Hello,
After four years of not drawing elk in NM as a resident I finally drew 16E for Elk, Bow, Second hunt. If you are from NM you understand how pumped I am to get anything. I put in for this unit because I heard there can be good bull’s and its a tough hunt. I know its not the best unit in NM but again I just wanted something and I’ll put in the work to fill the tag. However, a lot of the unit looks BLM and State Land but its my understanding that most of the roads have locked gates. We plan on bringing a side by side to get deep into the unit before abandoning it to walk on foot.
If you are willing to share, I would appreciate some information on how to get in the unit through a gate or two. I’m in ABQ and want as much information before heading down there to scout the unit. Plan on going Hwy 60 -> 52 -> 163 entering from the south of the unit. Either to Luero Mountain or Pelona Mountain.
Thanks for the information!
