Since I've been working out of town I had a nice 7 hour drive to meet the rest of the guys in camp on Friday afternoon. We shot the bull a little, got checked a couple times by the game wardens, then decided to head out and try to find some birds. I split off from the crew and took some pictures of some jakes and hens and right about 7 found a ridge that the birds were going crazy on. After listening to them all gobble for awhile I decided to head back to camp and get some dinner and hit the bed. I got up early Saturday and took off to the bird spot. I got in there early and set up, I started with some light calls and the birds were fired up. After a few minutes I could hear a bird coming off the roost. He glided right out in front of me at about 30 yards. As soon as he hit full strut I let him have it. He folded up and the hunt was over. I hung out and listened to the other birds talk for awhile then took soe photos and tried to go help the others in camp. We got close on a couple of occcations but not close enough. It was nice to get back to the Rez. There are alot of birds and not much traffic.

Here is a buck and one of his buds that made it through this year that I will try and put an arrrow in this August.

I got my first antelope tage too. Tag number 1, unit 21 archery!

Set up a cam on an area that had some sign, snuck in to check cam and they were there. Took a few shots and was done. Lots of pigs on the pecos but they are pretty skittish

If your wondering or I'm gloating I got hit for antelope and elk! been here all my life and first antelope tag, very excited!!!!

I shot three a few weeks ago on public land while here in NM working. I asked a few questions around and nknew they were around water sources. Once they are thier you almost cant get rid of them. The three i shot had 15 piglets. some will go to predators, but some will make it. they are all up and down the Pecos river. Sure they are in other parts too. very nocturnal, and very smart.

I have shot about 10 foxes with mine this year, a bobcat, multiple rabbits, and two hogs in NM. Nothing takes more than a step of two. I shoot the winchesters with the vmax bullet. It shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100yds. I have the CZ in a manlicher stock. I love it, no pelt damage and its pretty quiet. great round. You can also find some ammo for it too...

I had set up a trail cam near Artesia NM and found some hogs. Made a short 45 minute stalk and got within 40 yards on a small group of hogs. I am shooting a 17 HMR. After watchoing the pigs for a while the largest pig offered a good behind the ear shot so I took it. Hog folded up and never took a step. I walk closer and the other came out of the brush wondering what was going on and with another head shot the second was on teh ground without a step. Now standing within a few feet of both hogs I watch as piglets run around nervously. I remember talking to the game wardens about hogs and they had told me that they would like to irradicate all hogs if possible. I took aim and dropped one of the bigger pigglets as they ran by. I could have shot a few more but I had a lot of work ahead of me and not much time before dark. There are alot of people here that know there are hogs here biut not many shooting them. Just goes to show that a little scouting and putting some time in you can have a great DIY hunt. Here are a few pictures. There are two bobcats in the last photo, thought that was pretty neat to see,

For me javelina hunting seems to be more chasing coues bucks most of the time, this year was no different. First day I got out got into some bucks and spent the whole day trying to get close only to have the wind switch at 70 yards and the gig was up. Next day, hike up to my vantage point, sit down on the only rock not covered with snow. Im catching my breath just looking out over the small canyon thinking there should be deer cruising this morning. Just then a small 3x3 comes strolling by at 50 yards head down travelling. My bow is still in my pack! I get it out, try to sneak around the little point I was on. Look for buck, gone. So I grab my pack go another 50 yards up the hill to a little better vantage and set up my glasses. After a few minutes I look down to where I was earlier and the same buck is standing 20 yards from where I set my pack! He just kept travelina though. Watched him bed at 200 yards. Stalk was on, got to 50, still bedded. Knocked an arrow, ranged him, wait is on... Buck stands, walks straight away with nose on the ground. The Rut, gotta love it. So after that I set up the glasses again and find a about 10 pigs, sneak in and shoot one at about 12 yards. Fast forward a couple weeks. I picked up a left over HAM tag in a unit I have never been before. I am currently working out of town so I meet some guys at camp Friday night to very high winds and sightings so far. Next morning get up and start glassing. We find a few mulies in the snow storm but no pigs. We figure they are brushed up. Around noon the snow left up and it starts to warm a little. So we head to the other side of the mountain and right off the bat I have them. They are working up hill to some of the other guys i camp so we decide to try and intercept but we lost them. One of the other guys got a shot with a muzzle loader and connected. So one down, its dark. We wake up Sunday to sun and a slight breeze. We get over to where we lost the pigs the day before and find them in about 10 minutes. We sneak in, watch them for about an hour and then I decide to shoot one only to miss with a borrowed muzzle loader at 40 yards. Reload, hammer the same one I missed at 80 yards. I guess I had a little pig fever! They are alot of fun to hunt, heres a couple pics.

Is there anyone else out there that makes big eyes (30x +) with clarity? Whats your opinions on the options? Thanks

Im headed over there to work for a few months and wondering if there are any preadator callers in the area? Headed over at the end of the month. Does anyone know if there is good calling near there? Thanks

Here is a buck I got to 70 on but presented no shot. I was pinned at 120 so took out the 15's and took some pics with my phone. I think he is about 90"
