1) rifle
2) doesnt matter
3) looking for over the counter/landowner. that was one of the reasons we were looking at new mexico. i was told you get over the counter there. is that true?
4) which ever is the cheaper route. i personally like the idea of horseback in tents
5) actually killing. doesnt need to be a boone and crocket. just want the experience, killing a bull, and see some country

the reason we were thinking around 4 to 5k was because when i googled "guided new mexico elk hunts" the first page was loaded with 4 to $4500, hunts. i am just leery of booking a hunt without hearing first hand knowledge of it. we went ocellated turkey hunting last year and got some great advice from wiltznucs and it made me feel alot better about going after talking with him. btw, i was thinking 4 - 5k license NOT included, if that makes a difference.

I am by no means an expert and my advice is worth exactly what your paying for it. Colorado is the only over the counter tags I know off. Many states have landowner tags but rules vary. Wyoming, for example, only allows the landowner to use the tag. Utah has a great program if landowner tags but costs are very high. New Mexico has landowner tags but prices vary a lot statewide.
Here is a list of a couple hundred outfitters in NM. Call and talk with them and CHECK REFERENCES!! Never understand why more people don't do this. It's a huge investment. It pays to make a few calls and talk hunting with a few strangers.

The best elk hunts in NM go for over 20k. And they have waiting lists. Crazy. I think 4-7k is a more realistic budget all inclusive of travel.
Heard good things about this outfit but no personal experience.
