    NM unit 13 late November muzzy

    I have never hunted it during archery season. So don’t have any info in that regards. However if you draw the tag I would be willing to give you what general info I have that could help you on your hunt.

    New Mexico youth hunt

    Yes, it was a great and fun experience with my son we spent 3 days hunting no bucks seen on the hunt. We saw probably a dozen doe and fawns and couple bull elk. Many coyotes and found a few arrow heads.

    Highest elevation you’ve killed elk at

    I’ve killed only two elk out of a total of five elk hunting trips. First one killed at 11,000 ft. The 2nd one was killed at 11,300 ft. Six years later and approximately 400 yards away from where the first one laid 6 years earlier. Pic of packing my first bull of the mountain.
