Drew 36 tag, second archery sept 15-24th. DIY. Initial map/google earth research has led me to few areas. I would like to basecamp out of Skyline or Oakgrove depending on seasonal availability. Spike into Wilderness area depending on where I find elk with scouting trips planned. Also considering parking my camper at Three Rivers, using it as back up in case I go off of ridge to the west of reservation, then making downhill trek to camper if dark. Considering also hunting around Nogal Peak, using Crest trail and hunting surrounding canyons. Also looking at National Forest east of Ruidoso, north of Glencoe and south of big BLM land/airport. I hear there are elk everywhere and I'm really excited. Just hope I can beat the difficult archery odds of being successful. Considering renting or borrowing mule/pack horse too. I am relatively young and am working on getting in the best shape possible for the difficult terrain. Any suggestions or alterations to my plans appreciated.
