New Mexico Unit 16C Elk Hunt
Posted by Darrell under: Elk .
I drew a rifle Elk Hunt in New Mexico’s unit 16C for the week of October 18-22!
I have been applying for a New Mexico elk hunt via Cabellas TAGS for the last couple of years. This year I was drawn! The unit I will be hunting is unit 16C in the Gila National Forest in the SW part of the state.
I’ve already hired an outfitter through Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures, Inc. I’ll be hunting with Wade Johnson Outfitters. I have every intention of fully documenting and writing about this trip on the blog.
If anyone has any experience in unit 16C, hunting the Gila National Forest, or with Wade Johnson Outfitters, I’d love to hear from you!

Nice! Elk hunting is my passion - I’m thrilled because we’re only about a month away from opening day here in Oregon.

Amazing job. I tell everyone you have to apply to get these amazing tags… It is just not luck!
Good luck and glad to hear you were one of those drawn.

Way to go Darrell. I’m on my third year waiting for a bear permit here in Michigan. From what I’ve heard you’ve drawn a great unit. Can’t wait for your elk hunting blogs.

That’s great!! Are you archery or rifle? Will it be during the rut yet? I know of a local hunter who came back from a New Mexico bow hunt with a set of Elk hardware that filled the back of his truck box. I’m not sure of the area but I do believe his tag was through Cabela’s also. Good luck and look forward to reading about your hunt.
