So my sons and I have been lucky enough to pull deer tags in NM this year (specifically unit 32..i also got an elk tag in 34)...
anyway, my middle son and I have spent the last few Fridays with ONX trying to ride the highways and byways of our county roads, trying to figure out our way to get back to the state and BLM land we hope to hunt at the end of October and it's getting pretty frustrating.
Roads that look like they should be county roads, often confront us with "NO TRESPASSING" signs and the name of ranching operations.
We've phoned the regional game office and we've been treated kindly and funneled off to local game wardens to keep suggested new routes...that are still no good.
We're going to keep trying, but it's not looking good.
Now we've still got time but I'm wondering if this is a common occurrence for other hunters out there. We're really looking forward to this hunt and with one of my sons leaving for the military in the new year, this hunt is really important to us as a father/son milestone.
Just really frustrating as I'm not trying to hunt on this privately owned land, simply trying to transit through to get to clearly public land.
