Hello:
My name is Jim Welles. I own and operate JFW Ranch Consulting, LLC, with my wife Kelly at 10600 Eagle Rock Ave, Albuquerque, NM 87122. My office phone number is 505.294.7861. My cell number is 505-967-6562. Our e-mail address is JFWRC
comcast.net. Kelly and I have been guiding and outfitting in NM over 25 years now.
Every year we buy a certain amount of Land Owner Authorizations in GMU 2 in NW New Mexico for our clients that do not draw. Well, we had a great draw this year and we have 8 landowner authorizations to sell that are good for either muzzy or rifle on Oct 7-11 Muzzy or Oct 14-18 rifle. These authorizations are Unit Wide meaning that you can hunt on any public lands that you have legal access to or any private land that is signed up unit wide, of which there are 9 ranches with a total of 17,123 deeded acres to hunt in addition to the public. There is a huge amount of public land to hunt.
Unit 2 is coming on strong in NM with bigger and better bulls being harvested every year. This population is in good shape. Very few cows are harvested in this unit meaning the unit is expanding in terms of population. A majority of this unit is pinon juniper rimrock at elevations around 6500 to 7500 feet. A typical 4 year old bull will be a 280-300 inch 6x6 bull. Our guides have had clients take bulls at the 320+ level. We keep hearing of bigger bulls being seen in this unit.
The cost of a landowner tag is $3,000 + tax and license for a total of $3,840. THIS IS NOT A GUIDED HUNT. However, if you want a guide we can add a guide for $450/day based on availability.
There a lots of places to camp. There are a couple of places to stay in motels. One is near some of the best trout fishing in the SW on the San Juan.
I will be posting pictures of bulls taken by our clients following this ad. I will be adding another pic every couple of days.
Thanks For Looking!
Jim Welles
