Well.... maybe NEXT big .33 <g>.
I grew up in Socorro but I had to google Mesquite. We used to roam around the Gila a lot and hit Elephant Butte a few times, but I don't think I ever got south of Las Cruces. Mostly I was up in central and northern NM. I really want to get back down there. She holds a piece of my heart....
Hunted elk and deer in the Gila and Lincoln NF. Fished in the Caballo and Elephant Butte quite a bit. Never hunted big game in Northern New Mexico.
Killed this buck in the Lincoln NF last month.
