Seeking Advice for a Backpack Turkey Hunt (NM)

Thanks for the update! Hopefully your next outing will be more productive. I'm not very familiar with Turkeys in the Pecos but 10k+ sounds a little high. There are always exceptions to the rule, but in general I'd say if there are still snow drifts from the winter where you are hunting turkeys you might head for lower elevations.

Birds will follow the snow line and hit the fresh green.

Just typical mountain turkeys, lot's of birds in small areas and vast lands void of turkeys.

Thanks! I'll be looking to fill my tag again in November in NM if you have a general area or national forest that you can recommend.
