I don't care about the harsh recourse. I am definately going on the hunt. I've got a buddy that right now is planning on going with me. I've got a pop up trailer that would be a cinch to get into so we'll take his trailer since its hard sided. Side arm? You betcha! I might even buy a nice new ultralight .45 with the most knarly flesh destroying round I can get. I just wanted to know if things are as bad as I've heard.
As a side note, I live in NM and was hunting S.E. part of the State for javies last february. We're headed out for an afternoon hunt, middle of nowhere desert terrain. Come up over the hill and out there, I mean out there, parked on the side of a dirt road is 4 mexican looking dudes in real nice clothes standing next to 2 new BMW's, a Mercedes and an Audi. By the looks on their faces they were just as surprised to see us as we were them.
