Anyone who has hunted unit 9 NM knows how far it has fallen due to mismanagement and the ole Floyd Lee helicopter. Thanks to a YouTuber Elk shape.. he caught these ppl lying out of their asses about state land being his own hunting lease.
My family has hunted 9 for a combined 100+ years. Father’s, son’s, aunts, uncles, Cousins, friends and now grandsons. It’s horrible what is has become. This unit needs to be shut down.. elk reintroduced and the state needs to take back ownership of the land from these ranches that have been stolen from the public. Even go as far as taking away his cattle leasing rights. Game and fish and BLM management needs to pay active attention to get this unit strong again and the ranch owner needs to be held accountable so the herd can actually repopulate. They definitely need to reintroduce elk into the unit. You can hike for 2 weeks in archery season and never see an elk where in years past you could walk a mile in any direction and bump elk.
Watching this video you’ll see two things.. 1- These hunters got home-boy’d badly. As New Mexicans.. we need to do better. This is embarrassing. Yes, this happens everywhere but I hate seeing shitty posts about our state let alone my favorite unit. No matter where you are in life (Matt Rinella’s post) it never feels good to see an out of state truck or even in state trucks parked at our fav spot and our best units advertised all over the internet but this just puts more bad light on our state.and number 2 I hope enough ppl and the right ppl see this video to put an end to the Floyd Lee era for unit 9.
