shaun.phipps Report post Posted October 15, 2008 I am new to the area and was drawn for a Unit 16 Deer hunt in November. I have never hunted in New Mexico and was just wondering what are the better areas for deer in unit 16 as it is a rather large area. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

yotebuster Report post Posted October 22, 2008 My brother and sister in law drew elk tags for unit 16d last year, is your tag a wt or muley tag? There definitely wouldn't be any whitetail in 16D, which is the far north of the 16's. If anything, I would try the very very south end. We saw some muleys while hunting, but the biggest was probably only a 20" 3 pointer, and we hunted for a whole week. Lotta elk in there, bugled up a 390 bull the night before the season, i know how big he was because a fella killed him the next day within 100 yards of where we saw him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoughCut Report post Posted October 22, 2008 I also have a 16 tag in NM. I am coming from Az and haven't had anytime to scout. I hear there are some monsters in the wilderness areas if you are a hiker. I will be hunting near Reserve as my folks have a cabin there. Unfortunatly I'm not taking it to seriously as gas is so pricey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
