While working a project just north and west of the Pecos Wilderness in New Mexico this past fall, I managed to work with several good men from local families dating back over 400 years... (being history buff, I knew the historical sir names and Spanish deeded landholdings pretty well) Old time New Mexico familes are fine, close knit folks, whether Spanish, Indian or Mexican origens. Truely fabulous folks.
I had an offer to come to an apple orchard and shoot a cow elk on a depredation permit if I wanted to fill the freezer...and of course life got in the way.
Another offer to hunt a separate, remote, multi section place was pre-empted as well.
You can bet I'll maintain these friendships, so maybe the offers will stand again next year.
I've said that too often, and need to move on opportunities...
there are now more miles behind me than in front.
