And a big thanks to @Big Fin and the guys at GoHUNT for all the podcasts so I have something to listen to on the drive home to keep me from going crazy.
And enjoying a few obligatory post hunt beers. This stuff is pretty good.
Gonna finish the drive back north to the land of ice and snow tomorrow. Wife will
Be happy I’m home a few days early. Especially considering that my buddy didn’t drop off any flowers for Valentine’s Day like I had asked...
Tried the allsups burritos post hunt on the recommendation of @Benfromalbuquerque. I was pleasantly surprised. They are just the right size to apply hot sauce on while holding them between your legs while NB outta Roswell.
Thursday 2-15 Recap
I pulled myself outta my tent early this morning and was headed into the BLM at 5am with a plan to get about 1.5 miles in and be on my planned glassing knob before legal shooting light at 6:10am. Headed up the first big incline, my headlamp went from strong to the light...

Happy Valentine’s Day. Hopefully my buddy picked up some flowers and delivers them to my wife or I might be in the dog house!
Switched spots today to a place I had marked on OnX and had been pointed to by some fellow HuntTalk members. It looks good. You can get into...
Into the new spot and glassing. Pair of guys from WY on the ridge over but I’m happy there was only one truck at this spot. I was afraid there’d be half a dozen. Single access point to a big chunk of BLM surrounded by private with a lot of ridges. Fingers crossed I turn something up in here in...
Recap Tuesday 2-13
Only about 7 miles round trip today. Tried to spend more time behind the glass today than yesterday. I definitely glasses up more animals, including two muley bucks, about 10 muley does, and a few elk way off in the distance, just for @cgasner1 But no Barbary sheep. Gonna go...
2nd glassing spot of the day. No Barbary spotted yet but have turned up some mule deer. Trying to spend lot more time glassing today than hiking. If nothing else, it’s more enjoyable.
Recap from Monday 2-12
Hard day. 11 miles round trip and didn’t see a single Barbary sheep but I had low expectations. Did glass up a big forky mule deer buck. And flushed two coveys of quail. Got 5.5 miles into the public playing the boundary line game only to glass up two guys another 1.5...
A lot of country to look over. No Barbary spotted yet but I’ve flushed some quail and glasses up a monster forky mule deer. No phoneSkope so no pic, sorry.
Quail tracks, I think.
Grabbed a motel for the night. Gonna hit the ground running in the morning. Hopefully the roads dry out some and the snow melts off or it might get dicey trying to get into where I want tomorrow. Spent a few hours driving around the unit this afternoon. Some good looking country, just a matter...
