Hello,
Undoubtedly some of you may end up laughing at this, but Iassure you I Am serious. I drew a Barbary sheep hunt in New Mexico for December. It has been years since I have been ona serious mountain hunt and I am recently recovered from both Cancer and a heart attack. I "soft peddled" this hunt and received permission to make this two week hunt from my doctor, amalready losing weight and in a excercise program at the local college.
The area to be hunted surrounds the Mescalero Apache reservation and is between 800 and 1,000 square miles. Most of it, I am told, has no Barbary sheep.
I am writing you due to researching this hunt,using all these latest technologies. I know about GoogleEarth, but how do you receive coordinates toresearch sucha large area? Also, GE is also electronically functioning, and I am certain I need maps of this country that won't "die" ifa battery goes dead, or things get wet. The BLM tells me to download "carry maps", which I have done,but there is this tiny screen and the battery problem, once again.
So I can use serious,experionced help in learning about this country, this species, and also hunting this area in December, as to weather conditions.
Thank you in advance,
WW
