Nice picture and that's a good job of sneaking in a car picture without anybody noticing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

its not easy by the way what would you recommend as far as getting ready for a hunt in new mexico my budy chris thats in the picture helping me hold up that tarpon got discharged from the military last yr and moved back to roswell he invited me to come up and hunt this yr any advice would be aperciated

Looks like you are ready as far as gun and shooting ability. You can take my advice any way you like it. I am an overweight grandfather and the thing I wish I had done differently before hunting out west was physical exercise. If you are not in shape, those mountains will eat you alive. I would suggest walking, running, jogging at least several miles a day. You will enjoy the hunt much more. I prepared that way for every trip I made after my disaster on the first one. By the morning of my second day, I could barely walk, much less hunt. I was ready for the rest of my hunts and have hunted New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Comfortable, broken in boots, Clothing for hot and cold weather. Listen to your buddy in New Mexico. He will steer you in the right direction

well I don't know but you may need a bigger gun for does.lol J/K nice doe!

As for hunting in New Mexico, get a set of steady stix for the kneeling shots and some pole cat tri's for the standing shots, cause depending on where you hunt it may be a long shot so you want to have a good rest. and walk a lot cause most of the time you will be doing that, and if you don't have a good pair of Bino's , get some cause you will need them.
