I was one of the lucky ones this year. I drew a NM antelope tag for the first time in 9 years.
I got my ranch assignment last night. FBK in unit 47.
Anyone have any information on this place?
Looks like 6 draw hunters and 3 landowner tags for almost 16k acres.
I guess the nearest hotel is in ???
Thanks
Dave

Congrats on a good area
Tomahawk guide service in Springer was pretty good if you don't get a chance to scout things beforehand. But if that's a good ranch you should be fine for a DYI hunt.
We hunted Elk north of there with them but not antelope.

Thanks
Is there still a little hotel in Roy?
I guess Springer is the next closet little town. Is there a hotel there?

I hunted in Roy last year. No hotel. Not sure about Springer.
He went over yonder way

Last time I was by Springer the Oasis was it. Googled it and it looks like it's still in business.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

I hunted in Roy last year. No hotel. Not sure about Springer. Oasis was still open last time I went through Springer. For Gods sake observe the speed limits in Roy, Mosquero, and Springer! Have been pulled over in all three, escaping with a warning each time...how, I don't know. Either Roy or Mosquero had a ridiculous 15 mph speed limit through "town". Springer wasn't much faster....they certainly love out of state money, as does every small community nowadays.
