Hello,
new to the site but not elk hunting. I have the chance to hunt unit 15 or unit 34 in NM. I don't know to much about 34 (elk numbers, genetics). Everything else being equal except 34 is 5 hours closer where would you go. I am sitting here ready to flip a coin to make my choice. I've spoke to wardens in both areas both give good info on their units but can't compare it with the other. Need some help.

NEVER HUNTED UNIT 34. I HAVE HUNTED UNIT 15 MANY TIME. LOTS OF GOOD ELK THERE. HAVE HEARD SOME GOOD THINGS ABOUT 34. ALSO HEARD LOTS OF POCHING IN THAT AREA. I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE 380 CLASS BULLS IN 15. MOST BULLS I'VE SEEN THERE ARE BETWEEN 290 - 350 CLASS. IF YOUR NOT A HUNTER THAT SITS IN CAMP 70% OF THE DAY A YOU WILL PUT IN THE WORK YOU SHOULD DO FINE.
