I'd put in for 16F. But, in all seriousness, in some of the Northern Gila units, my experience has been that due to pressure elk will seek shelter on private or on the nastiest of public hell holes after the first rifle or muzzleloader season hunts. In fact, I've seen a herd move miles in a day, crossing from the 16s and into an adjacent unit, just to cross onto a ranch and bed within sight of a road... But, IF you draw a tag and IF you get off the four wheeler trails and hike you will get away from most of our hunters and into animals regardless of season most anywhere in NM.
