Tobyjoe and Spirit11,
I have hunted these barberys along the slopes of the southern sac mnts and they are a bitch. I have even ventured out onto the eastern plain out way below (20-30 miles) mayhill. They are there, I just never caught up with one. One ol' rancher from the mayhill area told me good luck...you will need fast horses and magnum rifles.
The thing that pisses me off to extreme is that NM must delete this foreign animal from our shores... and that is not a raciest statement. Because NMF&G will not introduce NATIVE desert bighorn sheep where the the aoudad runs amok. My opinion...shoot them all...over the counter license sales $10 a tag. Yet I forgot, NMF&G would rather not take a Leopoldian Gila stance in the world, in trade for, profit and running the largest exotic game ranch in the world at the expense of the rancher and his cows. Shoot those sumbitches, I want healthy desert bighorn.
But, that is just my opinion.
