Congratulations! I never expected to draw my first choice antelope tag. I am so stoked. I have driven this are on two trips and thought it was just a dream.

Drew the OIL on-range (WSMR) Oryx tag. Rhodes Canyon just after Thanksgiving. I've read most of the hunt recaps I could find online already today and have learned a ton. It seems like this should be a very good, high success hunt which will be a nice change of pace.

I got a antelope tag in one of the NE corner units! I'm also planning to elk hunt near Pagosa Springs, CO in Sept so I may just swing by to do a little scouting!

Please PM me- I just drew one of the best Coues Deer units in NM! Love to learn more about hunting them if you've drawn a good tag. Thank you

I drew a unit in the southeast. It’s going to be interesting hunting antelope in the desert, but I’m stoked to get out there and explore.

Drew nm unit 12 rifle

I'm on the verge of paying high dollar to acquire a New Mexico U12 elk tag first rifle season in Oct. but I have heard a mix review of the health of the herd in that area / unit. I'm not asking for any spot-on info just general elk herd health / numbers that is from the past couple years. Is it worth paying high dollar to hunt private ground in that area. I will be on private ground 5000 acres that only has 1 elk tag available for the first rifle season in early Oct so I will have it to myself with no one else on the property for any reason which sounds great, it will be my first elk trip to New Mexico. I shoot a 7mm Rem. Mag that is very accurate out to 600 on an elk size kill zone. There may be 1 archery hunter on that private ground before me, and I'm good with that. I have heard on this piece of private that they have shot a couple of monsters over the years and the area usually has a healthy herd of 310 to 340 class bulls with a chance at some bigger bulls over the last 8-9 years. Any help to make my decision to pull the trigger on this tag would be very appreciated.
