mikaele Report post Posted January 9, 2018 I have a friend and his son who want to go to New Mexico for a rifle cow elk hunt for the fathers' 60th birthday this year. Has anyone done a hunt like this and have feedback on an outfitter I can recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Sparky Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Haven't done a landowner tag or know of an outfitter. The only one I personally know of to contact would be San Francisco River Outfitters out of Glenwood. If you are looking for a cow tag I would look over by Ruidoso / Cloudcroft area, Unit 36 and 34. The other unit I would look at is 17. The landowner list usually comes out after the draw and NMG&F just put the regs out online. Go to their web page for more information. Edit: I should mention that cow elk tags are only available to residents through the draw and you will have to buy a landowner tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norteno Report post Posted January 11, 2018 My brother might be able to accommodate if theyre not already booked for Dec cow tag. This year sucked because it was so dry in 51. I still think all his guys harvested though. Usually they need to take the tractor out in feet of snow. Ill send PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeke-BE Report post Posted January 11, 2018 You gotta pay to play! Ive seen them for 800 dollars but the better ranches around 1500-2000 dollars for a cow tag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe hunter Report post Posted January 11, 2018 Mikele, call Steve at South West Hunts. He runs a great outfit in NM and I would bet the ranch your friend and his son will be VERY pleased hunting with him . He has plenty of LO cow tags and puts on a great hunt and is very succesful. www.southwesthunts.com I wouldn’t recommend just anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikaele Report post Posted January 12, 2018 Thanks for the PM's and info. They were really anxious to get this planned and booked a hunt with Kiowa outfitters for $1500 or so for 3 days. I'll post a review after the hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll post a review after the hunt. When you really add it up for an elk hunt at home you are looking pretty close to 800 dollars-1500 dollars just to hunt. So thats a great deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowHuntAZ Report post Posted January 13, 2018 Kiowa is a good outfit. They kill a lot of cows on that hunt. Youll have great opportunity. I hunted antelope with them a couple years ago and Ive never seen so many bucks in my life. Good honest hardworking guys. Have fun and let us know how it goes.
