Larry, my brothers and I just went through this, looking at at MT and ID as well. Snake Charmer's point is a good one. To get good background info on NM, check Elite Outfitters (sponsor of SCH, check the SCH home page for the link). Great info there. I also got some great advice from NBK and LP that helped me know what to look for. In CO, check out J&D Outfitters. CO has a Ranchers for Wildlife (R4W) program and special allocations for non resident hunters so you don't need points. As Snake Charmer says, these hunts are not cheap, but you can get a tag through the outfitter even if you don't have points. PM me if you want more info. We looked at a ton of outfitters all over the west. I'm no expert, but we did a lot of homework.
