Game Management Unit 56 covers the high plains, mesas, and grassland of Colfax County in the upper Canadian River country of northeastern New Mexico. Huntable species include pronghorn, elk, mule deer, black bear, cougar, and Merriam's turkey under zone- and species-specific seasons; northeastern New Mexico carries the most pronghorn draw licenses available statewide. Public land includes Kiowa National Grassland (USFS) and state trust parcels intermingled with private land — public parcels are checkerboarded, so plan access carefully. A valid New Mexico hunting license is required. Confirm dates and draw status with the current NM Hunting Rules & Information.
