New Mexico Elk Unit 16C

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for New Mexico Game Management Unit 16C.

Unit 16C is classic Gila high country, climbing roughly 3,500 vertical feet from 6,500-foot canyon bottoms to the Black Range crest past 10,000 feet near Reeds Peak, with wilderness blocks along the southern and western edges that stop vehicles cold and leave elk the quiet interior. Water rules here: perennial headwaters feeding Diamond, Taylor, and Beaver creeks, plus scattered earthen tanks across the mid-elevation parks. Our pack walks you through Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access (Highway 59 and Forest Road 150), and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
