Honestly, you’d be looking for a 22 or 23 hunt at this stage of the game. That assumes you are after bulls. There’s still time to shop for a 21 cow elk hunt, if Lady Luck shines on you.
Yes, 2022. I could get a Oct 15th hunt but really wanted to do late Sept early Oct to hunt the rut. Those hunts were all taken. Oct 15 was the only one left. North central NM.
