ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA-Endorsed Outfitter is owned and operated by a lifelong resident of Mora, New Mexico, who was born and raised there and has spent his entire life hunting and working the mountains and ranches of the northern part of the state. He began guiding as a teenager and has run his own outfitting business for roughly ten years. Elk, Turkeys, and mule deer are the species pursued. The knowledge behind the operation comes from decades of watching these animals through every season, learning migration corridors, bedding areas, feeding locations, water sources, and how weather moves game. The guides on staff know the Mora and Chacon country the same way, and the operation is personal rather than high volume.
HUNT DETAILS:
Every hunt here takes place on private land, and that single fact shapes everything else. Private access means far less pressure than public-land mule deer hunting, so hunters are not competing with crowds, vehicles, and other outfitters for the same ground. Deer on these ranches behave naturally rather than being pushed into hiding, which is what gives a hunter a real chance at a mature buck. The country centers on the Chacon Mountain and Mora region of northern New Mexico, south of Las Vegas. It is rugged mountain terrain, a mixture of timber, open parks, mesas, draws, and ranchland, and mule deer use all of it. Patience and quality glassing are what matter most on these hunts. The guides know where the better bucks traditionally spend their time, and the approach is locating a specific deer first and planning the stalk second rather than covering ground and hoping. The number of hunters taken is kept low, so the ranches stay quiet.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Hunters stay in clean, well-equipped campers located close to the private ranches being hunted. That proximity is the point. It cuts out unnecessary driving and puts more of the day into the field rather than onto the road. The campers give hunters a comfortable base to prepare gear, eat, rest between hunts, and talk through the next day’s strategy with their guide. The atmosphere is practical and built around the hunting rather than around luxury. For a lot of hunters the evenings around camp end up being among the best parts of the trip, going back over the day and planning the next one.
