Hello from El Paso
« on: October 21, 2011, 02:53:00 PM »
I have been reading this forum for some time and finally decided to join and maybe reach out to people in my area. Im just starting down this path and have learned alot reading here. Now I hope to try out as many bows as possible and find the right one for me. If anyone is from El Paso Las Cruces area Id love to meet up and pick your brain. Thanks for reading

You are day late & a $1.00 short. I just spent 1.5 years in El Paso working but am gone now. I saw lots and lots of quail outside of town all over the place, and deer crossing signs but never saw a deer. I know it's Javelin country, check around for day leases in the area.
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

Welcome.  I was stationed in El Paso at Ft. Bliss and also at White Sands Missle Range 20+ yrs ago.  There are some awesome hunting opportunities available in the area, you just need to seek them out.

I am near La Luz, which is near Alamogordo, which is 80 miles from El Paso.  And I do have several bows you are welcome to try.  This is a great time to visit the Cloudcroft area and see the aspen in their prime- probably the last weekend before the leaves are mostly gone.  Cloudcroft is a real pretty mountain place that if you haven't visited you will want to.  PM me if you would like to look at bows or talk bowhunting.  Steve

I spent several years as an Army brat at Bliss a few years ago (1950s), and the desert off Fred Wilson road was where I terrorized numerous lizards and jackrabbits with my fiberglass longbow. Where I used to hunt as a kid is now the middle of town, but I still have a soft spot for the area.
Welcome to the forum; lots of good information here.
