You got my tag lol… Just go in the afternoon on the ditch behind Bernardo from about 4:30pm to dark. You will have flights of 10 to 20 nonstop. Last two times it was a ten minute hunt for me.

The Bosque hunt blows away anything else in NM. When my boy had the hunt his problem was getting a clean shot. He had 20 or so toms at five yards when he finally shot. We easily saw 300 or more turkey in one day. Our problem in his hunt was our “guide”. He was anything but a guide. If not for...

I don’t know if this is something to do long term, but I got desperate last year not finding primers so I pulled some from some 3&1/2” 12guage duck loads I had a box of. Cut the shell, dumped the powder, wad and shot, then pushed the primer out with a pencil. Worked just fine for me with BH209...

Yup. I got the same story a couple of days ago. I think we are going to skip it in favor of other areas we know. Kind of hard to justify eleventy-million dollars in gas to drive down there….

Anyone ever hunt the youth turkey on Huey? My boy drew it and I am interested in others experiences. Thanks

Have a funny story about "wolves" in the Gila. Back when they first reintroduced wolves to the Gila me and my buddy were out scouting in August for our September elk hunt. Anyway we were driving down a road in my old Toyota pickup and I look to my left out the driver side window and there is a...

We have ice ready to go in October. No way near as hot as August, but why take the chance if you don’t have to. “Hotel” ice is cheap...

We have had the antelope doe tag twice before and have it again this year. Stay in Clayton. Any hotel there is hunter friendly. The Kokopelli is a good one. It is going to be hot in August. Real hot.

Lol... new bow for my boy....

I am looking at getting a new boy for my 14 year old boy. This will be his first year elk hunting with a bow. Anyone have any suggestions? I have been looking at the Mission Hammr, but open to any quality bow.

If he shoots your 22-250 good keep him on that rifle for practice. When you take him hunting swap out for your 6.5. He won’t even notice the difference with the excitement. My boys have taken 5 cow elk, one bull elk, four antelope, three oryx, and a few stink pigs with thier 6.5 CM rifles. Both...

I can’t say anything about the Crispi boots, but I do own a pair of Kenetrek. I am very, very, disappointed with them. They might as well be made from steel. I have over 200 miles in them and they are as stiff as the day I bought them. Hell if I didn’t know better I would say they are more stiff...

We were in TA 2B.

I figured that was where the sheep were. My boy took his range #2. I forgot which sub unit it was. The one farthest to the north on the NM border. how did you do on the sheep?

Where was the barbary hunt? I assume the mountain range on the east side of the base? We were wondering where it was at.

My boy lucked out and drew a second oryx tag for Ft. Bliss this year. Texas side this time. Talk about luck. Two oryx in one year. Not nearly as many on the Texas side, but we were able to get it done. One shot from the 6.5 at 200 yards and it was a done deal

Purchased three of them for my crews at work that end up in the middle of the mountains or way out in the desert by themselves. Seem to work good. They are able to check in with me and I feel better knowing they can reach me if they get in trouble. They do upload a little slow, but do work.

16C

No, not three bulls. Two cows and this bull. Sorry for the confusion.

Here is a cool picture of my 11 year old son walking up on his first bull (third elk). Here is another couple of pictures of the same bull from last month and a day before the hunt.and finally one of him packing out the rack.

Yup

Got a call in July asking if they wanted the tags. Past that it was fifty thousand government forms to enter Ft. Bliss.

No it was a depredation hunt.

My boys doubled up on oryx this weekend on Ft. Bliss. Fun hunt

Any reports out of 16C? Guessing they are bugling pretty good now. Both of my boys (11 & 13) have tags. Headed out this weekend for our last scouting trip prior to their hunt. Was out for Labor Day weekend, but it was hot and dry. We found one more area not to go to that weekend. Hope to find...

Congrats DYI. It was nice meeting you and your boy at the burger joint in Espanola.

Any suggestions on a tripod and head? I have been looking at the Manfrotto, but I am undecided on the head. I will be mostly spotting from the truck or atv with 18x binoculars so weight is not a huge factor. I would like to keep the cost under $450.

I have a confession to make. I'm one of "those" people that don't have internet....

We defiantly have a major problem that no one seems able to or willing to address. In my opinion a lot of ?us? are the problem. Saying the ?gun grabbers? or ?liberal this or that? is one of the biggest roadblocks to any viable solution. It goes both ways. The other side is screaming ?gun lover...

My boys had doe tags out there last year. The ranch is a little broken up so that makes it a little hard to hunt. Stick to the sections that are to the west and south. Best buck we saw was about 14?, but we were chasing does.

Too funny. My brother-in-law and me were talking about it two weeks ago when we were down there around Deming. My boy did some internet research and they seem to be some sort of kangaroo rat that is native to that area.

Unit 15, 17, or any of the 16s are where you want to be. 16D and 16A would be and are my first and second choice.

Has anyone ever had their kid draw this hunt? One of my boys drew it. Wondering what it is like. Pretty excited for him.
