Elk

Most of our elk hunting is between 7,500 and 10,000 feet.  We conduct elk hunts in southern New Mexico units 34 and 36, both are excellent locations.  Taking bigger elk normally requires more walking.  Unit 34 offers more drivable roads and is generally lower in elevation than 36.  In unit 36 we hunt the edges of the wilderness and vehicle access is more restricted.  Unit 36 offers more consistent and predictable hunting.

In both units, weather permitting, we rely heavily on spotting with high quality optics to determine exactly which bulls we want to pursue.  After evaluating our options we drive to the closest point of departure and hunt on foot.  We are good elk callers, but we don’t rely heavily on calling because elk tend to get call shy after the bow hunters interact with them for 3 weeks.  There are lots of elk in both units.  We usually cape and bone out the elk where they fall.  Then pack them out in frame-type backpacks.  

 100% opportunity to shoot during more than 40 elk hunts conducted since 1997.  Nearly half took home 6 x 6 bulls (or better).
