Game Management Unit 57
Game Management Unit 57 covers the high plains, mesas, and grassland of Colfax County in the upper Canadian River region of northeastern New Mexico. Huntable species include pronghorn, elk, mule deer, black bear, cougar, and Merriam's turkey under zone- and species-specific seasons; note that NMDGF has capped private-land pronghorn licenses in GMU 57. Land ownership is a mix of private ranchland, state trust land, and checkerboarded Kiowa National Grassland (USFS) parcels. A valid New Mexico hunting license is required.
