Elk Mule Deer Antelope Oryx Ibex/Sheep Bear Buffalo Fishing Guided Elk Hunting in New Mexico Compass West Outfitters offers the finest guided elk hunting the great state of New Mexico has to offer. We specialize in guaranteed tag hunts where you do not have to worry about the low draw odds for premium hunts. We do, however, also understand that landowner tag hunts are not going to fit everyones budget so we also offer you the opportunity to apply for guided hunts in New Mexicos best units with no deposit in the outfitter pool offering you the best odds for hunts, and we will handle all the paper work for you. Total cost to apply for the best units in the state will be only $12.00. We will work with you to choose the best hunt for your physical level, needs as well as trophy potential. We also welcome hunters who have drawn tags on their own in the draw and are looking to find a quality outfitter for their hunt of a lifetime!
Guided Elk Hunting in the Gila National Forest, New Mexico Unit 16A, Unit 16D, Unit 16C, Unit 17 and Unit 13 The Gila hunts are some of the best elk hunts in the world but they are also some of the hardest to draw in the state of New Mexico. However, you're never going to get to hunt this incredible area unless you apply. In New Mexico you only pay up front a small application fee to apply on-line for these great hunts. The beautiful Gila National Forest areas of New Mexico are a mix of open cedar, juniper flats and ponderosa pine forest. In these areas we specialize in trophy guided elk hunts in New Mexico with a bow or muzzleloader but love the chance to provide rifle hunters the opportunity to see the benefits of hunting with bow hunting guides who have to know every inch of the areas they guide. Rifle season gives us the chance to go looking for monster bulls that avoided getting close enough during the bow seasons! Most of the bulls that we take in this area are over 330 and you will likely have the opportunity to both see and harvest bulls in the 340-400 range. There are few landowner tags in this unit; advance planning is required if you are looking for landowner tags here.
Guided Elk Hunting in the Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico Unit 34, Unit 36 and Unit 37 We offer guided New Mexico Elk hunts in the Lincoln National Forest with units having one of the largest elk populations in the state. We start with bow seasons, leading into youth only, followed by Muzzleloader and then rifle. We also have a late season bow hunt in December here for 6x6 or better bulls only. Our guides almost know the elk by name and for sure by the sound of a bugle before the season is over. We have enjoyed high harvest rates on bulls in the 285-340 class with a real shot at 350+. Hunts are glass and stalk and calling, mixed with a little waterhole hunting amongst the ponderosa, pinion and junipers of the area. We hunt from 6,000-10,000 foot elevations here. Unit 34 Muzzleloader elk hunts also offer you the chance to hunt the earliest dated hunt in the state for a premium unit. Over all, this hunt has good draw odds as well as some of my highest harvest rates. There are a good numbers of landowner tags for this unit as well, allowing you to plan a hunt with no draw. Elk Hunting Unit 2 New Mexico Unit 2 elk hunts are nice hunts with good draw odds, some of the best in the state. You can also get landowner tags for a reasonable rate in this area if you miss the draw. Unit 2 elk hunts are good hunts for some 260-290 bulls. Most are very nice 5x5-6x6 but we have killed bulls in the 350+ range in this unit over the last few years. We can see good numbers of animals each season and have good chance percentages on nice bulls. We access the area with 4 x 4 trucks and a mix of glassing and walk hunting with some sitting on water holes and calling on early hunts. This hunt is as hard as you want to make it. We can hike big hills and glass but for the most part we can get about every place we need to with the trucks. For hunters that are in great shape we have had a very high harvest on this hunt the last 3 years.
What Our New Mexico Hunts Offer We offer only fully guided hunts in New Mexico. This includes lodging, meals and full days guided as a part of the service. We feel that the incredible hunting opportunities this state offers are better showcased on fully guided hunts. Our hunts are mostly 2x1 but we also offer 1x1 for an extra charge. The 1x1 is a great choice for people really looking to up their chances. Hunters will stay in 10x12 canvas wall tents with propane heat, cots and sleeping mats. Your meals will be served in a dining tent where you will be treated to wonderful homemade meals made by the camp cook. You’ll get breakfast before your hunt. Lunches will be served in the field by your guide and are normally sandwiches, chips, cookies. Shortly after you return to camp a hearty home-style meal will be served. There will always be lots of snacks to pack in your day pack as well as soda and juice on hand. Please be sure to advise us well in advance of any dietary requirements so that we can plan for your needs. What to Expect on Guided Days You are here to hunt and we keep that in mind, most guided days are FULL days. We are more than willing to meet your needs and adjust to whatever schedule you would like to keep but the guides treat every hunt like a once in a lifetime hunt. On many of the rut hunts for bulls, the best plan is to hunt from before light until they stop talking, then take a long break in the field glass all afternoon or return to camp, then head back out about 2-3 in the afternoon and hunt until dark. Days start before dawn - you and your guide will be heading to the best looking area for your hunt. Once there you’ll take advantage of the guides skills to call in or glass up your elk.

