Bulls are often vocal as the rut winds down during the month of October. We typically spend the morning stalking bugling bulls and the afternoon and evenings glassing. It is not unusual for us to have success calling in big bulls during the muzzleloader hunts. If the elk are not bugling, this becomes a typical spot and stalk elk hunt. Expect to cover a lot of country on this hunt. Hunters should arrive in good shape and ready to walk up to several miles each day. Average shots are 150yds, but hunters should be prepared to shoot out to 200yds. Shooting opportunity has been 90% over the last 10 seasons. Beginning in 2023, scopes will no longer be allowed on muzzleloaders in NM.
