Pronghorn hunt

[rferg84]

Good advice here. I crawled about a third of a mile to get my shot.

Yep. I ran about half a mile up to a knob and had to crawl 300 yards to get in place without getting busted.

We paid $2700 for four hunters with two guides. No meals or lodging.

Stayed in the one hotel in Magdalena, which must have been a brothel once upon a time.

I don't think the pricing you are getting is out of line by any means.

Thanks everyone. I think I’m going with my old trusty .270, I know where it shoots out to 300. And snake boots it is. Short hunt, plenty of water and whiskey after the kill. Looking forward to it.

On a side note, I’m having trouble getting my license, I have to call them. Hopefully I get it all worked out.

We literally stopped at the fish and game office and bought ours when we got into NM.

Good luck ! Although I killed most of mine in Wyoming with a bow, hunting antelope is lots of fun and you don’t usually have to dress like an Eskimo to do it. That said, I spent a whole day in a pop up once freezing my keester off having to occasionally hold one side of it to keep it from rolling away through the prairie ! You will have a blast ! Take pics and share please, I miss it !

Sounds fun. I am looking toward my first pronghorn hunt, but have only looked at tx drawn hunts, hoping this year is the year. .270win or 6.5 cm

270 as a 243 is plenty.

They grow em big in New Mexico

Good luck sir! Good glass is a must. Hope you nail a giant!

Doesn’t take much to kill em. I took my 7 mag but I was prepared to launch one way out there if needed. 4 of us killed on our first evening. All 4 qualified for B&C. Heck of an evening

Staying in Tucumcari, weather doesn’t seem to be in our favor, will be cooler though. Hunting unit 41, private land.
