I would not believe there were even rivers in NM!

LOL jk. I went to NM a few years ago and a young fellow actually hunted his GrNtCh so I could experience coonhunting in NM on a horrible weather weekend (no one else had showed up it was so bad) we were along the Rio Grande and it was as wet as any river in OR :lol: Bad enough weather nothing was moving, but I sure appreciated him going out so I didn't have a totally wasted trip to NM.

In a boat would be something. You just pull to the bank and let them off the chain when they open like off a truck?

Libby, it is a blast. But rigging for strikes is almost to easy sometimes. The only hard part is knowing what side of the river their striking. I like to dump em before they get struck and make em work a little harder. If I can find someone to pull an all nighter I like to park two trucks 10-15 miles apart and float through remote country all night. I've caught a dozen coon in one night hunting this way. I would of never got this pic if I wasn't in a boat.
