As a resident I’ve put in for deer since 2004 and elk since 2010 drawn deer most years and elk 6 times. Barbary once out of 7 years. Been applying for ibex, oryx, antelope for 7 years and nothing.
Nice tag! Fellow carlsbadian here lol. We hunted 6c last year and hunted the edges of the caldera. Those elk know the boundary for sure! We watched elk out in the caldera everyday. Should have a great hunt. Not sure on access. Pm me and I can give you what I know from watching them from 6c.
