oz31p Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Has anyone ever done this hunt Or even been successful. has anyone ever seen elk within the boundary. I am just trying to find a way to get a little more meat in the freezer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted September 10, 2012 I would look into colorado OTC hunts or a landowner cow tag in NM, they can be had for a couple hundred bucks. You'll spend more in gas going back in forth up to the verde valley multiple times then it'll take to just drive out to NM and smoke a cow. That being said, they do kill a few elk on those hunts, but I think it's a tough hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted September 10, 2012 I think you may be right.. i have 3 months to kill till my dads late cow hunt. I may just focus on coyotes. I have seen elk just outside the boundary for this hunt a few years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
verdehunter Report post Posted September 10, 2012 It can be a very tough hunt unless you get lucky or have local knowledge of the area. There are a few locals who kill every year, but not many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHUNTER Report post Posted September 11, 2012 I knew a guy that gave hotair ballon rides in the Verde Valley and he said he was surprise to see so many elk in the area? But like they mentioned above the locals get them every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reganranch Report post Posted September 11, 2012 I think G and F does not list a hot air ballon as a means of taking wildlife through a vehicle,aeronautical vector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
