Could be worse Greg, you see what I'm going through...LOL

RE: New Mexico was a bust.
 

Yeah Rob! I'll get my chance to miss this weekend I hope. I'm going to hunt with a buddy from work that has lots of birds on his land. I'm hopeful.

Ausie......you just don't get it!

RE: New Mexico was a bust.
 

Yeah I do and I dont think a turkey is worth the time or effort not to mention the costs involved.


Like I said on the phone if I want a turkey I will go to Walmart and get one:D

Ignore the little feller Greg.He's not even allowed in Wally World!Bet down town Riodosa was great,I love going into the art galleries,Fentons has great stuff upstairs.I use to go out to the reservation and shoot skeet when I would go up.The casino shafted that for more parking!Go back in September and get a bear tag and you can hunt everywhere between there and Cloudcroft and camp in a public campground...dumpsters are bear proof so hunting near them would be good they try to get in them anyway!

I think we all owe Murphy from one time or another, right Rob?;) All in all it sounds like you got to see some beautiful sights and had a good time even with your MIL in tow.

Aussie, you buy your turkeys at Wal Mart? I didn't even know they sold turkeys.

RE: New Mexico was a bust.
 

OK Russell, what about pork? We've hog hunted together several times. You can buy pig meat at Wal-Mart too. Wait a minute! Where is my phone..... have you ever been turkey hunting?

RE: New Mexico was a bust.
 

Sorry to hear you came up empty, at least you got some exercise.[X(]

RE: New Mexico was a bust.
 

Greg.

Pork is a different story you get plenty of meat from a pig, I have shot turkeys but they was silly enough to come along while I was hunting something else:)

But have I gone out and just targeted turkeys no I haven't and probably never will, I dont see how guys can get so worked up over a beard and spurs ( well I can see why Rowell does )[8D];):D

RE: New Mexico was a bust.
 

I dont understand what imreadinghere it aint the beard or spurs, its the hunt, anyone who loves hunting would enjoy a good turkey hunt...[&:]

Watch it Russ...the old man will return soon enough and take care of my lite work!:D Myself I have never been after turkey per say,they're a bonus to deer I guess.But hey if it's a chance to get out and escape and have a hunt I can see where it would be worth it.I have learned not to harvest one and return to camp and start celebrating with a beer and then decide to dress it...maybe it's ours down here but geez they are ripe smelling!
