Dave: Unless the position your lookin at is a once in a life time offer, I'd stay in
Alamogordo. San Antonio is a huge city with it attendant crime and taxes. I live 70 mils due West off I10. Is a nice laid back town of 20,000,plus more when the snow birds arrive for the winter. Same problem here with hunting.I'd rather spend more and hunt WYo, MT, Nebr, with some friends and split the cost. Watch the evening news and all your hear about is shootings, stabbings, car theft, drug deals gone awry, etc. El Paso where I lived for 33 yrs is basically the same and is fast becoming a 2d San Antonio if not already there.I left the demoralizing place 9 yrs ago. Randolph AFB is one of the cleanest military bases I have ever been on and I am retired military. Yes there are ranges and the cost in some areas is petty costly, plus a range fee each time you shoot. If you were raised in Texas then perhaps thru HS/College friends you might have a place to hunt. Ranchers/Farmers have no qualms about high leasing costs. Fine for those who can afford it, were raised in States ike Texs with little or no public lands. Take care and enjoy the cool Mts of Cloudcroft.
