New Mexico Elk Unit 52

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for New Mexico Game Management Unit 52.

Unit 52 sits in New Mexico's far north-central high country, where the entire northern boundary rides the Colorado line and the Tusas Mountains, the southeasternmost reach of the San Juan Range, climb from roughly 7,800-foot sage flats to nearly 11,000 feet at San Antonio Mountain. For elk hunters that means dark Engelmann spruce timber, perennial creeks feeding the Rio de los Pinos, and mid-slope oak and aspen benches that concentrate movement, plus the roadless Cruces Basin Wilderness and the tricky Tierra Amarilla Land Grant boundary on the west. The pack lays this out across Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary.

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.
