7-Day Archery Hunt with Lodging

2x1 or 1x1 Guided

Elk Hunting: Archery

Our hunts take place in GMU’s 13,15, 16a, 16d, 17, and 23 (Drop camps in 16b wilderness area). We have consistently produced an average of 45%- 50% success rate (way above the state average) with 95% and sometimes 100% shot opportunity on mature bulls. Most shots are between 15-40 yards and in my professional opinion this is the best time to shoot a 350” to 400” bull.

All of our hunts are conducted on public land. Tags are drawn through the NM Game and Fish lottery pool. If unsuccessful in the draw, we offer guaranteed unit-wide landowner vouchers.

We offer Drop camps as well as fully guided hunts in wilderness area 16B.

Camps will be tent camps, accessing the area by horseback. 

For the Elite Sportsman!

Do you want an experience of a lifetime elk hunt? Are you the outdoorsman who wants to push your capabilities to the limit? Our backcountry hunts begin with packing you deep into the wilderness where only horses are permitted for travel. Our horseback string will be led by our professional wrangler and experienced backcountry guides. Camp will consist of wall tents, a cook tent, a full-time wrangler, and cook. There you will be sleeping in the middle of prime elk country where trophy elk are numerous. Horses will be on standby for access and meat retrieval.

These hunts take more resources to conduct(horses, wranglers, cook, and professional guide) but also have a super high success rate for 340-380+ bulls due to the fact that you will be hunting in areas where elk grow to their full potential. Being in good or great physical condition is a must!

Wilderness units are 16B/22 Gila Wilderness or unit 23 Blue Range Wilderness
