Day 2 the weather got right and things started to fall into place - it was so good, we had to break this one down into 2 parts

Great job again, guys! I would guess I have walked those same ridges many times. Those northeast NM turkeys are a blast! ;D :angel9:
Congrats on a couple nice birds you've just got to love the country where the merriam's live
Congrats on the birds and your grand slam! Love hunting NM and always find some nice sheds too.
Second part of day 2

:icon_thumright: Another good'un guys.
Hunted the Lincoln NF this spring with my buddy who lives in NM...He got a nice bird opening day which happened to be his birthday..We hunted the rest of the week without getting another bird in front of the guns..Saw so much life...Elk,deer,coyotes...its a great experience camping ang hunting there
Very nicely done boys!
If you had not told me, I would have assumed those birds were Rio's.....
Thanks for sharing guys!! :icon_thumright:
Part 2 is a very good video too thanks for putting it on
Day 3 in New Mexico. I get right in the middle of a herd of elk and get my chance at my second tag

Yessir,...hunt that particular part of NM and the barking elk scenario is a regular occurrence,...as is finding those sheds. One nice thing about all the elk though is that you can pretty much blunder around the woods in the dark trying to approach a roosted gobbler and he will pay the noise no mind. They are so used to elk making a racket in the dark that they usually just assume breaking branches at ground level are just another bunch of elk wandering past,...and will often gobble to say good morning!

:lol: Yep!!! I used to be on a lease in FLA that had wild cows on it. We would walk around and if we stepped on a branch, we'd just let out a loud "MOOOOOO!!", then keep on going. ;D Worked like a charm!!!
Last one from New Mexico.

Enjoyed you videos guys!!
Yup,...another good one! Enjoyed going along on your New Mexico adventure (and the other states, as well). That 31 hour drive doesn't sound like much fun, though.... You guys must be pretty darn good friends to put up with each other for that long! ;D
Thanks to everyone who followed along. It was a fun trip for sure.
We kept the cameras rolling through 8 more states after this trip, more videos to come!
