Deer Hunting in the Gila National Forest
1-2 Guests • Drop Camp • Public • Guided
Description
5 or 7-day Archery, Rifle or Muzzleloader Hunts
Mule Deer
Our Mule Deer hunts take place in units 2b, 2c, 16, 22 and 23. Our success rates on mule deer are 80% on bucks scoring 150”-190”. These units all have the potential for 190”-200”+ bucks. Extensive glassing and putting yourself in areas that produce giant bucks will increase your odds in harvesting a 180” buck or better.
Coues Deer
Our Coues deer hunts take place in Units 16, 22, and 23 and are prime units to harvest 100”-125” bucks. Our success rates on these hunts are 80%. We have seen bucks in these units pushing the 130” mark so with a lot of extensive glassing you could harvest a buck of a lifetime.
General Info
Lodging

Transportation
We will provide transportation to and from the hunting area. We will be accessing our hunting areas by 4x4 Pickup trucks and ATVs. All of our hunting will be done on foot once we reach our designated hunting area.
Meals
Experienced cooks will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the duration of the hunt starting ½ a day before the hunt and ½ a day after.
Trophy Care
We will take care of caping of the animal, quartering of the meat, packing out of the animal via ATV or horseback, and cooling of the meat (walk-in-cooler). We do have a local processor for an additional price.
Professional Guides
We offer 2:1 or 1:1 Guided hunts. Our elk hunts take place in the one and only Gila and Apache National Forests of Southwestern New Mexico. Our many years of hunting experience in these areas, along with awesome genetics have enabled our clients to consistently enjoy exceptional success rates on World-Class animals. In our opinion, this is the finest public land hunting in the world, as record books will verify.
Base price is per person for a 2x1 Guided Hunt with Lodging. Make it a 1x1 Guided hunt for an additional fee per person.
Taxes will be added to all hunts. We also offer guided hunts for the mobility impaired.

Our goal is to provide our clients with a truly memorable hunting experience. We do this by limiting the numbers of hunters we take on each hunt so that our clients will be guided by one of our highly skilled, professional guides.
