Regardless of what you’re hunting this year, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation’s August “Wildlife Wednesday” event is certain to be of interest.
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 specialities 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 will speak on hunting planning and preparation, including how hunters can assess their maximum ethical range for taking shots on game.
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.
