In addition to being classified as a warm unit, Unit 4 does contain areas of heavily forested mountain ranges. The higher altitudes will be more challenging to navigate and maneuver through, as opposed to the less rugged, arid terrain of the unit’s counterparts. In addition to the mountain ranges, Unit 4 contains a rather high density of farms and croplands. However, be sure to stay informed on public and private ownership of property since there is a higher concentration of private land than public land.

The upper elevations contain a mixed-coniferous blend of evergreen and deciduous forest, consisting of pinyon-juniper and ponderosa pine trees. The low and mid-elevations contain tracts of land populated by shrubbery or grassy varieties.

Gaining access to the hunting areas of Unit 4 New Mexico, hunters have a large network of small roads and access trails to travel. If you are planning on driving a motorized vehicle on New Mexico public land, you must obtain a non-resident OHV (Off-Highway Vehicle) registration decal or purchase on through your home state. New Mexico permits are available for purchase at all New Mexico Department of Game and Fish offices and online. It is the responsibility of the forest visitor to obtain a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) to abide by the laws.
