16a accessibility

[nmhuntr]

I drew a hunt in 16a and I was wondering how accessible it is for a lifted travel trailer. Are camping spot easily found?

Thanks

Access is not a problem at all. I had a 16A tag last year and saw lots of travel trailers as well as a few motor homes. BTW, what season did u draw?

I drew the October MB rifle hunt 12-18 October

Reminds me of a state park with camping spots every few miles. Roads are pretty decent too.

I ended up with a 16A late season rifle tag and was wondering about accessibility as well.

A couple questions for the forum:

Is there a need for an atv to get off the road to get closer to the "good stuff?"

Does the area lend itself to glassing from a distance?

I understand the forest service will announce the new travel management plan in a few months. It won't affect this years hunt. The last thing I want is to walk in being aware of noise, wind direction etc, have my target in sight only to have someone ride in on an ATV and mess it up. I guess it is allowed but the reason the Good Stuff is where it is I believe is because people don't drive in there. Off road for game retrieval I get and don't have a real problem with.

I completely agree with this. My experience in Wyoming camping and sleeping 5+ miles away from the private land we could hunt made the question come up in my mind.
