At a Glance
This unit is located southeast of Bloomfield and bordering the west side of the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. This unit has low numbers of mule deer, elk, and antelope but good hunting can be found with some patience and a lot of effort.
This area gives hunters a chance to hunt bucks in the early stages of the rut with a rifle, as well as deer that have migrated out of the bordering Jicarilla Reservation and even from Colorado, which is 20 miles away. Mule deer and antelope numbers in this area are low. The archery deer season in January can be good. Look for small herds of elk that can be found in secluded pockets throughout this area.
