Just bumped this guy from his siesta under the pinions 60 yards from my house on way to next door neighbors.
This was right before the deluge.

Nice pronghorn. Was watching all the rain pop up all over NM yesterday.

 

[hank4elk]

That one just dumped half inch,more on way.Rain thru next week they say.Flashflood watches AZ & NM. Silver Divide got 3" the other night.
I could use a gully washer to fill the big tank & get the knee high grass again with wildflowers.

hank, did you draw a tag for the back yard?

 

[hank4elk]

Nah. Lope tags are tough in my unit.Bow maybe is doable.
They have really sprung back in my area tho. Saw 24 one morning @ the windmill this summer.
I just love seeing them. Had does with youngin's hanging around all summer the last couple years.

Looks like your neighborhood is going to crap. Probably time to consider moving...

 

[hank4elk]

I move....around my neck of the woods!lol

Are you down southwest of Datil? Looks like "Flattop Mesa" (the name we used when flying through there). I always see antelope through there on the way to Reserve.

 

[hank4elk]

Northwest.
That's Allegres Mtn. Only 10k peak in lower 48 that is all private land.

 

[mcelweed]

That's it. Our low level route, when I was flying out of Kirtland AFB in the Air Force, went just south of the mountain to Quemado Lake then north toward Mount Taylor. That was a great visual landmark to make sure we were on course. Great area.

...was taking the backroads from Wichita Falls to the massive Waggoner Ranch south of Vernon one Saturday morning. Flat winding paved roads but cattle guards and roaming stock everywhere in the salt flats and tank dams. I was cruising with the stereo on...my mind a thousand miles away, when an F/A-18 came across directly in front of me right on the deck. I could see the pilot's face. It was there and gone in a flash bit I swear time stood still...thought my truck was exploding, know my heart almost did.

..bet he was grinning.
