HUNT: Elk Hunt in New Mexico
CONSULTANT: Kyle Hanson | Outdoors International
September 9-15, 2021
I’m usually hesitant to write reviews for hunting trips mainly because I’m afraid once people find out how awesome the place is they’d start making it an annual thing and closing out my chances to potentially go back. Haha.
I’ve been hunting since I was 9 years old and this was hands down my favorite hunt.
An absolutely amazing elk hunting trip that had me wishing I was the next guys showing up in a few days to hunt. The whole outfit was exactly what I was hoping for when I showed up. Nice, humble, and determined to help you get your animal.
I shot a huge 6×6 elk on my third day with a bow and we ended up not being able to find it unfortunately. But the amount of time and effort that went into trying to find it was impressive. Aside from the hunting though, it is just a beautiful area with lots of game. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time.

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
