ARCHERY ELK hunts take place in the Gila Wilderness of southwestern New Mexico. The unit encompasses not only the Gila Wilderness but also the Aldo Leopold Wilderness. With a million acres to hunt and only a limited number of tags issued for the 24-day season, hunting pressure is very light. Although the tags are good for any elk, most of our clients are hunting for bulls.The Gila Wilderness is known for quality bulls and in this vast country a large percentage of the bulls achieve the age to become trophies in anyone's eyes. Our archery hunts are horseback type hunts out of a wilderness tent camp.The pack-in is from a 2 to 6 hour horseback ride, depending on which camp we're going to. We keep our camps small, preferring to take only 4 hunters per camp. Our camps consist of wall tents, tepee tents and dome tents. Meals are prepared over open fires and in dutch ovens. Temperatures in September are usually warm with the low's being in the 30's and warming up to near 80 during the day. Thundershowers can be common in the afternoons. We run a 1 X 2 hunt (1 guide per 2 hunters) and our hunting methods include calling and sitting wallows and water. Elk in the wilderness are not call-shy. You have three 6-day hunts to choose from, with the first two archery hunts having the option of also harvesting a deer. You will pack in the day before your hunt starts and pack out the day after the hunt ends. Please allow 8 days here for your hunt.

RIFLE ELK hunts also take place in the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wildernesses. These hunts are conducted in the same fashion as our wilderness archery elk hunts. Elevations range from 7000 to 9000 feet with a wide variety of vegetation and topography. The lower country consists of grassy mesas covered with junipers, pinons and deep canyons. A little higher up and you get into Ponderosa pines and Gamble oaks. The south slopes are juniper, pinon and oak brush. The north slopes are considerably cooler with Douglas fir as the dominant tree. The highest country consists of Aspen, Douglas fir and wet alpine meadows. Weather is usually mild and dry in October. Lows are usually in the mid 20's and can get up to near 70 during the day. We can experience some mild storms during these hunts, but they usually don't last long.Our hunting methods include spot and stalk, still-hunting, and calling. 75% of the bulls taken are actually spotted from horseback. Two 5 day hunts are available, with a pack-in day and a pack-out day. You need to allow 7 days here for your hunt. This is also a 1 X 2 hunt (1 guide per 2 hunters) and we like to take 4 hunters per week. . Over the last 20 years, average success is between 60% and 70%.

MUZZLE-LOADER ELK hunts take place in the Zuni Mountains of west central New Mexico. This is a non-wilderness unit. We use 4X4's, ATV's and walk to our hunting spots. Hunting metods include calling,spot and stalk, and still-hunting. This is also a 1 X 2 hunt (1 guide per 2 hunters) and we usually take 4 hunters.

NEW ELK AND DEER DRAWING SYSTEM IN NEW MEXICO
Deadline for Applying is: TBA
Following information to be updated
  In years past, New Mexico Elk applications were drawn unit by unit. All 1st choice applicants for a unit were put in a hat and drawn. If there were any leftover tags(which there usually were not), applications with 2nd choice for that unit were drawn.   Now the Department of Game and Fish draw the applications first, then look at the units chosen. If the 1st choice is full, they will look at your 2nd choice and so on. You may now also mix weapon choices on your application. For example, you may apply: 1st choice ~ 1st Rifle Hunt 2nd choice ~ 3rd Archery Hunt 3rd choice ~ Muzzle Loader Hunt  It is possible to draw a quality tag with your 3rd choice. It is a confusing system, but it will be to the applicants' advantage to fill in the 2nd and 3rd choices. 2009 Deer tags will be issued in the same fashion as Elk tags. The number of Deer hunters is expected to be reduced approximately 20% state wide. We do not expect much change in our area, but you should plan your Mule Deer or Coues Deer hunt early.
