Purchasing a Landowner Tag or Voucher For Elk Hunting in New Mexico's Unit 51

In New Mexico, landowner tags help property owners control elk hunting on their land. These tags are given out based on the size of the land and the elk population, allowing landowners and their guests to hunt on their property. Such a system is instrumental in managing hunter numbers, ensuring sustainable elk hunting practices, and supporting wildlife conservation.

 

When hunters purchase a landowner tag or voucher, they can get into some of the best hunting spots in New Mexico, like Unit 51. These tags let bow hunters avoid the usual lottery system and go straight to hunting cow and bull elk in this popular unit during the archery season. This method supports nature and fair hunting on all types of land. If you want to purchase an archery tag for elk hunting in Unit 51, contact Hunters Domain.
