Was it a shotgun harvest? Maybe a BB took some stomach stuff with it. I know you said it wasn't digestive discharge but just a thought. You probably would've found a BB too if that was there case. I know ive harvested a lot of ducks that have "rice breast" and other oddities. At the end of the...
Anyone who has applied for oryx in NM knows it takes years to draw. But NM sets aside 5 tags for each hunt code for returning Iraq/Afghanistan veterans which makes it a little easier to draw. I drew my first year ever applying. Which frustrated quite a few people on the hunt who had been...
Everyday there is more restrictive measures coming out, if you FLY into New Mexico from out of state you are required to self isolate for 14 days. From everything im gathering this situation may get worse before it gets better. Ive heard from 90 days as far out as November before we get closer...
Id second the Wyoming option. Rifle antelope is open in most units during the Columbus day weekend in October. That's how I get to take my high school son on hunting trips. Might need a couple points to get a good unit but with the proper planning you can hunt a zero point area.
I use to shoot Sevr mechanical broadheads, they shoot exactly like field points and no tuning required. Ive harvested a couple of deer with the Sevr with no issue. This year I put an ironwill fixed blade on and was blown away. I harvested a deer and he had his elbow kicked up over his vitals. I...
The meateater crew has some holiday themed shirts I believe. Not the same one you've described though. Still some cool shirts, just Google the name and their website should pop up.
Only time I didn't feel like hunting was after 10 days chasing elk in Colorado putting in 15 plus miles a day. After that I needed a break. But I can't tell you how many times I've gone duck hunting after debating on sleeping in only to be glad I was out there. Half the time I get skunked but...
I was also looking into this, found a lot of information on cpw site. I was looking around the alamosa area. Duck hunting in NM is being destroyed by unethical hunters and hunters without any common courtesy.
Congrats! Still one of my bucket list items I'll get around to. What part of NM are you headed to? I can get just about anywhere in the state in about 3-4 hours so if you need help packing meat let me know!
The area's I hunt are walk in and usually have a dirt road or clearing you walk down. So I went to home depot and bought a cart, has 4 wheels sits off the ground well to get through some brush. Carriers 3 dozen dekes, 2 spinning wing, blind bag, chair, shotgun, drinks n' snacks, and just about...
