Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds NEW MEXICO UNIT 52 HUNT w/ Landowner Authoriztions

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 JFWRCcomcast.net. Kelly and I have been guiding and outfitting in NM over 25 years now.

We currently have openings for two elk hunters wanting the OCT 6 Muzzy or the OCT 13 First Rifle in New Mexico's Game Management Unit 52. This unit is in north central NM and sits below the Colorado Border. This hunt is guided only and includes landowner authorizations in the price. The offering does not include your NR State License at $630, meals or lodging. However, we have access to a little cabin right in the middle of the action for $75/night for both people. Bring your buddy and go elk hunt at the best time for elk in this unit. If you can use a muzzy, the OCT 6 timeframe is prime rut (scopes and inlines OK in NM). The OCT 13 timeframe is good as well and you can bring your rifle. You must pick one timeframe or the other and the hunt is 5 days long. You will be guided 2x1 by one of our pros.

A good bull in this unit is 270-300. An exceptional bull will be 320-340 and yes we have seen them. The biggest we have ever taken is 325. If you have your sights on a nice 6x6 in this unit, you best squeeze the trigger.

The cost for both (2) hunters is $9,500 + NM Gross Receipts tax for a total to us of $10,111.56 or $5,055.78 EACH. You tell me where you can find a better bargain in a good NM Elk unit with a LO permit right now?

If you want to DIY this hunt, let's talk about the LO Authorizations only at $3500 ea + tax.

Please contact me at JFWRCcomcast.net or my cell at 505-967-6562 if you have any interest.

Ever thought about doing a raffle/drawing for these great Fire members?

Great suggestion. What do you have in mind?

100 tickets give or take a few at $50 each only 1 per member

Jim--I asked what your success rate for your clients on this ranch was, not the whole unit.

How many acres is the hunt on?

Doing the math, looks like it puts me in significant loss position. Thanks for the idea but I can't buy it.

Jim

I assume these are unit wide authorizations?

YES SIR....these are Unit Wide Authorizations.

I am sorry. Just saw your post. We run 75%+ on this hunt when guided. Opportunity has been running 100%.

Elkslayer91-

The GMU is farily large. I did a rough Google Earth Pro and got around 460-500 sq miles or 288,000 to 320,000 acres. Most of the unit is elk habitat. There is a some lower sage flat areas close to US #285 that would take out some acreage at this time of year. Hope this helps

Thats per tag, or 220x50 = 11000

Hunt is still available....

Jim

Our GMU 52 guide has just been contracted to do a desert bighorn hunt here in NM. As such, we are changing this offering to a LO Authorization type hunt with your having the option to stay at the cabin. Again, to be clear, this will be a DIY offering with LO tags, no guiding......however, you will be given tips on where to hunt in the unit.

The asking price of the 2 tags is $3,500 each + NMGRT Tax. or $7,453.25.

Thank you Fire members.
