New Mexico Private Land Elk Hunts

Fishtail Ranch hunts take place on private ranch land in Unit 4 Northern New Mexico, this means guaranteed licenses (NO DRAW REQUIRED) in a quality unit with one of the highest success rates in the state. Private land allows us to control both the number of hunters and the number of elk harvested, helping to maintain a quality elk herd.

All hunts are conducted in a spot and stalk manner. You will be driven to the various hunting areas in 4 x 4 pickups and then continue on foot, accompanied by one of our experienced guides. All Guides live in the Chama area where they are able to observe the elk year round. This gives Fishtail Ranch Hunters the opportunity to benefit from each guides unique understanding of the elk movement and habits in the area.
