Trying to decide where to apply for elk tags this yr. I'm thinking about NM or AZ or MT?

Anyone been and want to share their stories?? I've never been and don't have a clue.

Any good guides with huge bulls??

When my son was 13 I ask him if he would like to take a special trip somewhere to make a life time memory. Kind of to my surprise he said he wanted to go elk hunting with a bow. I thought that would be great so after getting moms permission we booked through cabelas with the quinlan ranch in Chama NM. The have a 17 k acres spread and we were in elk every day. Guides were great. Everything was super. We had multiple set ups each day on bugling elk. We both shot elk mine was a 6x6 that scored 306. My son got a 5x5 the last night on a water hole but had a real real close opportunity on a giant in the 375 range our guide called in from a mile away. It was
intense. My son passes a shot at that elk at 45 yards and
at 25 yard for ethical reason. I could not have been
prouder of him. By the way getting any elk with a bow at
14 is pretty good. Chama is the place to go in my mind.

Lots of great spots but this one was awesome. Hope to go back one day but it was not a cheap trip. Cabelas really helped hook us up. Having a good guide is key for a new bee too. Good luck.

I have a buddy that guides in NM. Can't remember the place but Ted Turner owns it. The 2nd largest contiguous piece of land in the continental US. I thin he told me a bull tag during the rut is 15K......
