These hunts are only offered in Game Management Units 10, 51, and 52. While unit 10 offers only bow hunting, all weapon types (rifle, muzzleloader, and bow) can be used in units 51 and 52. These hunts are designed for those hunters who are looking for a quality hunt, feel confident about hunting elk on their own, do not need a guide to accompany them in the field, and don’t want the hassle of having to bring and set up a camp.
The units that we hunt can be described as follows:
Unit 52 is located in North Central New Mexico, with Colorado as its northern border. This unit is approximately 300,000 acres in size and is a roadless/wilderness area that prohibits off road vehicles and off road traffic of any type. The area has numerous open roads within the unit, often two to three miles apart, which allows the hunter access to areas to hunt on foot. This unit has an excellent elk population and the number of hunters is controlled, as opposed to most of Colorado’s public land units. The odds of drawing a license are excellent with the outfitter number. Bow hunts can be combined with a mule deer hunt.
Unit 51 is located directly below Unit 52 in North Central New Mexico and is approximately 380,000 acres (594 square miles). The use of four wheelers is allowed on any designated road or for the retrieval of harvested game within the majority of the unit. This unit offers the hunter easy access, an excellent elk population, and limited hunting pressure. The unit usually offers almost a 100% opportunity to draw a license with the use of the outfitter number. We continually have high hunter opportunity in these units.
Unit 10 is located south of Grants, New Mexico and is on the north end of the Gila range. The use of four wheelers is allowed on any designated road or for the retrieval of harvested game with the majority of the hunt. This unit offers hunters easy access, a good elk population, and limited hunting pressure. The unit allows for a 100% draw of bow tags with the use of the outfitter number.

• The Self-guided hunts includes: the use of the outfitter number for drawing a license, accommodations in a main tent camp, meals, a person in camp with maps, knowledgeable of the area, to direct the hunter to good areas, and retrieval of game animal.
• The Hunter is responsible for: applying for the license. The odds of drawing these licenses are excellent with the use of the outfitter number (application assistance is available), personal gear, weapon, transportation to and from camp and during the hunt.
