[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2687598, member: 29323"] NM allocates 6% of the draw bull tags for non-residents who are not guided. Unit 34 (which has some cronic wasting disease) had an either sex muzzleloader hunt this year, and lots of elk. Next year Game & Fish is threatening to not allow scopes on muzzleloaders, so if you're willing to shoot a scopeless smoke pole, you have a pretty good chance of getting drawn. I believe lots of NM hunters will not put in if they can't use scopes. Elk are easier to hunt than deer. They are bigger and easier to spot, and run in bigger herds. In October for the muzzleloader hunt they are often still bugling. Buy yourself a good Springbar or Kodiak tent and a catalytic heater and you can outfit yourself. If you get drawn in unit 13, 15,17, 5b, or 34, PM me and I'll tell you where to go. If you have OnX on your phone, it will tell you which ranches get unit wide permits. If they do, they have to allow access on their ranches. As far as packing them out, you have to be in shape, but you don't have to carry out the bones. Get in shape by carrying a pack full of sand or lead shot. Learn the gutless method. Usually in October, it is cool enough to leave the meat out overnight without spoilage. That gives you time to make 3 or 4 trips. I'm 69, and I can still pack out an elk by myself, but I work at staying in shape. You may be able to find locals with horses to pack out your elk. [/QUOTE]
