They have only five covid cases but are scared it might get worse by October. Shaking my head. We’ve lost 94 people in my small county with over 2300 hospitalized and are already recovering. At least they are offering my deposit back. I have a friend that had a San Carlos turkey hunt that was cancelled....they kept his money. Last edited by Godogs57; 05/22/20.

Fear can't stop you from dying from COVID-19 but fear of COVID-19 can stop you from living. Without a doubt, our fear-based response to COVID-19 has crippled our economy. Moreover, it is my belief the worst is yet to come as thousands of small businesses across the country go belly-up.

I pointed out that Vermejo, along with other ranches, are full speed ahead. Maybe the ranch will change their mind between now and October...still plenty of time.

Philmont hunts are on as far as I know. I've hunted elk there the last three years but was unsuccessful in the 2020 fall elk drawing.

And it’s not til Oct. seems a little premature to me. The frickin Navajos have it the worst here, not like the evil white eyes are bringing The green death.

Just like Washington, the state of NM is full of idiots (democrat libtards) who ELECT such a governor. Anything tribal most likely dimocrap, too. Life Member NRA, RMEF, American Legion, MAGA. Not necessarily in that order.
