I’m planning my first western hunt with 3 friends (first for everyone). We’re planning on first rifle in zone 10/Gila.
A little background on us:
-all newish hunters from Texas. But not new to shooting, game care, or camping
-week long hunt (Sunday-Saturday).
-camp for 2-3days at a time and hike back to trucks for water/resupply
-hunt plan is to scout/find water then adjacent food and bedding.
-I lived in Las Vegas NM for a couple years and am familiar with the terrain. We’re all starting to ruck pretty hard with increasingly heavy packs.
I’m looking for a couple things:
1) general ideas of how to find oak and potential feeding areas in OnX/Google earth.
2) local taxidermy suggestions
3) should I bring my 4 wheeler?
4) would anyone trade intel? Bear for elk or whatever you’re looking for.
I’ve listened to a ton of podcasts about fall bear in other states and only a couple specifically for New Mexico/Arizona. But I’d be interested to find more.
