Does anyone know if you can hunt turkey (non youth) at Bosque Del Apache? or can you only hunt the surrounding areas (outside of Bosque Del Apache) ? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

No Luck unfortunately for my son. We did put feet on the ground and worked the different areas, however we did not spot any bucks or any deer in general. I mean we glassed and glassed and nothing and kept pushing. It was a tough one for sure.

@Looserowel505 @BradA Thank You All!

@sbeard4 Thats a Beautiful bull! I myself harvested this bad boy in 36

My son was lucky enough to draw a unit 17 tag for Deer this month of November. His hunt is coming up here within the week, however we've had some trouble finding bucks in that unit. We've laid boots on the ground for the southern part of that unit focusing around the Monticello area near the San...

Hunting in the snow is a little more of a challenge, but if you can find the roost and there's snow falling you can follow the foot prints.. During heavy storms such as rain and heavy snow they tend to stay on top of the trees! way at the top. Get yourself a crow call. Find a spot that you think...

That is a great story! an amazing buck and I hope your father recovers from all this soon! Good Job.

I've hunted both Units and preferably chose 36 (36 is my backyard) however also love 34. Plenty of elk in both Units. They're like pest at night! All over the place. 34 Is not as steep as 36 unless your hunting around WestSide Rd / High Rolls area. Youll see plenty of elk for sure.

Good Morning! Will be heading out to unit 36 soon ... now I've hunted this unit several years now... however mostly for elk and turkey. Never for Deer...(which by the way are usually always in town) I was hoping to see if anyone else has drawn this unit in the past (deer only) and what was it...

Any one hunted 17 for deer? getting ready to go and scout the area just never been there before... not looking for any honey holes. Just a general area to cover. (is it better to hunt the northern or southern area) if southern should I hunt more of the dry/open land vs getting into the...

Congratulations!

are you wanting hard copies or do you have access to a computer? I usually hit the NM BLM HUNTING MAPS online and they provide very detail maps of whichever unit you need access to and it actually provides features for water etc. I also use google earth and google maps for comparison then if I...

Any cow tags available for 36? Thanks!

jodog - DoeNob - I'm not sure if you guys received my PMs that I sent yall, but Im not asking for any honey wholes or anything but I was actually raised in Ruidoso. I'm very familiar with that area in 36 if you havent received my PMs please Inbox me so that I can share some other information as...

Hello All, I'm hoping you can help me out and shoot me a tip or two on what to do. . Never hunted deer in GMU 34 I'm familiar with the area I've turkey hunted near Mayhill, but never for deer. I've hunted for Elk up Northern New Mexico and Unit 36 near Ruidoso. (I'm from Ruidoso Myself so Im...

IccyMan Thank You for the tips, as far as there being snowlines I can't speak for unit 34 since I haven't been there in a minute however in 36 there are areas were the sun really doesn't shine as much and they hold snow/ice year round which start to form small creeks. live4Muleys - correct I...

Hello Fellas, I've done my share of scouting and getting out to the field, however I have not been so successful at locating birds. I'm not asking for any honey wholes etc. Just wanted some tips on what to look for . . . I am more familiar with Unit 36 and 34. What should I be looking for when...

Just went up there about 2 weeks ago and saw plenty of signs that they're in the area, but only physically saw one bull. I was up there for 2 days near Cowles, NM by the Jacks Creek Campground. What area are you planning to hunt? Pecos? Pe?asco Area? Near Las Vegas?

I have gone hunting for elk in the past near Ski Apache. Saw deer there and also behind Bonito Lake. Hope this helps. Posted some photos below so you can get out there and check the area out. 36 is my backyard I was raised in Ruidoso, NM - you can also try the area behind Ruidoso Downs Race...

Thank You all for this great information I really appreciate it. I was able to go last week for only two days though, but I did some scouting and saw plenty of droppings for elk. I did see 1 elk and it was in the evening kinda right before sunset and couldnt see how many points he had but I...

RioHuntNutt, Thank You Sir, I will definitively have to take a look at the area for sure, Barrias - is that near cowles nm ? or would I have to drive around lil north of Santa Fe? Thanks! the only one im showing on the map is Barrillas Lookout but cant get an exact address/pushpin to locate it...

tonsofguns56, Good Luck bro let me know if you see any signs of elk, thanks!

This year I was lucky enough to draw for a Bull Elk-GMU45, in the Santa Fe National Forest - I've done a little bit of scouting near Cowles, NM but had no luck seeing any elk. I went near Jacks Creek, but didn't have the chance to go deep into the wilderness. Unfortunately I live down in Las...
