We have had a good season in the sense that every time it has started to dry out, we have gotten a little rain to keep the grass going. As a unit we have not been dumped on with running water everywhere filling all tanks, but, there have been some heavy thunderstorms here and there. Still a lot of rainy season left though.

Well added up rain for July and we got 3.3" at my place, fire danger is low and antler growth looks to be good. Will post some pics soon.

Socorro got 4" in July and some remote watering tanks I visit have filled back up in the Magdalenas and San Mateos. Should be a good year for 17 and 13.

Was down in the Gila last week and got a little over 2" in one downpour very green everywhere.

0.8 inches of rain in central NM in all of June and July added together. Very dry. Not good for the antelope in area.

Some places in the SW NM/Gila area have gotten lots of rain so far. The surrounding area is still a bit patchy green in places,with others greener than they have been in years.
I got a couple inches in July. Some here got 4" in a couple hrs,more than once.
Several roads have washed out in Catron & Grants county....2 more months of monsoon to come. Bring it on we say.

I have heard the wolf problem has gotten way worse.I have seen more than ever. Folks that live here losing cattle weekly. Several folks say Elk have moved out of 16a,with no calves left in the herds that are there.One guy said he saw no elk on the BarT in the last couple weeks.He has a portable lumber mill in the area,lived here his whole life.
With the deer herds decimated,the elk & cattle are the target now.
NM G&F had better figure out a plan or we will lose our large Gila elk herds.

crazeymaez · Aug 2, 2017

Yeah we saw lots of cows that no longer had calves.

When will we ever learn... :-(

It is the FEDERAL Govt who has released these wolves.The NMDGF is trying to work with them but what MOST NM residents don't understand is the Feds DO NOT HAVE TO ASK for permission to release wolves.The NMDGF is well aware of the problems wolves create but also understand there is a balance in working with the Federal Government.Its a tuff crappy deal , I feel for those ranchers who are losing out on revenue to their lifestyle and family well being, and all the horror stories of elk wipeouts in Idaho and Yellowstone , well hell yes its scary! Unfortunately the wolf recovery program has grabbed traction and its now a fight in the making.

mozey · Aug 2, 2017

I get it, Rio. It takes the Feds to hose up a good thing this badly. But then, we're the ones the voted them into office, so I guess we're just as much to blame. At least the moonbats among us won't have to worry about hitting a deer with their Prius.
