pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I would like to apply for a New Mexico tag for these sheep. Has anyone ever hunted these sheep in New Mexico. Is there a good location (only two areas to choose from). good lcuk to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have considered it, but not actually hunted them. I believe this is the first year for the draw for them, think they had been over the counter. The info I have read makes it sound like they move around quite a bit and locating them is kind of hit or miss unless you have an outfitter. They are a beautiful animal.

colorado bob Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Probably one of the hardest hunts there is. They live in rough country. I think you would be better off hunting them in west Texas with an outfitter ----no draw for that hunt. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked pretty challenging to me, even tho it was on a huge ranch. The first show he missed the shot, so there was a second show. I have the utmost respect for Foulkrod as he is a gritty old PA guy like me and it looked like he worked pretty hard to get the goat even tho a portion of the hunt was spot and stalk. Good luck on your hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I ended up NOT APPLYING this year. A friend did apply and we will see how his hunt goes. Maybe next year. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Remember if you really get the urge, I am pretty sure you can still buy landowner tags. You would also have to buy the license. Always an option if you just can't stand your buddy going alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not afraid of "HUNTING HARD", however, you guys got me a little hesitant so we will see how his hunt goes this coming year. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
