Good luck. That would be my plan if I ever draw again. And I'll say it one more time, get as far off the road as you can. Find a locked gate get in deep and scout. If you can find a canyon with mud, you'll get good info on what's in there. My sense was they bed down up in the south facing cliffs...- silasd

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. -

Nm gmu 2b
Hi all, I got lucky and drew 2B after three years of zero tags. It's the last Oct rifle hunt. I want to go up and scout in a couple of weeks just to get the lay of the land. If you had to pick a side, would you start scouting the Carson NF side or the lake side? Any pointers to focus me more are... -

Friend bailed on our upcoming New Mexico mule deer trip
I'm going to strip out what I think isn't essential but cheat and throw it in the truck. I'm tricking myself into letting go of the three "yeah but what if" emergency fire starting kits!- silasd

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
