ND2506AI, Buy guided landowner cow tags, in NM. 2x1 would cut down on the cost, and would greatly shorten the learning curve....and increase the odds of actually eating elk meat.

Build points in other states, for an entry level (non-trophy) bull hunt.

Always apply in NM and Idaho, for trophy bulls, where there are no points.

Purchase top of the line hiking boots and great binoculars!
