New Mexico Guided Elk Hunts in Unit 16A, Unit 16D, Unit 16C
The Gila hunts are some of the best elk hunts in the world – but they are also some of the hardest to draw elk hunts in the state of New Mexico. However, you’re never going to get to hunt this incredible area unless you apply or buy landowner tags. The beautiful Gila National Forest of New Mexico is a mix of open cedar, juniper flats and ponderosa pine forest. Hunting in unit 16A or 16D in the Gila never disappoints! In these areas we specialize in trophy guided elk hunts, in unit 16A, unit 16D and unit 16B. Most of the bulls that we take in this area score 320+ and you will likely have the opportunity to both see and harvest bulls in the 340-360 class or even bigger. There are few landowner tags in this unit; advance planning is required if you are looking for landowner tags here. Drawing a tag in the Gila is the most affordable way to hunt these incredible units.
