Elkextreme, do you know anything about unit 50? I have hunted unit 15 the past three years and this year I was thrown to unit 50 as part of my 4th choice this year. I could probably help you out in hopes you could do the same. I killed a bull in 15 last year also.

I drew unit 42 as my fourth choice and I've never hunted this unit before. Is there anyone that has hunted this unit with a bow that could help me out in places to check out? I saw the map shows a good part of the unit being private. If there is anyone that could help with private access that...

I don't understand how you guys think it's ok to hunt private? It says right at the top of the proclamation for unit 5a that it is for public land only. Private land access with a public land tag is not an option in this unit.

It said Jicarilla right on their truck... Pretty sure it was.

Yes law enforcement does setup in that area. About 10 years ago I actually got pulled over by a Jicarilla police. In front of me they had just pulled over someone else for drinking and driving on Jicarilla land. The gate at Ojito was recently closed so the BLM land north of there is not...

>Thanks for the advice! Yeah look into the maps some and I can too so that I can give you a general area of where to focus your efforts. What time of year is your hunt?

I grew up hunting 5A and the land owner route will not take you far. The public land is checkerboarded through out the unit and it comes down to whether the neighboring ranches are pushing the elk into public land or not. This makes hunting difficult. If I remember correctly, 5A is a unit that...

Yes it did sound fishy. If that's the case, wouldn't say this back door could possibly be false?

I'm a NM resident that attached on a group app. We have a license number next to the app number however the license numbers are not similar or in succession. Sounds kind of funny to me being that if we drew, we would have license numbers very similar except one digit. Can anybody shed any light...

I live in NM and I went out shed hunting last weekend in an area I know there are quite a bit of elk running around but I had no luck finding any sheds. Has anybody in NM been finding fresh sheds as of yet? In the past I've waited till I absolutely couldn't anymore before I went out looking...

Bushcreek I've hunted there a few times and been in the area a lot. Going along with foghorn it depends on the ranch. Do you know the name of the ranch you will be hunting on?

I was curious if anybody knew how this may work but does attaching your application to another decrease your odds at drawing? What I read on the g&f website is that for every application number there is a sequence number. So if you attach, every hunter on the app share the same app and sequence...

Sneekey I'm going to do a euro mount. My brother actually got bugged at me that I wasn't going to do a shoulder mount. I'm only going to do a full shoulder mount if I get lucky enough to kill one of those big boys that they say run around there.

Hey sneekey thanks again for all your help. There were a lot of people that helped me with just getting ready for this hunt as it was my first muzzeloader hunt. So before I go in telling my story I just wanted to thank sneekey again for all his help with bullets to encouragement, my buddy Robert...

I'm headed out to 15 next weekend for the last muzzeloader hunt and it's the first time I've been out there at this time of the year. I always hunt the bow hunts but because I had knee surgery this year, I had to wait and hunt later in the year. I was just hoping any of you guys could just help...
