    Are you seeing bears in the southwest?

    Hi all, First-time bear hunter trying to figure out where the bears are hanging out in central/southern New Mexico these days. In August, they were up high in the mixed conifer/aspen forests - perhaps eating mushrooms. I bumped two in a 6 mile hike, both along the ridge. 7 weeks later in the...

    Auto theft rampant in Albuquerque

    I mentioned this on another thread in an different context, but it occurred to me that this is useful information as hunting season begins and weary folks are traveling through on their way to hunt. Auto theft in Albuquerque is highest in the country per capita. There is no guarantee that your...
