mike, where are you gonna be chasing em this year? Congrats.
i got drawn for my third choice (3rd year in a row this has happend!) up in unit 5b south of Chama. how bout you?
just north of the Gila in 15, right next to the Arizona border. I was just in 5B last week digging clay for my pottery studio, elk sign was everywhere. Felt like I was near an elk freeway.
ooohhh!!! I like the sounds of "elk freeway."
i killed a cow elk there last year and a spike bull the year before. so i feel pretty good about it this year. i'm just excited to be able to get out and hunt them.
i've hunted unit 15 several times near cat springs and slaughter mesa. BIG bulls down that way! lots of bears when i was there too :)
good luck!

I got the BIG red "unsuccessful" for the 5th year in a row. But I will keep on trying. I have a friend who has property never Pie Town. I was hoping to meet him there for some RR during the trip.
I drew 52 second season. It will be my first elk hunt and my feet haven't touched the ground since I saw the hit on my credit card.
I struck out in the drawing on 15 and 52.Good luck guys, it's all going good so far by you drawing a tag. Ben
Ben,
Sorry to read this. :pray:
Did your buddy draw a tag in NM?
I struck out too. Maybe next year.
Nothing for this year. No elk, deer or antelope for the son and I. Seriously thinking about an OTC bear tag for the area we usually hunt elk in.
Good luck Mike........
i was unsuccessfull for my draw in NM. may try over the counter tags in colorado. any ideas where?
We had a group tag app.so one couldn't draw without the other. Ben
good luck in CO, Ben :thumbsup:
I struck out as well. Looks like a no hitter for the KC guys. Them "Royal" blues must be contagious!!
Oh well I drew afew tags Elk in the gila ,deer , Ibex and javalinas good luck boys Im going hunting.
snag- ah bummer, i know how it feels to see that big red disappointment. maybe next year eh!
duck- 52 (tres piedras) is a great area! hunted there about 4 years ago. never seen any real big bulls there, but tons of elk!

Do they really need to put the "unsuccessful" in that RED box, seems like they are just rubbing it in.
rick- That is funny!!! fortunately, i only had one big red box; that was for big horn.
16B buddy Im up in Placitas my heart is in the Gila.
My brother drew unti 4 Sargents area. So, I'll be hunting there and here in wyoming for mulies, speedgoats and of course Elk.
I drew an archery elk tag for Unit 48 (south of Cimarron in the White's Peak area) and an archery deer tag for Unit 57 (Raton area.)
Both hunts coincide Sept. 1-22, so hopefully I will have a great story (or two) to post this fall.
Good luck to you other TragGangers with your hunts in NM.
