I guess it's that time to get the new year kicked off. It's also time to start saying a few prayers for much needed rain for everyone. As usual lets keep this thread useful for anyone needing any help rather its for a new lease or just leanding a hand when needed to keep everyone Safe. Please post up any rain totals in your area and let's try an drop a few pictures from time to time to share the adventures with our fellow hunters. There seems to be a big return going on this yr in Mexico given all the groups looking for ranches. Post up any leads on available ranches if you know of anything good. A big welcome to all of the new hunters this year and good luck to all the groups that's been grinding it out on these past drought seasons we've all shared. Best of luck to everyone and Please be Safe.

Protine question. Who all here feeds Nubam? Been feeding MNA but switching to Nubam. Good bad or ugly. Congratulations to all who shot a trophy this past year. Pray for rain!!

Mex. Bowhunter · 02-26-2023, 09:51 PM

We fed nubam for years. Only swapped to MNA due to price. Why did you stop feeding MNA?

DallasCoon12 · 02-26-2023, 10:05 PM

Old Blue · 02-26-2023, 11:19 PM

Fingers crossed for timely rains for all of you south of the river hunters.

Bo right now Nubam is cheaper. I had some feed tested from MNA and it didn't come back correct. They did give me the price deference in what it cost on that one order. No telling how many tons of protein was put out before that was wrong.

Farmdog · 02-27-2023, 09:45 AM

If I could find away I would grow big deer too. Let it rain on everybody

Ok I found a ranch in Santa Ana , it’s 125,000 acres
How much does one offer for something like that
And how is crossing in Acuna/ del Rio?

I'd probably try to make offer based on number of tags YOU need vs trying to do a lease per acre deal. I think Stupid crosses at Acuna.

I crossed in Acuna one year a long time ago it was not bad. you can also cross the lake dam it was faster but they were pickier.

I’ve been crossing at Acuna for the last 3 years. It’s ok, we have always crossed but sometimes it can be a pain in the neck. We just know going into crossing there that it might take 10 minutes or 1.5 hrs. Once we get through it’s smooth sailing all the way to the ranch. The town of Acuna is great as well!

brokeno · 03-04-2023, 09:17 AM

Let's all hope and pray 2023 will be a wet year.

We had dusting issues with Nubam with multiple loads of feed. Just poor quality control on Nubam's part. Keep an eye on it and stay on them if you go that route. We are paying more since moving on, but quality seems to be much better.

Learjet · 03-12-2023, 11:44 PM

I’ve read where this summer and fall it will be turning to El Niño. The rains will probably not help this season, but should for next with the wetter winter.

We had the same problem with MNA very dry dusty. What are you feeding now?
