Right now I'm much more apprehensive about the steepness than the cold since we've camped in the 20s before. The only other western hunt I've been on was Wyoming antelope last year so I'm just counting down the days until we get there and I am blown away by the size of what I've been looking at...
Thanks for the replies, folks. I'll keep all of those things in mind and maybe try them all in some form while we're there. Looking at the precipitation history for the area, there seems to have been a lot more rain than normal in the unit since January. I have several small, isolated water...
My fiancee and I will be leaving Georgia for New Mexico a week from today for the second rifle season. Having never hunted elk before, I would like to hear what your normal midday activities are.
I'll be letting my optics do the walking for me in the mornings and evenings. I don't really know...
Thanks for the replies everybody. Every module and podcast and youtube video I've seen of Randy talking about the post-rut has me believing my primary goal should be to see an elk, much less kill one! 😆 I'm going to stick to the plan and hope ANY legal bull shows up in my glass at some point...

I will be hunting elk for the first time this Fall in NM Unit 49 (Taos) second rifle. I have seen a few "trick tanks" scattered throughout the state and, being from georgia, am very unclear what exactly these are. I'm assuming they are water collection tanks to support wildlife in dry...
Yeah, I saw that. Their website recommended them to me and asked if I wanted to add them to my cart haha. I almost bit but I've heard so many good things about the instant coffee that I held off for now
SEVERAL months ago I submitted my email on the BRCC website to be notified when their instant coffee sticks became available. They emailed me last night so I figured I would pass the word along in case anyone else has been waiting for them. Cheers.
Well, I suppose it's time to revisit the calling sections of the Elk101 online course and take them a little more seriously. I breezed through them assuming I wouldn't need that information until another year. Thanks again yall
