I would like to take my son to New Mexico for elk hunting in early October next year, 2022. We have both taken 5x5 bulls on DIY hunts but would like to have a chance at something a little larger. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I guided on property that shared fence lines with them 20+ years ago. Lot of good bulls there back then. I hated guiding in the oak brush but we always found our clients their bull. Some of them had really large bodies. One we got out whole weighed 655 at the butcher with internals removed- hide and head still on. Biggest elk I have ever seen and had to be 900+ on the hoof.
