Unique Rifle/Muzzleloader Elk Hunting Experience in New Mexico Unit 50

New Mexico Unit 50 offers a distinctive hunting experience, particularly for those with a rifle or muzzleloader. This unit, sprawling across 587,000 acres, presents a mix of terrains and environments where elk can be strategically pursued, especially when you possess a landowner tag or voucher. Here's an in-depth look at what makes cow elk hunting in Unit 50 exceptional:

  • Diverse Topography and Vegetation: Unit 50's landscape varies from mountains and foothills to lower elevations dominated by pinyons and junipers. As hunters ascend to middle and higher elevations, they encounter dense stands of ponderosa pines and oak brush, providing varied habitats for elk and enhancing the hunting challenge.
  • Water Sources and Hunting Tactics: While hunting near water sources has been fruitful in past archery seasons, rifle and muzzleloader hunters find success employing spot and stalk methods, particularly away from main roads where elk seek refuge in areas with dense vegetation.
  • Wildlife Quality and Hunting Success: The unit boasts a promising elk population, with an average quality of 270"—300" and trophies exceeding 310". Despite a 20% success rate during the rifle/muzzleloader season, patient hunters can find rewarding opportunities supported by a bull-to-cow ratio of 38:100.
  • Access and Navigation: The unit is predominantly public land with well-maintained gravel and dirt roads. While four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended for off-road ventures, hunters should use maps to distinguish between private and public lands, ensuring legal access to hunting areas.
  • Weather Conditions: November brings ideal hunting weather, with average highs of 49°F and lows of 26°F, a 12% chance of rain, and steady 13MPH winds, creating suitable conditions for hunters.
  • Adding to the convenience for hunters, the nearby city of Taos, NM, offers lodging and other essential amenities, making it a strategic base for hunting expeditions in Unit 50.
