Hey hunt talkers. I have the 125 type 1 tag which is good 10-1 -12-31. due to some unexpected family obligations arising i will not be able to hunt the Oct 1 opening week as i had planned. The tag is good all the way to Dec 31, so my question for you guys who know the elk habits in the unit is...
thanks for the responses. So if i understand correctly the only public access point is the far northern end of the SWA. nothing on the southern end? (long mtn area)
So I have read Big Fins post about not being able to hunt BLM lands with a regular OTC rifle tag, if that falls INSIDE the Ranching for Wildlife boundries on the TFR, even with a vaild tag for the unit, unless its a RFW tag... It really sucks i know! but it is what it is. So my question is, are...
Yep i sure have... There is absolutely no way into this particular public land without paying hefty trespass fees, or going with an outfitter... Without being to specific about where this exact area is, there has been significant issues with the lack of access to the national forest land, and...
There is an old ranch 2 track running through this section of BLM. And from my research i believe i'm in the clear to land here legally..

Ive done this hunt and will be next door in 23 this yr for the late archery.
If you go into the hunt thinking of it as a poor mans sheep hunt i think you'll enjoy it. The Mogollon rim country is beautiful.
PM me with questions if you'd like.
Thanks cav.. this is exactly the type of info i was looking for. Ill make some calls and try to research deeper on packing in with stock.
Any public access off 294 from the north?
Hey all.. looking for some info on what the pack trails, and the back country of the crazies are like for packing in for an archery elk hunt. Best trailheads to start from, how many miles deep you can ride.. water for the stock.. things like that. Any info is appreciated. (I have my own horses)
The hunters were actually cordial and decent to talk with... it was the outfitter who was acting like we were jerks for being to close to "his" camp... And this is in an OTC unit in Colorado, and finding good bulls in otc units consistently in CO can be very difficult.. and this basin has had...
