CEI Report post Posted June 14, 2013 We review them, eat them, and digest precipitation reports. Poor New Mexico! New Mexico has been hammered by severe drought conditions, but the 6 month precipitation reports show units 15, 16A, 16D, & 23 at 80-90% of their normal precipitation. Units 22 & 24 are at 70-130%! Over the past several years, New Mexico seems to always draw the short end of the stick. Antler Growth in 2013? Below average across much of the state for deer & elk, but units 15, 16A, 16D, 22, 23 & 24 are the only bright spots. 3 month Precipitation Outlook for New Mexico. The Monsoon Outlook isn't looking good for the drought conditions in New Mexico. If it all plays out, this could also be a HORRIBLE elk rut year in New Mexico. Units 15-17 are just to the west of the light brown, but considering the over all conditions, they need an EARLY-GREAT Monsoon Season. You can't control the weather, but if your application service or outfitter isn't on top of the facts, you could end up wasting a lot of time and money.
