My hunting partner and I got lucky and drew 6c tags. Now I am trying to gather any info I can via online scouting or help from previous tag holders. This is usually not my style but NM is to long of drive for me to scout(22hrs). Any help with the unit will be appreciated good or bad.
My hunting partner and I are both avid outdoorsman from Washington state. We both have done well chasing Roosevelt elk in SW Washington and helping tag holders in some of our best units in the state for Rocky Mountain elk. We know how hard it is to harvest elk and both plan to be in the best shape of our lives leading up to the hunt. Our plan is to bring a enclosed trailer down with us and make that our base camp and spike out from there. Our tag is Sept. 1-14 and we plan to be hunting the whole season.
Some of my more directed questions are:
What are the FS roads like? I drive a 1ton dodge 4x4 that can get stuck pretty easy.
What is the weather like that time of year?
How are the elk numbers in the unit?
Sorry for being that guy I just don't have enough vacation time to scout it since I am hunting the entire season.
Thanks
Mitchell
