WFGinNM Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Well, my son had his first NM deer hunt over the weekend in 17. Saturday morning we saw 14 doe and 1 spike, as well as 2 bulls and 5 cows. Not a legal deer spotted, so we headed to a different area and when my son closed the last gate on our way out he found an arrowhead next to the rear tire, he was pretty happy. That evening we glassed a buck about 6 or 7 hundred yards away across a canyon, it was too late to go after him so we headed there first thing in the morning and tried to find him again with no luck. After a few hours of glassing with nothing found, boredom got the best of him so we moved back to where we started on Saturday morning. It was somewhat overcast so I was hoping that there might be some deer moving. While I was glassing he was looking for more arrowheads, a couple other hunters moved into the foothills I was glassing so I got optimistic that they might push something out. After about 30 minutes I see movement, 22 cows and 6 bulls, but no deer. Well that was all the time we had for his hunt with the long drive and school. Had a great time looking at all the animals, and my son found 6 arrowheads so he was pleased. --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyaboutcoues Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Six arrow heads in one trip that's pretty good. If you were hunting Elk you would have seen deer everywhere. hehe Take Care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFGinNM Report post Posted October 30, 2006 I told him that if we were hunting elk all we would be seeing are deer. That is a ral nice buck that Cole shot. I've seen some real good deer in the Burro's in the past. --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
