NEW MEXICO Unit 13, Archery Antelope - An so it begins... Tomorrow I am heading off to New Mexico to chase speed goats with a bow. It is a self-guided hunt and I have been really looking forward to it. You can follow along as I update this blog from the field with a play-by-play of my self-guided hunt. I will be hunting antelope in unit 13, New Mexico. Unit 13 is located to the south and southeast of Datil, NM. It is an archery only unit in the public draw and I have hunted it before. I had a tag in the unit back in 2006 and my buddy Chris had the tag in 2008. Both hunts were successful and I am hoping that this hunt is just as much fun. I have two good buddies coming out to go with me, Jason Jones and Greg Lewis. We are going to try some decoying on this trip because Greg has had a lot of success with it. We have antelope decoys, cow decoys, blinds, and a variety of other tools in our arsenal that we might try on this hunt. It should be a blast!!!! Tomorrow (Friday) I am going to head out early to take a look around the unit and find out where we are going to focus our efforts. It is a HUGE unit and encompasses most of the 16's units (big game units) in New Mexico. There is a lot of public land with a bunch of private mixed throughout. I am going to run my mapping software in my truck to make sure we know where we are in the unit. I am going to meet Greg and Jason in Datil tomorrow evening. Hopefully, I will have some reports of some big bucks we are going to chase on Saturday. Keep checking back to follow along....
