New to the forum here from Mid-Missouri. hello all.

Looking at a drawing for the Dec 1st muzzleloader hunt in New Mexico unit 51. Anybody have any input for this late season hunt as far as elk #’s, amount of possible snow, do the elk migrate out of the area or into the area, etc?

Thanks in advance for any knowledge or insight.
 
The Elk will move through that unit that time of year. Last time I was there 10 years ago I took a 300" 6 pt on the third week of October, rifle. I did not see a lot of Elk but saw some everyday. Did not see any until I was at least 1 to 2 miles from the road. Killed mine 2 miles from my truck. Could have killed smaller bulls. I harvested one of 3 - 300" bulls that I saw. Lots of hunters near the roads.
