My son and I headed to southern NM this weekend for a quick javie hunt. Luckily we were going to hit it just right witht the weather just warming up after a ridiculously cold week.
Started off the morning by seeing this group of turkeys, and actually calling these three dumb jakes to the truck. Didn't even have a call. Just clucked at them and they strutted in. I don't find any that stupid during the season.
After a long hike that morning and coming up empty, we were walking towards the truck when my boy said "Coati Mundi!!!". There were 8 or 9 of them sitting up in a tree watching us. While I guess they're fairly common in SW New Mexico, I had never seen them before. Strange little animals.
We tried a different spot that afternoon, and right away spotted a herd. We got within 50 yards and I picked out the biggest boar in the group. One tag filled, and we went looking for the herd again. Unfortunately we could never get back on them.
Fun, but quick hunt.
