Guided Elk Hunt - This Year

[workhardplayhard]

Just found out my archery elk hunt fell through, guide apparently double booked. Super bummed. Looking for any recommendations on availability for this year. Really scrambling here. Preferably archery. Thanks!

Do you already have a tag?

No the hunt I had lined up was in New Mexico and it was transferable.

I see people trying to sell Land owner tags on NM FB groups but not sure how legit that is. Have you tried calling other NM reputable outfitters?

Be very carful buying Land Owner tags, a lot of scammers. I would look for last minute cancelations, could pickup a sweet last minute cancelation. Always OTC Colorado rifle if your just trying to go.

that's a good idea, i wonder how common cancelations are. I assume I would have to call around and get put on a list?

Try Kyle Hanson at Outdoors International. He probably knows of something.

Try steveshunts.com Steve West of Steve's Outdoor Adventures took over the Quinlan Ranch in Chama, NM after it sold, and he ran a decent operation there. Might be worth a phone call. I've seen him several times on the Outdoor Channel hunting across the U.S. and he claims he will personally take your call.

Sounds like your outfitter lied his ass off and went with higher paying client. (insert profanity here)

Could always try to find a hunt in Canada. Depends if you are trophy hunting or just want to go kill a bull.
