New Mexico Primitive Weapons Trophy Elk Hunts # 10 It ’ s no big secret that some of the very best trophy elk hunting in New Mexico ( and the world ) takes place in the primitive weapons units of Southwestern New Mexico . These tags are tough to draw , but the drawing odds get better if you are booked with an outfitter , and can draw from the outfitter pool . This outfitter specializes in hunting Units 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , and 36 . Very limited tags in these units make for great hunting for bulls ranging between 300-400 points . Mostly 4x4 transportation with ranchhouse accommodations , although a wilderness horseback / tentcamp hunt is also offered deep into the Gila Wilderness . It only takes a $ 500 deposit to book this hunt , and the outfitter will enter your name in the drawing every year till you are successful , or want to purchase a landowner permit . Landowner permits range from $ 4000 to $ 6500 .
