I was going to book an Elk Hunt for 2019 through Cabelas Signature Events but they're sold out

I am going to try New Mexico next year

a quick search shows FishTail to be a good outfitter

If you've gone through Fishtail or other Outfitters, I'd like to hear your experiences good/bad

I am also open with elk hunts on Indian Reservations

Thanks

If you can afford the Indian land then more power to you! While I have hunted a national forest a couple of times back when one could get a tag over the counter, I have hunted with an outfitter only once. That outfitters is Zane Streator (Streater). He lives in Texas but has several ranches in New Mexico where he hunts. It is a guaranteed tag.
I saw that he has gone up some since I hunted with him a few years ago. I recently spoke with the guide that I had and was told that ranchers are wanting more for tags now. Saw a bunch of animals and the bull I took was a good one. The hunting was not hard at all. At least not on the ranch I was on.

If you want to hunt private land in N.M., the outfitter will have Landowner tags and that will be a factor in cost (5000 to 10000). State tag for a bull is approx. $650. If you are wanting a true trophy might look at Broadmouth Outfitters, They have a reputation of producing truly big bulls. I think they have taken the worlds record (approx. 500 in). They hunt in Idaho and Utah.

thank you gents

I'll reach out to them

If you want an excellent chance at a great bull, you might try The Lodge at Chama Land and Cattle Co in Chama NM. Very high success rate and a 5 star lodge. Owned by the Jicarilla Apache Nations.
Amazing place and Cabelas sends customers to them.

I’m almost sure Carter Country out of Houston has a ranch in NM. Look them up.

I have hunted with Broadmouth Canyon Ranch in Utah. Great folks and lots of elk. My bull scored over 370. The lodge in Idaho is newer. They are also offering hunts in Mexico.

It is in Southeast colorado. Cottonwood Mesa. And it is a high fenced Elk ranch.
