Welcome from Texas! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it, my wife and I go to the range frequently and she enjoys the 15-22 more than any other firearm.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. Hoping to find some BLM land to go shooting/hiking around sometime this week. New Mexico weather is weird supposed to have snow on Wednesday. Longgunnm I've had a little bit of luck finding .22 LR rounds at a few of the LGS. Going to go look for extra magazines Tomorrow.

Very cool, Dr Peter Thompson has a vacation home across the highway from us in the Alto Golf Course and Lakes community

 

[big_johnson]

We go up there about twice a month and go to the inn of the mountain gods. Feels nice to escape clovis and see trees and stuff.

Was my honor, loved almost every minute of it, just wish it ended different. LOL *Sigh*

Any ideas on where to get some blm maps that are up to date?

Of course I do! It's kinda what I do for a living. I'm not technically a cartographer, but I do a lot of cartography. If you give me a hunting unit, a 24K Quad Boundary, or a general area you want to have data for, I can make you a decent map of the area and send it to you in .PDF or anything else you want. I can also get you in touch with the GIS Specialist for the Roswell Field Office, he's a good friend, and he can hook you up with other local data I don't have.

In the meantime, for EVERYONE in New Mexico, let me share a secret source with you...
