My trip is over. I?m home. 5000+ more miles on my truck by adding thanksgiving trip to the tail end.


Killed two day limit on sandhill crane. Success!
Did my best stalk ever.......on a giant jackrabbit.  Saw him at 100 yards and stalked like ninja to 25 yards.  Then made the best kneeling shot with my .22 handgun.  It was satisfying beyond words. Success!
Killed a lot of quail.  Success. I did miss a lots of shots trying a new sxs gun. I kinda sucked.


Deer. We bird dogged a herd for miles. I got a 242 yard shot and came unglued.  I shot over his head because I put 8 MOA clicks when I should have done 2.4.  (The bullet drop was 8 - duh!)


My brother and I did a 2 mike speed walk to get to a great mulie before the sun set. It was brutal.  I got my brother to 180 yards and he got buck fever and missed.


We saw a pack of coyote drag down a fawn. Mom deer jumped in and was kicking yotes in the head trying to save the baby deer. It was shocking. A Buck was sneaking out. No help from the male deer against the coyotes. Men!  We could not stand it and fired a shot to scatter the dogs. Then we noticed the Buck. My friend missed.

So three misses.

I also found 100 lbs of contraband. No pics I?m willing to show. Sorry. I?m not pissing of the cartel.

Great trip!  I?m tired. Real tired.
 
Sounds like a good trip Cliff even though you weren't able to punch some tags on the deer. Was this NM?
 
yea...deer was in NM.

we realized this year that the ranch borders a huge swathe of BLM land..having landowner tags, it was off limits.  we saw deer everyday migrating about...we are putting in for the draw next year.  nobody puts in for that god-forsaken unit.  we should draw.

Based off what you found out there I have a VERY good idea of what unit you're in. I will give you a call later!
