I'm 32, about to be 33 and besides sitting in a tree stand as a kid and never shooting a deer I have zero hunting experience. I live in New Mexico so I have a wide variety of options when it comes to hunting but truthfully I have zero idea where to go, how to start, or basically anything that I don't know. While I plan on starting in New Mexico I really do want this to become a way that I harvest food for my family and a way for me to break away from the day in and day out of modern life.
I am looking for any info on hunting, on hunting in NM, tips/tricks, and whatever else you can think of. I'm working on gear now, I have a nightforce 2.5-20 I am gonna use for this project and think I've settled on a 270 as the caliber I would to start with.
