I hunted Tularosa Gate right after 9/11 (hunt was scheduled for Nov, postponed until March). It was also reduced to a one-day hunt.

There was so much tearing around in 4x4s right after orientation that I ended up just parking for a couple hours.

The range officers eventually announced that a big herd was spotted in such-and-such location. Everyone zoomed there, at which point I headed out in the opposite direction.

I'm not really bummed that it's a once-in-a-lifetime hunt --- I'd never voluntarily sign up for that experience again anyway. whistle
