got out early this morning " saturday" for my first out of state hunt. We did a good deal of hiking and even videoed one area where i had to crawl up the cracks of a rock wall in order to get up to the top. We found a good sized 2x2 muley up there and i could have taken him easily at 202 yards but decided to just hold off.

6 more days left, no need to rush things yet.

I hope your seeing more sign in NM, than you did on your colorado hunt.good luck and be safe out there!

'ah missed one today! My brother in law said to hold top back and i figured oh ok, he must be 200 yards if hes telling me to hold on his back. I aimed a couple inches over, squeezed and ahhhh crap! Right over him.

Oh well, plenty of days left, and ive learned to carry my own range finder so i know exactly how far the next buck is.

Almost used the tag on a small 3x3.. whhheeeww!!

The monsters are around but extremely hard to get on to. We jumped 3 5x5's yesterday and they just dont stop long enough for a shot. Its been hard hunting so far.

Hang in there MD. I'm sure you'll get one soon enough.
