Prehistoric Trackways National Monument – OHV Exploration

OHV exploration at Prehistoric Trackways BLM land

Doña Ana Arch View from OHV

Doña Ana Arch View from OHV

Did some off-road exploration and just playing in the desert with my dad. Had heard there was a natural arch somewhere over in the Doña Ana area but wasn’t fully sure how close you can get to it on 4 wheels versus hiking so we took a look. The answer is…closer than I thought in … Read more

2018 New Mexico Elk Hunt

New Mexico Elk Hunt – Storm views across the plains

Our friend Jason drew an archery elk tag for New Mexico GMU 37 in September.  I didn’t draw myself but was lucky enough to help on the hunt for a few days.  Can’t give away our “secret” spots but this was near the town Capitan on Lincoln National Forest / BLM lands. We moved around … Read more
