Out of the youth rifle bull elk hunts in NM which of 16C, 16E, and 23 would be your choice for taking your 13 year old son? The season starts 9 October for the youth hunts. I’m putting 34 as first choice because I’m familiar with that unit. I’m primarily looking at reasonably accessible terrain (foot, ATV, truck) and prioritize quantity over quality, so that it’s a fun hunt where he sees some animals. I appreciate your thoughts, even though it’s a long shot for him to draw a youth tag.
 
My 9 Year old shot a nice cow in 34 last year on that youth tag. We saw hundreds of elk. I would recommend 34. plenty of access. The hunt is crowded with other hunts and people from Texas camping but we managed to get away from the crowds. If you get the tag let me know, i would be more than willing to help.
