Is this a good price?
7 days in unit 4 for $4995 all included and New Mexico landowner elk tag $570 dollars included in price of hunt. Says 85% chance of 270" to 360" Bull.

Depends on the ranch, accomodations, elk herd.

My buddy has a great place in Unit 4. His hunts are going for 9K.

Where is the place you are talking about? Name of the outfit?

Hell of a lot of difference in a 270 and a 360 bull. For $4995 I would betcha 90% of them are 270-280 bulls, if not 95%. I hunt NM and the plain truth, in any state, is that a hunt at that price will get you a decent bull, but not a monster.

I agree. If you are after a "first bull", or just wanting the experience, go for it. If you are wanting a realistic chance at a 325" or better type bull, better put another 2-4k on the deal IMHO.

There's no monsters in 4. 360 would be a monster

I don't know the NM zones by number, where is 4?

Unit 4 is Chama.

The Outfit is Cache Creek Outfitters and it seems the hunt may actually take place with Chama River Outfitters. Something like that

One of the men that worked for me booked a cheap bull elk hunt in New Mexico. I can't remember the outfitter. Between he and his friend they saw one bull which was exactly the same number of times he saw the Outfitter. The Outfitter dropped them off, moved them about three days later, and that was that. They were pretty unhappy. They were hunting near Reserve, New Mexico.
