Hey all NM elk hunters,
I drew a 16c NM 2nd season elk tag. I've been scouring maps, Google Earth, Gohunt, anything else I can find that will help with preparing for this hunt. Planning on a couple scouting trips and hunting the entire season if needed. I've spoken with a few guys that have archery hunted this unit and some NMFG people gathering as much info as possible. Sounds like the most popular place to be is in the southern part of the unit. Anyone out there archery hunted here? Would love to hear any stories about anyone's hunt. Not looking for your secret spots, just some info on what to expect as far as terrain, elk #'s, bull quality, hunter #'s etc.
The northern section of the unit looks like it has plenty of access. Does the easy terrain lend itself to heavy hunting pressure?
Please PM me if you can help me out. Really appreciate it!
