Looking like an average to above average year depending on which part of 21. https://cals.arizona.edu/climate/misc/monsoon/NM_Monsoon_PercPrecip.png

LAST EDITED ON Feb-12-19 AT 11:53AM (MST)[p]Whole unit is 251K acres and the wilderness portion is ~106K. Wilderness is dark green and non-wilderness FS lands are light green.

Found these in 16B/22 one half mile from the road and 1,000' above it. Would still be a rough pack out given that 1/2 mile.

http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/leftover-deer-javelina-licenses-go-sale-june-21/ Amazed all the rifle javelina hunts sold out. Always had leftovers most years.

For unit 45, this map covers most of the area and is much easier to use than the standard Forest Service maps. http://www.natgeomaps.com/trail-maps/trails-illustrated-maps/new-mexico/santa-fe-truchas-peak You didn't mention your hunting weapon-- rifle hunts later in the season can be pretty...

Gotta draw the tag first, right? Your questions are probably best answered by experience. Buy a Santa Fe Ntl Forest map, and spend a weekend driving around the roads. Park at a trailhead and walk a mile or two in. You'll learn more than on this forum. But if it helps, in 45 I'd be checking...

I guess I read that as applying to only USFWS lands still. My interpretation is this: let's say that the new Valles Caldera preserve as a Park Service property suddenly mandates lead-free ammo. The USFWS "should", under this new order, adopt a lead-free requirement for all USFWS lands within...

Is it all Federal Lands or just USFWS managed? https://www.fws.gov/policy/do219.html "The purpose of this Order is to establish procedures and a timeline for expanding the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle on Service lands, waters, and facilities and for certain types of hunting...

Welcome to New Mexico. You've gotten great advice so far. I'll chip in a few resources regarding public lands. Yes, you can just go out there an enjoy them. BLM typically is the least restrictive, the Forest Service is becoming more restrictive andthe Park service is running nature preserves...

That road is crap, but going slow helps. Back in August I stopped for a broke-down septic pump truck with two flat tires. That was between Silver Creek Divide and Willow Creek. I had pulled over earlier outside of Mogollon to let him go by 'cause he was wanting to drive much faster than I was.

Road is in generally good condition. Haven't had a flat or needed a chainsaw in a while. However, NMDOT is working on rebuilding the road just west of Mogollon so you may encounter delays or closures. I've been through a few times in the last month and I was able to drive right through the...
