Like most states, NM elk hunts can vary from wide open spaces to clubbing range, so tactics obviously change with the draw.
I prefer spot and stalk type hunts but play the draw odds and take a tag where I can get it.
That said, the majority of our elk have been killed lately with 50 cal ML, .243 Win and .308 Win.
Had intentions of killing one this year on a spot and stalk type hunt with a 6.5 Creed but pulled a dumb ass move and missed an opportunity at the the bull I was trying to kill.
