Dec./New Mex./ Elk Hunt Help Needed

[Bonecrusher78]

I've never been elk hunting and I'm looking at a Dec. trip. Any idea about the weather there at that time? What type of hunting apparel should I bring? Really cold gear? Kinda cold gear? Snow gear? What about boots? Any help would be appreciated.

It snows and gets cold in the NM mountians. Dress very warm and be ready for anything. Good luck.

I have hunted NM for the last 2 years (once in Nov and another in Dec)and am going again this Nov. In the past, I hunted in snow both times. Temps were below 32 in the AM, but warmed during the day. I guess the best advice is to dress for both cold and snow. You can always take stuff off. And have some good insulated waterproof boots.
Good Hunting,
Hal
