Whether you’re hunting the abundant mule deer and bird life, or big game hunting for bull elk and pronghorn, or maybe you’re holding out for the more exotic species including ibex, oryx or barbary sheep… You’ll find big game hunting in New Mexico offers opportunities as diverse as the terrain, and not to be found anywhere else.

Because private land owners are able to manage the wildlife on their property, hunting private versus public lands consistently outperforms for sportsmen and women.

Ideally, owners and managers have a pulse on the landscape they control. This includes routinely working with state game agencies, wildlife biologists, or wildlife professionals.

Knowing wildlife numbers, predator densities, harvest objectives, age structures, reproduction rates, and how your neighbors manage all tie into the ecological health of your own ranch. This bank of knowledge also informs pasture rotations, forestry management, water and irrigation, and so on.

As a side income-generator, private land owners are able to sell a range of hunting permits and operate a small-scale hunting business. The business can be operated to support wildlife management goals, and as a result, hunters pay a premium to hunt well-maintained lands.
