Wildlife Wednesday: Preparing for the Hunt
Hunting season is almost here and many New Mexicans are gearing up and making plans to head into the field.
New Mexico offers a wide variety of hunting opportunities, ranging from an autumn stroll in the sunflowers during dove season to week-long, winter pack hunts for deer or elk. But whatever the game, all hunting trips demand proper planning and preparation.
Regardless of what you’re hunting this year, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation’s August “Wildlife Wednesday” event is certain to be of interest. The free event will start at 5:30 p.m., Aug. 13, at Marble Brewery’s Northeast Heights Taproom at 9904 Montgomery Blvd., NE, in Albuquerque.
Our featured speaker is Matthew Fuentes-Tanuz. Born and raised in Albuquerque, he served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including time as a reconnaissance scout sniper. He completed several training schools in mountain survival and other specialties and has earned his jump wings. After leaving the USMC, he worked as a private security contractor at sites including the Middle East, Europe and the Philippines.
Fuentes-Tanuz currently serves in the NM Army National Guard, where he’s on the shooting team and competes in matches representing the state.
In his Wildlife Wednesday presentation, Fuentes-Tanuz will give an overview of how to plan and prepare for the various types of hunts and hunting conditions New Mexicans can expect to encounter. As a trained marksman, he will address hunt preparation and the ethical harvesting of animals.
Fuentes-Tanuz is an owner of the Legacy Ranch, a shooting range facility in Edgewood that includes a sporting clays course as well as rifle and pistol ranges. Beyond his military training, Fuentes-Tanuz has extensive hunting experience.
