Sorry for not getting back for a bit.
My hunting has been in the Gila Wilderness near the Nat'l Monument north of Silver City, the Leupold wilderness in what they call the Black Range, plus I think Unit 16 to the south of Reserve and down toward Glenwood.
If you're north of there and Luna, afraid I can't help much.
The area south of Reserve and up against the state line has some nice deer, but lots of hunters. The elk hunters have usually got the deer pretty well spooked by deer season.
The Gila Wilderness and the Leupold Wilderness areas have nice quantities of deer, but you have to pack in to really get at them. Been several years since I've hunted over there, so don't know what the crowds are like.
