Hunting Rio Arriba County, New Mexico has produced more record-book Boone & Crockett Mule Deer than any county in North America, including Sonora, Mexico, every decade since 1960. Unit 6A has unlimited, over-the-count private land mule deer tags and this area carries one of the highest density elk herds with year-round resident herds, and a large migration herd as the snow starts to hit the higher elevations. The ranch has qualified for 2 to 4 elk tags annually (always check regulations) as New Mexico Fish & Game rewards well-managed properties with bonus incentive tags for good stewardship and the Wilderness Ranch has applied for bonus levels. With New Mexico’s legal game feeders and food plots in close proximity to millions of acres of National Forest and Reservation, it’s been very easy to keep +/-60 to100 head of elk on the ranch most of the time. With years required to draw tags, and Covid steering over 3 million first time hunters to the woods, is it time for you to purchase your very own land investment with a rewarding dividend of landowner deer and elk tags annually? If so, call or email today for more info and your qualified showing on the +/-1010 acres of Wilderness Ranch!
