HUNT: New Mexico Cow Elk Hunt
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International
January, 2018
Larry and his team are excellent hunt guides. They know the property well. One always seemed to be out scouting. The ranch house is ok and good condition….lots of room. Comfortable. The guides are focused on the game, hunt and property.
Late season cow elk hunting season in New Mexico is fun! Private ranch. Plenty of game – Elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and coyotes galore! Mountain lion hunting is really good on the property, but none were sighted. Wait for conditions to be right for game moving down. Be flexible on hunt start to make the best of the opportunity.
Ranch house with lots of room and beds in bedrooms. After arrival late morning – opportunity to shoot rifle was appreciated.
With three hunters and three guides; there was excellent game scouting and locating. Guides are very knowledgeable and help with getting an opportunity.
We were on elk the first afternoon.
Stalk 1 – very close to opportunity. Mule deer alerted elk….they moved. Next morning – spotted elk and stalk 2. Weather came in and closed window. Afternoon day 2- Snow storm with wind and stalk on foot to top. Wait for weather to clear. Finally a slight break and we can see them. Shot opportunity and kill. It was a great stalk, great experience, great guides. I had a lot of fun, and gave my guide a good tip.
Meat care nearby if desired. They did a bone out only – very clean and good job.
Some adjustment in the planning and approach for this particular hunt is promised. We pushed back dates to make sure the game arrived and we had the best hunt opportunity. If this is possible; it’s a great option to have.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
