I posted this in the new mexico state section, but thought it may draw more eyes in the general elk section.
I finally drew a unit 9 first muzzleloader - even though it isn't a top notch unit it took several years to draw. The reason I put this as a third choice is that I hunted it in 2008 and am slightly familiar with the area. I put in alone as no one else had the money for the tag - actually I had to borrow the money to apply, especially with all the draws going on at that time. Regardless, I will be alone, and though I went alone in 08, for a quality hunt, I would prefer to atleast share a base camp with someone, for the obvious reason of safety, but equally as much for comraderie. As mentioned I have a small amount of knowledge of the area and took a decent 260ish bull on the second day of that hunt, but would appreciate some company. I do have all my gear as well as a wall tent, so sharing a campsite and conversation over a campfire would be fine, I am not asking if someone can babysit, guide, or even lodge me - but if you do have room in a tent camper, etc., that would be a bonus as I wouldn't have to bring my entire truckload of gear and could possibly fly. If anyone is interested you can email at [email protected], or PM me here. Thanks, and good luck to all that drew.
