bigorange Report post Posted March 19, 2019 Anyone have any experience hunting the Bosque Del Apache youth turkey hunt in New Mexico? Found out today my daughter won one of the raffle tags so she’ll be hunting Rios in a few weeks...can’t wait. I hear it’s an awesome hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IA Born Report post Posted March 19, 2019 I have a co-worker in our Regional Office in ABQ who's daughter had that hunt last year. I don't know if I still have the write-up he did, but it was an amazing adventure. She'll have a blast!

CouesPursuit Report post Posted March 19, 2019 Good luck to your daughter, OP. Enjoy Bosque. It is an amazing place for wintering waterfowl and general animal viewing year-round. I've witnessed plenty of turkey but they aren't as photogenic as the mule deer. Buck below had a gnarly scar and a gimp. The refuge manager at the time heard a buck was hit by a car a couple months prior and wasn't recovered. And lastly, I wish I had a better camera back then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SonnyK Report post Posted May 6, 2019 We usually see turkeys in the south end of the refuge. My brother is hunting them south of the refuge and has been seeing and talking to them but has yet to put one down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
