Youre driving a new red f150 with WA plates. Parked along US 64. Did you get into em? We have seen 3 bulls. All small. Let me know.

Thanks

WoolyRunner - how did your hunt in NM end up in 2018? Did you find any decent bulls? I drew unit 51 1st rifle for 2022. Any areas you would stay away from?

The part that's on fire :chuckle:
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I had that tag a few years ago.  Depends on your definition of "decent".  We saw a handful of 5 and 6 points, but nothing over 300".

My recommendation...get there ahead of time and be prepared to pull the trigger on the first day.  The rut was still trickling along on the opener for us (about October 8 or 9), but then we had a cold snap and a few snow flakes and that was it.  All the bulls went into their deep, dark hiding places to recover.  I spent the last few days trying to find solo bulls in the timber, that was not fun.
