Re: Blood trail help

Glad you found him. Was the meat salvageable?

Re: New Mexico Unit 13

Will do. Sorry, I mentioned 6 was a muddy mess. I meant 6A. 6 is a few miles further East.

Any idea where you are going to be camping?

Re: New Mexico Unit 13

I drew the same hunt. Are you heading down on opening day or on Halloween? I've never hunted the area, but I did make it down there a couple weeks ago. Lots of rain and the roads in the mountains were pretty bad. I called the ranger office a week before I left and they said the heavy rains have been...

Re: Need advice....

Thanks for the input. There is a muzzleloader hunt the week before our hunt so we plan to pack in pretty far pretty early.

Two weeks away! We plan on putting some time and miles in on this trip. Hoping my nephew fills his first tag and my third!

Re: Need advice....

Thanks MM. From what I have read, the rut doesn't start until late December to early January in Southern NM.

Re: Need advice....

Thanks Abert. I hadn't realized that. I thought it was a cold weather impetus. That makes sense though.

The area I'll be hunting has received more rain than usual this season and November snow would be highly unusual so high altitude it is. There should be plenty of food in the mountains.

Need advice....

I understand winter vs. summer range, but I don't know when a deer makes the move. Is 30F nights and 40-60F days considered cold enough for deer to move? If I am hunting high altitude in November on a 50F day should I be in the foothills (7000 ft) or higher up in the mountains (8000 ft)?

Re: NM GMU 13- Datil, NM

Thanks Jdeck, I made it down for a "scouting" trip yesterday, but didn't get much scouting done. It had been raining a lot and started again about 15 minutes after getting out of my truck. The rest of the day was spent trying to keep my truck out of the ditch! FS6 was gravel based and well maintaine...
