Drew a NM Unit 49 elk tag this year. First time in NM. Not looking for your honey hole, willing to do all the work. Would love any insight anyone has as I work through my extensive planning over the summer. If you can give me a few tips/insights that could save me some time/be more efficient it would be appreciated. Planning a DIY hunt. 2nd rifle 10/16 to 10/20. Thanks in advance.

PS: in good shape and willing to get off the beaten path as well, though this will be the highest elevation I’ve hunted to date
 
I drew a Mule Deer archery hunt in that unit as well. I'll let you know what i see or don't see when i get back. the end of September
 
3 years ago I got a fork in 49.
The snow pack was crusty as heck.
Only saw 2 bucks, 9 doe & one 4x4 elk.

The recent fires should impact the area a lot.

I've hunted this unit since 74. Very thick and difficult.

If you have a group try driving to sitters.
