Against my better judgment, I decided to pull the trigger on a leftover coues tag. Will be nice to get to be in the mountains at least. Just wondering if anyone has hunted the unit and has any advice? Mostly looking for how to keep safe with all the illegal activity. I have hunted coues with a bow 2 years ago in the burros and I know how tough they are but maybe with the more open terrain I can see a few more this year. Thanks for any advice!
 
As far as the illegals just be sure to not have any concrete work and they will leave you alone. You are a 1000 times safer down there than you are in Albuquerque, Roswell, or Las Cruses.
 
Fair question. I've hunted 27 for many years and switched units due to some very intense situations the last 2 seasons. I have spent some time in Cruces, Rosewell and Albuquerque as well and I have yet to run into guys packing AR15s. It's a real concern if running into armed individuals in the midst of illegal activities worries you. If it doesn't then no worries like RattleSnake just said.
