Mule Deer and Elk Hunts

Mesquite River Outfitters books guided Mule Deer and Elk hunts on the Henderson Family ranches located near Flying H, New Mexico.  With just under 10,000 acres of PRIVATE ranch land in the foothills of the Sacramento Mountains of south central New Mexico, a hunter can be guaranteed an incredible hunting experience. There are no high fences on the ranches, making any animal taken eligible for Boone & Crockett or Pope & Young awards.

The ranch is located approximately 25 miles southeast of Ruidoso, New Mexico and borders the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation. The terrain is rugged with deep canyons and elevations ranging from 5,600 feet to over 7,000 feet. Cover varies from open areas on the east to juniper, pinon and ponderosa pines on the west. Hunting areas are in Unit 32 (east of the county road) and Unit 34 (west of the county road.)

    Old Road Canyon on the New Mexico Ranch.

The Oldtimers say Henry Tunstall of the famed Lincoln County War was killed in this canyon. Historians with New Mexico magazine write that Mr. Tunstall was killed just after lunch while riding from his ranch on the Felix Creek to the town of Lincoln.  Billy the Kid worked for Mr. Tunstall. When Billy sought revenge he started The Lincoln County War.
