Any packers for hire near Questo? Taos?

[npaden]

I drew an Urraca WMA elk tag for Oct 29 - Nov 2 and am trying to line up a packer so I can be a little lazy and not have to haul a bull out from way back if I'm successful. Using a packer last year in Unit 36 got me spoiled.

Anyone know of any packers in that area? I've contacted the few outfitters that advertise in the area, but they all seemed to want me to hire them as a guide and not as a packer.

I really feel that I can effectively hunt the area on foot, it would just be nice to have a packer lined out if I end up with a bull on the ground 4 miles from the road.

Last chance for a nonresident to hunt the WMA's so I'll be willing to share any information I gather with anyone in the future.

Thanks in advance, Nathan
