Default RE: For some reason....

Never hunted the Rockies, I could see the Rockies where wehunted at for 2 years in a rowinNorth Central New Mexico in the Carson National Forest. And I will honestly say, that was the most enjoyable hunt of my life. We lived out of a cooler for 7 days, and took showers with one of those portable solar shower bags you hang from a tree limb, and slept in a 8 person tent. We'd run into town every 2 days to get ice, gasand more water, but town was 1 1/2 hours away. We did everything ourselves, no guides, just our GPS with downloaded maps, and sought out and found some water holes. My Dad and brother both shot Cow's, and I had a AWESOME encounter with a 5x6 at 40 yards, and a 300lb black bear at 20 yards. That land makes a person feel REALLY small. But the inner peace I had while hiking on top of rim rock looking down into a valley, I can't put into words.I just wish I could afford to do it every year. If you want to do it, I say, go for it, you won't regret it.
