I wonder if they tagged it? :chuckle:
