The western regions of New Mexico – a state known for trophy bulls and its rugged terrain – provide an ideal hunting ground for chasing late-season elk. By mid-November the bulls are herding back up for the winter as the rut becomes an afterthought. Leupold’s Shawn Skipper sits down with Kali Parmley of Petersen’s Hunting, Jon Draper of NRA’s American Hunter, and Jason Gilbertson of Browning Ammo to discuss the week's events. Subjects discussed: the challenges of late-season elk hunting; putting miles on your boots; the new SX-5 Santiam HD spotting scope and BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars; the benefits of the VX-6HD riflescope.
