    Hunting near El Paso, TX

    Small game is always a good way to get started, rabbits and hares should be ready soon. Once the first freeze hits, just head out into the desert north of red sands. Javelina are out there as well. Learn the habitat and go from there. The best way is to get out there and explore. If there are...

    Moose heart roll

    That looks awesome! Made a deer heart at camp this year and used the caul fat to wrap the heart roll like I saw rinella do on an episode. Came out damn good.

    Who doesn’t wear camo to hunt

    Tactical pants. Earth tone or black depending on country. Tactical because of the pockets and no other reason. I get my shirts at cabelas or academy for 15 bucks when on special and put money into my camo ball caps, which I wear year round. I do have a browning reversible carhartt with camo for...

    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.
