New Mexico Unit 2B
Hey, I did draw but not that unit that year. I did draw it this year. Would appreciate any pointers before I head out to scout. I'm planning to work the east side of the lake but am also thinking about the Carson NF. -

Friend bailed on our upcoming New Mexico mule deer trip
Thanks - I did a dry run with a buddy a few weeks ago. Tested out the gear, brought the dog, was near the truck. It's definitely doable. The big takeaway from that trip was the need to strip weight off the pack.- silasd
