one corner of that unit butts up against the Valle Vidal, which is famous for elk and hardly hunted. Get some maps, and look at the midnight meadows area NE of Red River. Nice camping and great road for access, and although you'll have to do some hiking into that corner (hint), you can access some of the VV border area. There's a TON of elk that come in and out of there. Was into them every day. Also, if you want something different, there's a burn area SE of Questa (barely)....can't miss it. A lot of elk in it too. And finally, the tailings ponds @ Questa............elk there EVERY morning. Have fun. You can kill yourself in that unit, but don't have to.
Might buy a bear tag while you're there, they are very abundant.
