Finally pulled a NM Elk tag for the Gila. I probably don't need to but I will state the obvious this is a tag that many put in for and dream of. I feel greatly fortunate for drawing this tag and am excited at the prospect of all the trials, tribulations and excitement that will ensue.
I am planning on making multiple scouting trips down to set up trail cams and learn the country. A couple years ago I drew an archery deer tag for the 16's and my plan was to use that as a scouting trip for the elk tag that I would draw in the future. In all of the scouting I did for that hunt it seemed that 16C was void of deer so I spent all of my time in A, B and D so long story short I have no experience in 16C and would love any info or tips guys would be willing to part with on the country or critters.
I am a lifelong elk hunter and its in my blood so if anybody wants to talk about Colorado elk hunting cause that is where I have done most of my elk hunting I would be more than willing to share and swap info so feel free to pm me. I still have the contact info for the biologist and wildlife manager for the area so I am going to add that to the research for the upcoming months.
Good luck to all who drew tags and to all future draws.
