I recently got back from my New Mexico scouting trip and found some very interesting things. For one the maps I've been pouring over for months looked nothing like the real thing! The mountains were much steeper and thicker than expected and I sure am glad i took the trip! I also spotted several bulls in velvet and while scouting the immediate area i found last years rubs everywhere and also a few elk sheds. Is it normal for these bulls to live in the same area all year long? I really thought i would find one type of elk sign or another but not all three together! Beautiful country and I cant wait until October!
