I drew a elk New Mexico unit 16c what kind of bulls would a guy see there. I know its hunting and all that. thanks
 
if its 300 inches i would be shooting, actually if you can get in range of one with antlers. I would shoot it. Tough hunt brother, but still hunting. Yeah there are phantom monsters that come out of there, but unless lightning strikes you, you'll be lucky to harvest, just look at the statistics, they say it all. One year archery harvest was 9%.
 
I hunted this unit last yr second archery. We saw bulls well over 300 inches but getting close enough w bow is a diff story. The elk seem to do diff things everyday and move around a lot. Not overly responsive to calls either.
 
I have hunted 16C a few times, and saw plenty of bulls well over 300"!! Depends on what hunt you have, but either way, you shouldn't have a problem finding the elk!!
 
I had arcery 16b 3rd season last year and hunting 16c third season this year, I think this hunt will also be good.
 
Don't listen to all the negitive talk. If you scout you will find them. Lots of them too. In my "area" (I am not sharing info) I see 5 to 6 bulls a day with at least one 300". I also see one or two over 350" each hunt. If you are seeing other hunters you are in the wrong spot is all I'll say. I am just counting the days till my boys are old enough for the youth rifle hunt there. I have no doubt they will take bigger bulls than I ever have on that hunt being it is a rifle hunt a peak rut.
