It It was 60 at 5200 ft where we live and a 1 1/2 hour drive took us into this elk and muley country. The snow was so deep we had to turn around as the snow on the road was too deep.MOM/SWD and Ronflew in from KC,MO for the weekend and we took them sight seeing while I used the outing for scouting this public hunt area. These pics areapprox at 8000-9700 ft in elevation.
We then went out in the hills and looked for coyotes and played with the blazer today. The scenery is so diverse in NM.

Cool pics thanks for sharing! Someday I will draw either NM or Arizona and have a chance at one of the big bulls that live their.
