The places I have spotted elk are better suited for mountain goats. So with that said, only advice I can offer is start working now to get in the best shape possible because, even then, the steepness and elevation will own you.
Also, pack some fishing gear in the chance you tag out.

If you were going elk hunting and could choose from the the following choices what would you pick and why?
Hunt will be in Chama, New Mexico Archery
Second week of of the season, little early for full rut but no moon/new moon
or
Last week, probably better rut action, but full moon.
Both would be a 5 day hunt.
Is it just personal preference, this will be my first elk hunt and wondered if either one would increase my odds? Getting pretty excited
Thanks

I'm not chasing the premium tags. 4 or 5 points will get me the units I'm looking for. Some deer units I'm looking at can be drawn every 3rd year. Trying to get it lined up where I can get a good hunt in Az, Colorado, and Wyoming with a year in between to chase mule deer

AZ the Elk unit(s) I want take 7-9 years so I count that as a mid-term. I'm at 7 so I'm close! After I blow my deer points in AZ I'm going to put in for a much easier unit, but I can't waste my points I have now.. WY I'll never catch up to max so I'm pretty much on the mid-term plan since nothing is "easy" to win there.. Utah and Nevada are pretty much all long term. NM I put in for easier units in the Guide Draw (although I DIY it). My goal is to try to get NM every other year or so.
Then I always have a back up plan if I don't win crap.. My current backup plan is leftover Coues hunting.. It's too much fun to pass up
