I had very good success (thanks to my brother) hunting New Mexicoin the Carson Nat' Forrest along the Jicarilla Indian Res. on a DIY hunt, basically find a water source, and your in. unless it happens to rain EVERYDAY and ALLDAYthe first 5 days of bow season(2 years ago). But these are more rewarding in my opinion then say, a guided hunt, no pressure, just relax and enjoy your surroundings. Good Luck.
