    Collective wisdom about hunting NM

    I've never had a bear come at me in NM. I'm more scared of the mountain lions and the methheads or weirdos. All the black bears run when they see you and probably long before you see them.

    New Mexico Unit 18

    I only had an OTC tag for Barbary sheep last year. The years prior I was still learning where the herds are. I've only ever gotten mule deer tags for that area. I've not taken one yet. The country is beautiful and spread out though I've done my due diligence and I'm ready for another tag...

    New Mexico Unit 18

    Congrats on the tag! Follow Pro-mo's advice. It's a tough unit. I've spent a ton of time since i got my first tag for 18. Sadly a sea of red this year. I'll give you some pointers though. There are some elk out there. Get away from the roads. Study any map you can get your hands on, there's...

    Hunting near El Paso, TX

    All the mountains east of hueco are state land. Get some paper maps and use something like OnX or Western Hunting maps. Public land is sprinkled through the area. Stay off military land and private and you should be fine. Dove and rabbit are mostly what you'll see. Mulies are around during years...

    New Mexico Javelina

    They're all over. Down here by Hueco Tanks there are quite a few. Sometimes the Oryx venture this far south. Just look for the Nopales that have been chomped on and get your distress call out. Study what their range is and what they eat. Then look for those good pockets with plenty of forage.

    Did you shoot your first deer with open sights?

    Took my uncle for his first ever deer hunt in January for a late season hunt. He uses a 30-30 from his father in law with only iron sites. He took a doe and a spike, both good shots around 80 yards. Nice trip for his first deer ever.

    Tell me i'm not crazy.....

    On my way home, I always drive home the same way and there's a particular park I always pass. I grew up dove hunting and mourning dove are all over the place here, including the ring neck. On my way home in January, I'm looking around because there a short 2nd season for dove. I see a flock of...

    Bird lovers watch in horror as hunter guns down Tundra swan that rarely appears in Florida

    good lord. I'm a bird hunter as well, but damn. There's always a time and place. I've heard guys hunt and eat swans. Do they really taste that good? I won't kill it unless i'm going to eat it, and swans don't look tasty to me....lol

    Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge hogs

    I did spot and stalk and I also have a small deployable blind. Do yourself a favor, stay in a hotel. Pack some coolers. I quartered it and finished up at home. Tip: make sure the meat is as clean as possible, leave in the coolers and drain water daily and add new ice on top. I do this for about...
