No deer. Kinda bummed but great learning experience. Can't wait to try again. We're going to be taking family hiking trips along public and federal lands until next tag to get more familiar with region and sightings
We've been traveling one end to the other chasing sightings. Tomorrow going we can sit and wait a bit but husband is antsy and doesn't sit still for long. Got some decent advice from the guys working out there a herd makes it's through down above 9.
Day 4 we've seen a 3 bucks with 8 doe but all antelope. Saw some quail and was at least able to direct some others to them. Still haven't seen any deer. Tomorrow is our last go, so here's hoping. Oh we did see some roadrunners so that was cool. 😁
So nothing so far. We're a little handicapped by the fact our 8,6,2 year olds are with us. We homeschool so they are home during hunting. We're hunting NM Unit 25 which has been fairly barren. We've seen 1 antelope, 1 javalena, a mama and her 2 babies and cows....so many cows. Home for nap time...
This is my first time hunting but hoping for more. Grew up in an anti hunting family but married into a hunting family. First time in past 3 years of putting in I got a draw and I'm really excited about it. No luck on day one but I'm being optimistic. Came here looking for tips and information.
