This will be my first time putting in for a elk tag and if I am lucky to draw first time hunting them. I am wondering if it would be better to do a archery hunt or try for muzzleloader or rifle tag. I will be hunting in NM. Odds are better to try and draw for a archery tag but I feel like I might have more success for my first trip if I go muzzleloader or rifle.
Opinions????
