NM Unit 27 shameless information request

[jpc01101]

I drew a Dec. rifle whitetail tag for Unit 27. Looking at the unit on OnX the road situation looks rough, tons of public but a lot of the roads say "private road" leading in. Hoping someone on here has some info and would be willing to have a conversation either via phone or PM. I likely won't get a chance to scout much (maybe a day before season starts). I have hunted coues just across the border in 35a in AZ and the terrain looks similar so I feel comfortable that I understand how to approach the "hunt" portion of the hunt. Clearly if you have any honey holes send those OnX pins my way, but some access info would really help a brother out. Thanks!

I'm not mad at all of you...I'm just disappointed

Call the local GW, and county police department. They will be able to help with what roads you can use.

Anytime you’re in NM you should use CarryMap. The roads and ownership information is better than OnX(and it’s free). OnX is easier to view and use offline, so it’s worth having, but consulting CarryMap will help.

^^^^^^

Bump because I added new information to the post after you liked it, and I didn’t want you to miss it.

My Dad is going with me in Dec. I’m pretty excited. Will keep this thread updated as we get closer.

About a month out. Had some luck getting a tag holder list from Huntinfool and got some general info on the unit. Looking forward to glassing up a nice Coues buck. I’m back to solo on this one as Dad backed out.
