You can get some nice fresh Elk meat over by the trees in the left and further back towards foothills of those mountains. All you need are good legs; have the wind in your favor, and stay in the shade. If not, you have had a great walk in some beautiful country and fresh air. Priceless.
Choice of firearms: Ruger 480 Super Red Hawk with 7.5 inch barrel with hard cast 340 grain Buffalo Bore bullets.
If you prefer a rifle: I would suggest either the Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine 308 Winchester or the Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter Stainless Steel 30-06.
Have you ever had elk steaks, elk burger, elk sausage or elk ribs? Elk and pork sausage mixed together is absolutely delicious and great with eggs.
For your information, that is the Santa Fe National Forest near the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge. And, by the way, there IS a boat load of elk in that area.
