elkman Report post Posted June 24, 2007 well i didn't draw an elk tag again. Suprise suprise, do they usually have left over tags in any of the western units. I did however draw a 16 deer tag. I have killed a couple of bucks in there in the past but havn't been in there in years. Anyone taken anything decent in there in the past? We hunted the wilderness in the past and plan to pack in there for the hunt. Good luck to all. Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesSlayer Report post Posted June 24, 2007 What elk hunt did you try for? I have seen some monster bucks in powderhorn while looking for elk, one nice buck was about 28 inches or so with two kickers. Is it a rifle or bow hunt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a rifle or bow hunt? I put in for 16 & 15 archery. i usually draw one of those tags every year but not this year. The deer hunt i drew is rifle. WE were planning on packing into the wilderness, but not sure. Do they generally have any leftovers for elk any where. Archery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesSlayer Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Not sure, any leftover tag in NM definitely won't be quality. But if you are just looking to get out I'm sure something will turn up, especially for archery. Maybe give the department a call. I have gotten skunked on 16 for the last two years, I just got lucky this year somehow. Any sugggestions,not areas or anything, just general info. Thanks hope this helped.

CouesSlayer Report post Posted June 26, 2007 I got the third archery hunt in 16b, think it runs september 19-24. That would be awesome if you could help me out on that. I just need to find a good group with some bulls that will be screamin'. Im sure you will find some pretty good bucks you just need to walk or ride. Thanks a lot!
