Description
When one thinks of game animals in New Mexico, Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer are often the first species that come to mind, but the state is also home to impressive herds of Namibian oryx and Persian ibex. There are no fewer than four different quail and three different turkey subspecies. New Mexico is a land of plenty in terms of both types of animals and public lands on which to encounter them. This presentation is geared towards helping hunters, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts find and properly identify these animals.
