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.
