New Mexico unit 58??

[okie archer]

Anyone have any info on the quality/quantity of pronghorn in this unit? I have been invited by a friend of mine who works for a large private ranch. I'm already planning a trip to AZ for archery elk so it would be very easy to squeeze in a couple days of antelope hunting as it is pretty much on my way and during same time. Just don't have no idea about the area. This was just sprung on me a few days ago. Any opinions of area are appreciated.

The best I can do is GMU 59 and 41. I was up there in May. Saw a lot of animals in northern 41 and a few in western 59. I'm heading back up to western part of 59 on Saturday to scout for my hunt next month. I know they have been getting hit and miss rain, but its getting dry. Overall I'd saw it should be worth the time (a bad day hunting is better than a good day working). There are usually a lot of antelope pretty much anywhere in NE New Mexico. Sorry I can't be more help.

I definitely would take your friend up on the hunt good or bad. GMU 58 has alot of antelope. I was rather close to there last weekend scouting. Review this thread to see some representatives from that area.

That is one of the better units for lopes. I've bow hunted up there, back when you could draw a tag... Some nice ones up there, take your friend up on his offer...

Plenty of antelope in that area. Do it for sure. If nothing else, you'll have a great time with a friend.
