INFO: Elk Hunting in New Mexico Unit 21A
Much like in other units, rut activity during the first archery season is low. Hunters have had success using the spot and stalk method, and by setting up near watering holes. By the time the second archery season comes around, the rut will be in full swing. Now is the time to take advantage of calling the bull in toward you. When the late-season hits, elk will have moved down into lower elevations. Set up in areas that are remote and that have dense coverage, as the elk tend to hide there as the snow begins to fall.
