New Mexico Trophy Rocky Mountain Elk Rifle Hunt for one donated by Zane Streater of Streater Outdoors. This is an amazing hunt and one we were very lucky to get for the banquet. Zane hunts private property for monster bulls! GUARANTEED TAGS, NO DRAW, ALL PRIVATE RANCHES!!! This hunt is for October 2011 only! Rifle elk hunts start October 1, which is still during the rut. Bulls are mature, averaging 6X6, 300 Boone & Crockett, with a realistic chance of taking bulls in the 350 class. For the last eight years they have averaged a better than 90% shot opportunity. You will be hunting mostly by spot and stalk. We watch meadows, feeding areas, water holes and crossings. We also use bugles and cow calls to call the bulls to us, or get their locations for a stalk. The bulls will be bugling! We hunt mostly early mornings and late afternoons, leaving the elk alone in midday, as not to disturb them while bedding. The terrain is rolling pine, piñon, cedar, and oak with some canyons and hay meadows. Elevation is 6,500 to 7,000 feet. Not steep or rough country. Minimum bid required. If you've always wanted to kill a monster bull, you don't want to miss this one! Thank you Zane for this awesome donation!
