Our Hunt Services / Prices / Options

We provide several levels of hunt service: "Scouting Only" , “Drop Camp”, "Outfitted Non-Guided“, "Outfitted Semi- Guided”, and “Outfitted Fully Guided” (and for a great budget hunt our "2012 Special Cow Elk Hunt Package" for NM Residents Only) We can almost always tailor a hunt package to your needs and budget.

I'll give you a general guideline for our hunt pricing below. While all our hunts are based on a 5 day hunt period you can always extend your hunt by buying additional days. Additional day rates are quoted below as well. The rates below do not include your license. These are fees set by the state and vary with species and hunt areas. (See the chart below for a few typical license fees) The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish website has the 2012-2013 Big Game & Furbearer Rules and Regulation booklet available for download. This booklet has a very thorough presentation of all available New Mexico hunts and applicable license fees. I am always available to discuss a hunt with you so feel free to email me or call me at 575-621-6158. We can settle on a hunt for you, and get you started in the application process.
 

Choosing any of the following hunt options (except "Scouting Only") gives you one very important advantage. Your license application will be processed through the outfitter pool which greatly improves your odds of being drawn for a tag. You must, however, agree to use our services in any one of the capacities outlined below to apply in the outfitter pool.
Note: The deadline for application for elk and deer hunts is March 28, 2012, so it's best to get started now.

New for 2012 is our offering of our exclusive "Guide Schooling and Camera Hunt" packages. We have persons every year who accompany a buddy or spouse who've drawn a tag and come along to photograph and just generally enjoy the woods and the elk and deer. We've come to see that often it is this non-licensed hunter with his camera who is having the most fun. Their photographic "trophies" are as prized as the ones taken to ground (And no bag limit) You're in the same woods, hunting the same animals and enjoying the same action as the lucky hunter who has drawn a tag. We couple this adventure with coaching from our guide staff on technique and tactics. This is an excellent way to learn the area and pay your dues in mistakes in preparation for that day when you have that prized tag in your pocket. If you fail to draw a tag you can book this hunt as backup and still come out here and have that hunting adventure. For the avid hunter this is an unmatched step on that lifelong quest for the monster muley or elk. These packages can be timed for any period, (peak of the rut, say) and offer an opportunity to observe and stalk trophies who may be hard to locate during normal seasons. This is a hunt and you can count on, plan, and come on regardless of your luck in the license drawing. This is a super choice to share with a spouse or child. There is no better vacation out there for the hunter or backwoods enthusiast (and at a great price!) These are all inclusive packages in terms of your accommodations, meals, schooling by the guides, and all camp resources.

“Outfitted Non-guided ” ($1950 / hunter) This is my most popular hunt for experienced hunters on a budget. Hunters receive the full camp and trophy assistance services, maps, tips, and as much camp guidance as we can give, but you are self guided on your hunt.

“Outfitted Semi-guided” ($2600 / hunter) Hunters receive 2 days of guiding to be scheduled anytime during their 5 day hunt period. Guides are assigned a maximum of 2 hunters for any given day. A team approach to an elk hunt is useful and 2 hunters can be staged very effectively to bring about a kill. This is a good way to get a couple of days of coaching prior to hunting on your own. This is also a very popular hunt with my experienced hunters.

“Outfitted Fully Guided" ($3600 / hunter) Hunters receive 2 on 1 (max) guiding for the entire 5 days. This is our premium full service hunt and our professional guide staff can greatly enhance your chances of success. I am often told by my hunters it was their best hunt ever.

"2012 Special Cow Elk Hunt Package" ($600 / hunter) This package is offered this year to offer a low cost option for a great elk hunt. This package will include our assistance in directing you to a productive cow elk area and tips on how to hunt it. We'll be in contact with you throughout the course of your hunt and will assist you with packing out your kill. This package does not include meals or accommodations and is ideal for those who want to bring their own camper or RV. Motel accommodations are readily available in these hunt areas. Selection of this package ensures entry through the outfitter pool and an excellent chance of drawing a tag.  NOTE: COW ELK HUNTS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO NM RESIDENTS

 Our " Drop Camp" hunts are a favorite with our independent minded, do it yourself type hunters who want a quality camp setup in a good area but don't want to waste good hunting days in transporting a camp, finding a site, and setting it up. You'll arrive to a fully equipped camp; tents and shelter, bedding, water, firewood (or heating / cooking gas), lighting, cook stove, utensils, and all camp gear. Our tents are heated with wood stoves and a camp shower and latrine facilities are provided. (Pre-cooked frozen meals, and groceries can also be provided for an additional fee.) You are required only to bring your own food, drinks, personal clothing and hunting gear. Many of our hunters bring their own sleeping bag, but it’s not required if you’re traveling light. We provide clean warm bedding. Hunters who are driving in sometimes bring 4-wheelers which help in getting you around on the forest roads. Some hunters bring freezers or insulated boxes to transport their meat home. The main difference between these drop camps and our "Outfitted" camps is that these camps are attended by our staff for only two days; One day upfront for move-in and orientation and one day at the end for pack-out and move-out , You're on your own for your hunt, and you will do your own meal preparation. The equipment and accommodations are of the same high quality as our attended camps. These camps are economically priced and are available for a broader selection of hunt areas than our "Outfitted" packages. Often a group wishing to apply for a hunt unit we're not especially active in will select this hunt package to have their camp in the unit they want. Feel free to call me to discuss a custom tailored drop camp package, and for availability in your desired unit. Your license application will be processed in the outfitter pool thus improving your odds of being drawn..
