New mexico trip this year
It looks like I'll pass on Oklahoma this year and try public land in NM instead. $130 for a NR spring license good for 2 birds, lots of National Forest land with good populations of Merriams and Riosand nice places to stay.
ROAD TRIP!

Lincoln National Forest. Units 34, 36, and 37. I just booked a condo in Ruidoso. There are over 1,000,000 acres to hunt with Merriams and Rios. The hunter success rate last year was 50% and this is public land! I'll also be looking for elk sign while I'm there. Who knows, maybe I'll get drawn.

I hunted in unit 34 3 years ago shot a nice merriam on the last morning. It is a beautiful place to hunt with alot of turkeys. I plan on being back in new mexico sometime this season myself. Love road trips.
