Right on!
Very good unit it holds large bulls. The great thing is archery elk huntshere in NM are either sex hunts. This unit is in the northern part of NM as you already know, and is very thick in most places so bring a GPS. Don't be to agressive when calling and don't be afraid to us calf calls.

All new? Are you going guided, drop camp or solo?

I've Hunted this unit several times on muzzle loader cow hunts and have take 4 nice cows. Every time I've been in that unit I see at least one large bull and several nice ones. Not sure which part of the unit I'll be concentrating on (very large unit) but I have my thoughts on checking near Datil first. Thats just because it is a little closer to me. As for the pictures you bet I'm going to post them.
