Another teaser

I will find out more. But this possible state record was taken about ten miles away, just north of Lee Henderson's ranch where we hunt. The terrain in the middle photos is low down (well, only 6500 feet) and already rugged; similar rocky conditions prevail right up to the peak. Stay tuned...
We saw sheep, though no big rams, the day these were taken


The mountain is on the horizon behind the cholla in this photo taken on Lee's, and on the horizon in the one taken looking north from the Magdalena range, with Lee's ranch spread out between. Don't let perspective fool you-- it is over 9000 feet in elevation. Right click for larger on any...

GAWD, what a RAM! The LAST thing I'd want to do, did I see such a critter, would be to shoot it, though! I'd be in such awe I'd likely PRAY to it, instead!....and the scenery photos--you might as well just be in Kazakhstan! Especially with tazis in the pictures!....L.B.

....and who built the nest in the next-to-last photo? Also, just curious, and wondering after just finishing up a couple of books about the reintroduction of the Mexican Wolves--you ever go down and check out the areas where they are now? Ever seen or heard one there in New Mexico?.....L.B.
