I just found out I'll be stationed at Ft. Bliss this summer and am looking to find out what the turkey prospects in the area look like. I've been hunting in SD, NE and KS on public land near the Missouri River the last couple years and have been doing pretty well. However, I have a feeling NM will be a completely different experience. I'm excited to try a new area and want to start off on the right foot, since I'll only be in the area a couple seasons at best.
My main question is are there any birds on White Sands or Bliss? If not what are my best chances as someone who'll be new to the region?
Also, are there any general rules of thumb for desert birds?
Thanks
