NM Pronghorn Unit 38

NM 38 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access NM 38 spans 2.08 million acres across a steep elevation gradient (4,458–8,588 ft), mixing high-country terrain with lower-elevation semi-arid country. Only 30% public land—typical for New Mexico—means success depends on access negotiations or private-land partnerships. Lower elevations offer sagebrush flats where pronghorn congregate; higher country provides escape terrain and water sources. The elevation spread creates diverse hunting scenarios but also complexity: lower zones may warm quickly, while high country remains cool and open longer into the season.
