This is only my second year hunting big game in NM, and this year i pulled UNIT 51 for Elk/Rifle. Had a buddy that archery hunted down there last year and stuck around the Canjillon area. I was just wondering if there are any other 'good' areas in that unit that are worth looking into. (not trying to steal anyones spot/honey hole) just wondering. I've been up in that area a little, went camping up there last year..... I've heard that the area North of Canyon Plaza is a decent spot. Any suggestions are appreciated and you dont have to give me your honey holes... just a general idea would be nice. Also can you camp north of Canyon Plaza anywhere?

Ps. i also have a deer tag in Unit 31 and i got my ORYX tag this year!!
 
Unit 51 rifle hunt is a zoo!! After the first rifle hunt the elk all go to private. Get as far as you can away from the zoo of hunters and you might stand a chance. Archery is a whole different story than rifle. To me the only decent rifle hunts are the first bull hunt and the late muzz hunt
