Who Else Is Stoked for 2021 Season!?
Just submitted my draw application here in NM for elk, deer, oryx, sheep, and pronghorn. Mostly bowhunts. Im starting to get real antsy about getting out there and just wanted to see what everyone was doing to prepare for this season? Anyone getting in shape, trying out a new scouting method...- amalpine

New Mexico Elk - Unit 52
Hope my bit of beta helped out! It was definitely hard, my hunt came down to the last minute where we set up an ambush above a small wallow and she came running up about an hour before sunset on our last day. Sure you can tell with my pitch black photo after she finally fell after dark! Fun pack...- amalpine

Just to follow up, I ended up buying Elk Hunting the West by Mike Eastman and Backcountry Bowhunting by Cam Hanes, both were useful foundations for giving me an idea of what I needed to do when I got out there. Spending the whole week following a herd, though, was really the learning... -

New Mexico Elk - Unit 52
We're hunting in Cruces Basin for first archery, I can try and give you some pointers later after this week. Just send me a DM later so I remember. We already have some leads, but the hunt will definitely give us a better idea of whats happening this year. Would definitely like to help a brother...- amalpine

New Mexico Unit 51 Archery - First Time Hunter
Hi everyone, I'm a first time elk hunter in New Mexico Unit 51, north of El Rito and west of Tres Piedras. I just drew a Sep 1-14 bow tag and was wondering if anyone had some pointers they would be willing to share about the area. I've done some e-scouting and intend to scout numerous times... -

Thanks, Gila. I will be hunting unit 51 in the north near El Rito. Sep 1-14. Hopefully a good window, if it weren't for that pesky full moon the whole time. Banking on early snow up in CO. -
Elk Resources
Absolutely! I'm planning on making a few trips out here this summer. Conveniently, the unit is right next to an awesome rock climbing crag I can split my time at. I'll take a look into the books, and maybe can find some videos of elk to put on while working form home haha - must be worth something? -
Elk Resources
Hi everyone, I'm a first time elk hunter and just drew a bow tag in New Mexico. I have been doing a ton of research, but being an engineer by profession I'd like to learn a bit more about the elk themselves - figured this would set me up optimally in the field for some good opportunities. I was... -
