Seasons vary by unit but options exist for either early archery or muzzleloader in Sept./Oct. Rifle seasons will typically take place in Nov. with Jan. archery hunts also being available.
If you are in pursuit of trophy mule deer the most critical factor is being in an area that produces trophy bucks! Northwestern New Mexico’s units 2B, 2C and 7 have a long standing track record of producing P&Y as well as B&C quality bucks. Hunters lucky enough to draw a tag can expect to hunt 160-180 class bucks with the outside chance of taking a true giant. All three units share borders with the Jicarilla Indian Reservation, one of the most renowned mule deer destinations in the world. Elevations in these units range from 4,500-8,000 ft. Landscapes will vary from broken desert hogbacks and mesas comprised of only pinon & juniper cover up to dense forests containing deep rim rock canyons. Each area has a natural beauty that can be appreciated and improve the overall hunting experience.
This outfitter lives centrally between the three units. His home location allows him to scout extensively during the summer and early fall to maximize client opportunity on the early season hunts. During the later season hunts that can be heavily influenced by the influx of migrant deer as well as the rut he and his team of guides revert to a wealth of previous knowledge that can only be acquired through years of boots on the ground experience.
Meals and lodging are not included in the trip price. Clients will need to stay at the Best Western in Bloomfield, New Mexico and will be picked-up and dropped off each day by the outfitter.
Each year a limited number of licenses to hunt the best areas in N.M. are available at auction. If you wish to by pass the draw process WTA can provide assistance obtaining one of these coveted tags.
