HUNT: New Mexico Trophy Antelope Hunts
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International
September, 2018
We hunted antelope on a 95,000 acre ranch in New Mexico…that is everything you can see and then some…as we drove the ranch and crested another rise everything we could see in front and behind was on the ranch and in every direction we could glass groups of antelope. The biggest choice we had to make while hunting was “What shape of horns do you want on your Trophy Pronghorn?” We saw tall horns that hooked back, that hooked inside; we saw beautiful heart-shaped horns; we saw wide rounded horns and horns that laid out wide at a sharp angle. My guide was very diligent about pointing out to me how heavy the mass was and how high the cutters were above the ends of the ears and the length of horn above the cutters as we were glassing giving me a good idea of the quality of the animals the whole time.
This was a scouting process, and it didn’t take very long to find a good goat…
We had seen a good variety of “shooter” bucks and Dave was glassing one through his spotting scope and said “Todd, I think you’d better shoot that buck.” And me being someone to take good advice, I made a 100 yard stalk to be in a good position and got it done. We had pictures taken and Dave was starting to gut my Stud of Trophy Antelope by 9:00 a.m. of our 1st morning out.
We got my hunt done the 1st morning of my 3 day hunt but I spent a long weekend with Dave and Brad, the guides. These guys are thoroughly knowledgeable about firearms, the habits and quality of the Antelope we were hunting, every inch of the massive ranch we were on, hunting in general (they will be guiding Elk hunters during rifle season this year on the same ranch. We saw some stud bulls moving cows toward the river canyon on the property…this place would be good elk hunting.
The Santa Fe Trail
There is a deep history to the area too as the ranch is directly on the Santa Fe Trail; there are some buildings on the ranch that were built in the Santa Fe Trail era of the mid 1800’s and there are numerous historical landmarks around the area that can be visited if you end up with some free time on this trip.

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
