Brush Buster Report post Posted July 30, 2008 I thought I would share some pictures of a recent scouting trip in northern NM. Yes, I actually did draw my home state (NM) bighorn tag for 2008! I am going self guided with my own livestock. I will have a couple freinds along to help glass and wrangle. Last week a friend and I rode horseback over 70 miles of the Pecos Highcountry. We got a good feel of the land and glassed as much as we could during the five day scouting trip. We were able to find 42 differnt rams with a few decent ones. Hopefully we can find a decent one during the hunt? Time will tell. The sheep were very gentle, but historicly they get very wise and hard to find about a week before the hunt starts. The Pecos Wilderness is awesome! The tops of the highest peaks soar over 13,000 feet and a lot of the terrian is pretty rugged. Clear streams, and lakes are in most every basin. We saw a lot of elk too. Only 1 deer the whole trip? I will post some pictures in about a month, if I am lucky enough to get a ram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
