Ep. 18: Emphasizing the "FIT" in Out"FIT"ting with Ryan Gentry and Cole Johnson
Black Horn Guide Services is a no-nonsense hunting outfitter/guide service that specializes in providing intense outdoor hunting experiences for adventurous appetites. Regardless of your hunting experience, Ryan Gentry and Cole Johnson will teach you things in the field and will push you to your limits. Entering their first year in business, these two entrepreneurs are dedicated to helping people make the most of their fortune AFTER they draw a big game tag in New Mexico. This outfit isn't interested in helping hunters manipulate their draw odds or buy their way to the front of the line. Black Horn Guide Services believes the opportunity to pursue publicly held wildlife on public lands should be equally accessible to all, regardless of wealth or land-ownership status. These opportunities are becoming increasingly hard to draw. When you draw, maximize that rare opportunity by entering the field with true experts who know and value the privilege you have been afforded.
Having met on Otero Mesa, these public land appreciators know the value of protecting and preserving our collectively owned, federally managed, public lands. Southeast New Mexico is home to the Permian Basin and Cole Johnson makes much of his living working in the oil and gas industry. Cole and Ryan both recognize that certain places should be managed for priorities other than energy extraction. Cole also derives income from having robust wildlife on public lands so he can take hunters out to pursue adventures in those places. Clearly, Otero Mesa is special and deserves special protections. These two hunting guides are intriguing, entertaining, and definitely inspiring. This conversation goes all over the place from elk to turkey to deer, pronghorn, moose, ibex, barbary sheep, trail cameras and whether or not we should be allowed to hunt with scoped muzzleloaders in primitive weapon seasons. We discuss adding Black Bear, Javelina and Mountain Lion to the wanton waste statute in New Mexico so edible portions of those animals must be removed from the field. NMWF is honored to have spent this time with these amazing hunting guides, and we truly hope you enjoy the listen!
