You don't need to waste money on a outfitter....apply for unit 2b (Carson Nat'l Forrest)in New Mexico, it borders the Jicarilla Indian Res. Get yourself a good handheld GPS that has that region downloaded onto it, and seek out the water holes, and sit them in the evenings. In the morning find a fence crossing onto the Jicarilla (DO NOT CROSS ONTO THE JICARILLA WHATEVER YOU DO) but once it starts getting light, those Elk will filter back onto the Indian Res. because they know it's "safer" over there. Trust me it works, between me my Dad and brother 2 elk were killed and 2 missed. It took us 2 1/2 days to figure all this out, but once we did, it was pretty much like clockwork. PM me if you want, my brother lives in New Mexico, I am sure he would meet up with you and take you to those locations mentioned above.
