I'm still in shock myself. I drew the second season archery tag also. I spoke to a friend of mine who hunted the unit with a rifle in October last year. He shot a 365 bull that had 12 inches of eye guard missing, they guessed the bull would have scored in the 380's. He said you don't need a guide as there are guy's from the preserve that are out in the field to help as far as pointing you in the right direction as to where the elk move and bed down and feed and all of that. He said everyone is really nice and helpful. The other thing he said is that if for some reason the area you select doesn't have a number of bulls in it, that on the second or third day of the hunt they will put you in a unit with good anumals. He said hunting there is like stepping back in time 100 years, he was so excited talking to me about the area. He said to take a camcorder because you'll see more big bulls than you've ever seen in your life. They rough score your bull when you leave, once you've filled out you have to leave and can't go back in, he shot his bull the first evening of the first day, he said he wished he would have waited but he couldn't pass up the bull he took. He did see a couple of bulls that were at least 400 inches. He said you can't camp in the preserve, there are areas just outside on forest land to camp or you can try to get a room at the La Cueva Lodge which is just 15-20 minutes outside of the main entrance. He said they open the gate at 5:00 am every morning and that they will even come and help you get your bull out with horses or game carts. He said you can take one guest with you and that for $100 a day you can take an additional person. I think the phone number is 505-829-3300. Good luck to you, I'll see you on the mountain.
