Nada Grande Outdoors Podcast

We heavily advocate for hunters to unite around common causes, however sometimes you also have to just call Bulls***. This week we do just that. The NMWF and NMBHA have significant influence with the current Game Commission and key members of the New Mexico Legislature and are leading the charge to implement some drastic rule changes that would have a negative impact on hunters in New Mexico and New Mexico's wildlife. They are pushing to double the cost of a Habitat Stamp that is required to hunt, fish and trap on Federal lands. Additionally they want to discard the current E-Pus system and make New Mexico more like neighboring states. Their vision for elk hunting in our state has far reaching, unintended consequences that we believe have not been properly addressed.  

This week we got a chance to collaborate on a podcast with another local NM podcast producer and long time elk hunter Joe Giglia of Elk Bros and the Blue Collar Elk Hunting podcast. Joe has been hunting elk (mainly with a bow) for the past 39 years on public land. He has an amazing ability to close the deal and bring home meat for the freezer and has killed bulls 37 of those 39 years using the New Mexico public land draw system. He is also an awesome teacher and has built an online elk academy to share his knowledge. We talk elk hunting, draw systems, and coaching styles to boost success.

Adult onset hunters helping create new adult onset hunters is a really cool thing. It is what Hunt It Forward is all about. Kyle and I were very fortunate to sit down with Jen Judge and Aaron Gulley to talk about their journey into the world of hunting. 

This week we talk some trash and talk about social media relationships and hunt preparations. Come check it out.

Kyle and I are digging into the effects that the changes to the A-PLUS system have had on the herd. We are taking a look at the numbers from last years harvest and what they mean. Come check it out. 

Change is not always good. If you do want to advocate for change at least get your facts right. Some people are calling for a change to the E-PLUS system. Kyle and I talk this week about Why this is a bad idea. Come check it out.
