The Gila has consistently produced trophy class bulls that hunters from around country have given chase.  The units they typically hunt are primitive weapon use areas only, which haven't been rifle hunted for a good many years.  Archery hunts begin generally around the 1st of September and run to the third week of September.  Muzzleloader season typically begins at the end of the first week of October.  Rifle hunts typically start at the end of the first week of October.

This outfitter's elk hunts take place on the highly sought after Gila National Forest of western New Mexico.
