Are there still any units in New Mexico that you can buy an over the counter tag for Mulies or elk? Archery or rifle but I'm leaning more towards archery.

Not that I'm aware of. I believe it's all draw or landowner vouchers.

My dad and a bunch of his buddies use to go about 15 years ago and they would buy over the counter tags but I can't remember where at, I guess maybe things have changed. Not really the answer I was hoping for but figured that'd be the one I got lol.

You could look into leftover tags, but anything leftover this late probably isn't worth buying.

Colorado has plenty of OTC tags. Second season starts Saturday.

I think it's great. Most units have plenty of elk. I don't know of any that stand out above the rest. Just find some steep, thick country that nobody else wants to mess with, and you'll find elk.

Pretty much sums it up. Guys that kill elk every year in CO work for it.
