Elk hunting in New Mexico ({{totalToursString}})
New Mexico has a reputation for offering some biggest elk trophies in North America, and has the third largest elk herd (about 80,000 animals). Non-resident hunters can get OTC tags through the landowner preference program or the guaranteed outfitters’ tags program. Chances of drawing a non-resident tag for a DIY hunt are low, given that only 6% of all tags are allowed for non-residents, and for the most popular areas such as the Valles Caldera natural reserve, even residents’ chances are slim. An outfitted hunt is therefore the way to go if you want to hunt elk in New Mexico, but the price for a prime time hunt with tag included may rise above $10,000.
The Valles Caldera, National Forests in Northern New Mexico and the highly acclaimed Gila of Southwestern New Mexico offer some good elk habitat for a public land hunter. Unit 34 has a great reputation, yet, even for this unit landowners tags may be available, and units 13, 15, 16a, 16b, 16d, 16e, and 17 are also in high esteem. The best time to hunt is the rut, that usually begins in September, and is mostly covered by the archery season. The first weeks of the rifle season, that begins about October 7, and the muzzleloader season, that falls between the archery and the rifle seasons, are also good, as you may still see some bugling activity.

Looking for best hunting trips for You...
Why do I see different types of prices?
There are two types of hunts on our platform: Package Hunts and Customizable Hunts. Package Hunts are fixed offers. Customizable Hunts usually allow you to select species and other parameters (number of hunters and guests, etc.) and then you can see the final price of your hunt.
"Package price" tag - this price tag is shown for package hunts, and it's a final price for an offer.
"Price from" tag - we show this tag for customizable hunts either when you search for particular species or when there is only one type of species in an offer. In both cases we include the minimum trophy fee available for this type of animal. It means that you see the final price of the offer, but you can also customize it (e.g. you can include a bigger trophy into your hunt).
"Daily rate fee" tag - this price does NOT include trophy fee. For example, if you are searching for a destination and we can't figure out the species you want, then we show this tag. You will need to include trophies from a hunt page.
