No, it's Banded Peak Ranch. Run by Frank Simms and Randy Slaughter of Rio Brazos Outfitters. It's in Chromo, Co Turn at the old post office and go up the road 8 miles to the Ranch gate. The Navajo River runs next to that road. Not the Tierra Amarilla but I do still consider myself lucky. It's a...
I carry some of my business cards in my wallet. When I have to leave the carcass, I put one of my cards in his mouth and push it as far into the throat as I can. Also taking pictures with time stamp before I leave.
