Is there something particularly unique about the animals that can be hunted in New Mexico that might affect the experience, taste, etc. compared to other states?
All New Mexico game and fish is fair chase living on a wild landscape. I as well as all my ProGuides believe these game animals spend their lives feeding across this wild natural organic landscape taking in whole nutrients, vitamins and medicines then we eat the flesh, we take these directly into our bodies.
Hunting For Beginners
The SFGC has a new and very popular ModernHuntsman Program designed to educate and teach want to be hunters firearm safety, shooting skills and harvest techniques so you take home the best table fare possible after your successful time afield. These programs are tailored to the hunter who wants to be self proficient with hopes of following up with DIY (do it yourself) adventures. We assist our ModernHuntsman with procuring the right tags for public lands as well as on our private ranches where for this first outing, hunting and searching for an animal is not the focus, but firearm safety, shooting skills and then what we actually have to do to harvest the animal professionally being the targets. These training programs are for fishermen, small game hunters and big game hunters alike. Taking fresh rainbow trout, bass, walleye, catfish for the frying pan or grouse, dove, ducks and squirrels while small game hunting or antelope, deer or elk for big game events – most ModernHuntsman participants work their way up through the training from fishing, small game then onto big game over several season afield with us.
What are the benefits of harvesting your own food?
There is a strong push these days to be more self reliant and to eat wild natural foods.
A life time of fishing and hunting for quality food also delivers a life time of excellent outdoor recreation as well.
I spend my time working on my business, gardening annual crops, growing a variety of fruit trees, fishing and hunting for a well balanced self sustained wild diet…of course going out to my favorite restaurants and grocery shopping between my harvest for the best healthiest life possible recreating afield.
