Looking for a little advice. My father and myself would like to hunt bull elk in 2013 or 2014. He will be 68 in late 2013 and I'm 46. I have hunted elk in Idaho(unit10A), New Mexico(unit15) and both of us have hunted Az.(unit10)he has also hunted Co. We are looking for a do it yourself expirence. We are not after trophy animals, I would just like for Dad to be able to say he has killed a bull elk. We are in Okay shape and feel we could hunt as high as 10,000ft. The permitting process seams to get more difficult every year and I have not followed it since 2003 so I'm a little out of it. We would love to hunt unit 15 in NM but it looks like very long odds. Is there anything out there similiar with a little better odds?? Thanks
 
You won't find the quality of unit similare to NM 15 as an easy draw. You will be hunting OTC, General or 1-2 point units. In other words low quality and possibly low quanity too depending on state/weapon/season.

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?
 
In new mexico The 16's are probably out of the question and 15 is probably to 12 and 13 are getting a lot better quality but there isnt a rifle hunt there but try 36 or 37 draw odds in 37 are better and the governor tag bull was shot there in 2011-12. If not the northern units would probably be your best bet 48 is an easy draw to descent amount of animals you will have to lower your standards though
