New Mexico Unit 21 Mule Deer

Just got a left over tag for Muzzleloader deer in Unit 21...Lived in souteast New Mexico All my life and hunted there. Never have over here but I go to school at NMSU and figured this might be alright. Just wonderin if anybody out here has hunted this unit and might be curtious enought to point me in a general direction.

Thanks

I just bought the same tag. I rember hunting this unit once when I was going to school at state. We came acrosss some nice bucks, but we couldn't get close enough or a good shot (with a rifle). Good country though. That was at least 12 years ago...

don't go near Glenwood, you will be in the area of units 22,23, and 16B...i have seen some deer in 21A but they are few and far between...i met a guy from Cruces while elk hunting that hunted the blm lands south of NM52 to Winston...also, i hear red mountain north of winston is decent (probably lots of pressure and be aware of all the private land)...you can try the areas around Hermosa and the roads leading into the forest around Choride...usually when im out there i see bucks that are alone...only once did i see two bucks together and both were dandys...good luck...

GO AGGIES!!!
