NM Road Access Help

[BGNRSLK]

Still under the FNG rules but I had some questions purely about road access for my upcoming hunt. It’s in one of those fairly popular NW units for the January archery season….. I can be specific in a PM as to not break rules.

I have both GoHunt and OnX for mapping. I have not made contact with a game warden or anything like that yet for the unit but if someone could assist with that I would appreciate it. Have not been able to scout as i am a resident but military so currently out of state.

Due to a combination of “conservation closures” and oil and gas roads being locked I just want to get an idea of what is actually drivable and not.

Feel free to reach out if need be. Any help is appreciated.

You can drive any road until you come to a locked gate or a closure area. If a gate is left open don’t drive in! You may not get back out. Hunting is usually better in January if you walk behind the gates or even a little ways off a road. There has been a lot of activity in a few certain areas so don’t expect to find much there. You will know that area once you get here pretty quickly.

Good tips, are the “closed” gates marked well or is it hit or miss?

Any chance you know the weather/road conditions there currently? Can only tell so much from the weather app.