________________________________________________________________________________ Guided Mule Deer Hunting in New Mexico Specializing in glass and stalk trophy mule deer hunts New Mexico has long been known for its huge elk and monster mule deer, that is what got me to move here from Montana in 1997. The areas that we mule deer hunt in New Mexico offer the best chance at the mule deer of a lifetime. Many of the mule deer taken on our guided hunts in unit 2A, 2B, 2C and 7 are over 25" and the chance at a 30" buck is always there, in fact the county that we guide in New Mexico is #1 for B&C mule deer entries and where we guide in Colorado is #6. You will enjoy mule deer hunting in New Mexico in the high mesa country with a mix of pinion, juniper and large sage flats broken up by sandstone valleys and seemingly endless country made for glassing with guides that specialize in trophy mule deer hunting. Unit 2B hunts will have us into well over 50 deer a day and as many as a 100 per day on the late hunts if you have snow in Colorado, with about a 150 inch average on dry late winter years and as high as 180 inches in 2B on premium weather years. Unit 2C is a trophy unit with low draw odds but great genetics and for sure some monsters, in fact we killed 2 deer over 200 inches in 2008! Unit 2A guided hunts offer very high draw odds as well as some true monsters. Guided hunts in unit 7 offer high draw odds in a huge unit with very few tags. I have over the last 4 years gained an extensive understanding of where the deer live in this unit and offer only 1 or 2 hunters the chance each year to hunt with us here; bucks are in the 170-200 inches as an average but there is not a huge number of deer here, just a few monsters! Any unit 2 or 7 guided hunt offers what is simply the very finest mule deer hunting in the state, do not miss your chance to hunt the premier mule deer units in the state with its top outfitting team! All the units that we guide offer a good chance at a book buck - please feel free to call me anytime to talk about your best choice of guided mule deer hunts in unit 2A, unit 2B, unit 2C and unit 7. We book up early so dont wait; call us today to lock in your spot! I also guide on private land in unit 30 and 34 in SE New Mexico. There is no draw for this hunt offering you a great chance to use this hunt as a backup to the draws in unit 2. These hunts are on a 40,000 acre ranch that we lease for elk and deer hunting. Deer are in the 130-150 class or 8-10 points, the average that we strive for through management.

Guided Private Ranch Hunting in New Mexico Guided mule deer or bull elk hunts in New Mexico units 34 and unit 30 I have exclusive access to almost 50,000 acres of private land in the SE part of New Mexico in units 34, I offer a limited number of hunters the opportunity to hunt this ranch for bull elk hunts on the ranch WITH NO DRAW. Bull elk are normally 6x6s and in the 275-320 class but we take much bigger, almost every year we will harvest a few bulls in the 330-360+ range as well, this unit is famous for its trophy elk hunting in New Mexico, and our ranch is limited to 16 elk hunters each year. In 2012 hunters took a 380 bow bull as well as a 366 rifle bull off this ranch, 6 years of 90% success and 100% opportunity to shot keep hunters returning year after year. This is a great ranch that hunts better each week as we move into the late season months. Nov-Dec-Jan offer up our highest success rates as well as the most bulls sighted each day! Hunts are spot and stalk hunts on foot. Most days you will walk high on the ridges and glass for bulls as you move from area to area. Once bulls are located we will stalk them or set a plan for that evening or the next morning. These hunts are limited to a very small number of people each year so don't miss out, call today! Lodging for our private ranch hunts is a small cabin located in the middle of the ranch, our cabin has showers, a great little living room and 1 bedroom with twin bunks, meals are prepared by our wonderful local cook and her family or by your guide. We also added a small sitting room to the house in 2012.
You will not forget the hunts or meals on this ranch for years to come!
