NM Mule Deer Unit 57
AI Scout Preview
NM 57 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Unit 57 spans 274,350 acres across rugged high-country terrain, ranging from 5,949 to 8,874 feet elevation. The unit is heavily tilted toward private land—only 17% public acreage means most hunting requires either private-land access or permission from state Land Grant Permanent Fund Trust Land. The low public-land percentage makes this unit challenging for DIY hunters without established landowner contacts or outfitter partnerships. Mule deer here are largely resident animals. Early-season activity will be low; November hunting coincides with the beginning of increased movement as weather begins to shift deer off..
