Hi Everyone,
I'm Matt Barbour, a hunter located in Bernalillo, New Mexico. Typically, my family and I hunt elk, deer, turkey, and a variety of small game. However, on Wednesday, I found out that I was drawn for a once-in-a-life-time hunt for ibex in the Florida mountains south of Deming. In the past, I have never been the most diehard hunter. If I get something great, but if I don't, I have never let it really bother me. Sometimes, the story of the one that got away is better than the trophy on the wall, but with this hunt there is no repeats. So, I am feeling the pressure.
Has anyone here hunted ibex in the Florida Mountains? Has Randy ever done an episode on hunting New Mexico's Persian ibex? I am need of tips. That is why I joined.
This year is going to be a great year for hunting for our family. My wife and my father-in-law both got drawn for cow elk in the Valles Caldera, my oldest boy is going after his first javelina, and in addition to the ibex, I also got drawn for javelina. As part of the javelina hunts, we will also have our annual father-son rabbit hunt just north of Deming and we will do a squirrel hunt in the Jemez Mountains as part of the Caldera elk hunt. Currently, I have gone out for turkey twice this year and nada.
If anyone has any advice on Ibex, I would love to hear it. Better yet, if someone else was drawn, let me know and perhaps we can coordinate together. Thanks
