Hunted adjacent to it on the old East Moreno ranch. I was a Scout and visited Philmont my senior year of HS and swore to myself I'd go back some day...and did.

To hunt Philmont you had to be connected in some way with Scouting...I have no idea if this is still a requirement. My elk hunting partner got to hunt it a few years ago (he was connected) and got a nice 320 bull.

The East Moreno ranch owned the western half of Baldy mountain to the peak and I hunted that area extensively. Good territory! Lots of elk. Nice views up there and brought back good memories of my climb up Baldy in 1975. EMR has now been sold to the Sandia Pueblo tribe.

I'd go if you had the chance.
