Some more video from this spring.. left Colorado and headed south. 

First day met a snow storm and they still gobbled good!

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

Day 3 I get right in the middle of a herd of elk in the dark and get my chance at my second tag.

Day 3 pm get Bonce on a group of 3 longbeards at 15 yards... then a quick am hunt before we hit the road back home.

Great job again, guys!  I would guess I have walked those same ridges many times.  Those northeast NM turkeys are a blast!   ;D  :angel9:

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.....
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

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.
