Mike, I have never hunted the area but I live close by and have been there a lot to fish or weekend get away. I can tell you that there is a ton of wildlife. I've seen elk, turkey, bear and the most deer (mulies) that I have ever seen in my life. Driving around one day down by a lake near one of the country clubs I must have seen 300-400 if not more and tons of nice bucks, even saw some standing on their hind quarters in someones yard eating something off a tree. It was the coolest thing but kinda freaked me out.....they were like locusts. Good area but you have to draw and if you don't live there the license is expensive.

BuckRage is correct. Lot's of game and the elk hunting is above average for New Mexico in units 34/36 but drawing a non resident tag is tough to do.
I've applied every year for the past 12 years and drawn 1 tag in 34. Most landowner elk tags for 34 or 36 run about 3500 bucks. Good Luck, Baker
