Elk

Hunt EK835

UNIT 17 NEW MEXICO
PRIMITIVE WEAPON UNIT
5-DAY ELK ONLY $3500
New Mexico has decreased the number of non-resident elk tags making it more difficult to draw, but hunters shouldn’t get discouraged and continue to put in for these trophy tags.

     This hunt has produced an archery bull scoring over 400 inches and muzzleloader bulls over 350 for only $3,500 and drawing odds are typically over 20% (up to 4 hunters can apply together).  This unit in the Cibola National Forest located in southwest New Mexico can only be hunted with archery gear or muzzleloaders, attributing to the quality of bulls taken on this hunt.  Archery has three 6-day hunts, September 1-6, 11-17 and 19 to 24.  Muzzleloader hunters can put in for the first hunt October 13 to 17 or the later October 20 to 24.

     The outfitter provides a very nice tent camp, meals and 2x1 guiding.  Hunters fly into Albuquerque and rent a car.  HCU has had many satisfied customers with this outfitter.  This hunt is definitely worth the application.  April draw deadline.
