New Mexico 16B - Foot Friendly?
Not sure about your budget but, $2500 for drop camp and meat pack out in a unit like 16B might be worth a hard look. 16B is a super hard draw in the heart of some of the best elk hunting in the nation. I've hunted it once, we horse packed in 6 miles, were into elk everyday and both my partner... -

NM Unit 34 Late Season
We have been hunting muleys in 34 in the January hunt for the past 13 years. I would look down around Weed to Timberon area and locate water. If the temps are in the upper 40's to 50's it will drive the elk to water. Hope for warmer weather with no snow. It is a tough hunt but a friend of mine...
