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.
