5-Day New Mexico Mule Deer Hunt (Draw Tag)

Experience a classic Western mule deer hunt with LOH Outfitters in some of New Mexico's best mule deer country. New Mexico offers the unique opportunity to pursue both Rocky Mountain mule deer in the northern portion of the state and desert mule deer farther south, creating a wide variety of terrain, hunting styles, and seasonal opportunities.

LOH Outfitters offers both public land and private-ranch mule deer hunts, giving hunters multiple ways to pursue a quality New Mexico buck. Seasons include early September archery opportunities, late-October muzzleloader hunts, November rifle hunts, and January archery hunts during the rut, depending on the hunter's tag and hunt location.

These hunts are built around glassing and spot-and-stalk hunting. Expect to spend significant time behind quality optics picking apart mountain slopes, mahogany-covered hillsides, draws, and open country looking for mature bucks. Once a quality deer is located, your guide will work with you to plan the best approach and get into shooting position.

Hunters should come prepared for a true Western hunt. Depending on the area, expect to cover approximately 1–8 miles per day through mountainous terrain at elevations ranging from roughly 5,000–10,000 feet.

Rifle opportunities can range from approximately 100–500 yards, while archery shots may range from 40–100 yards. Hunters should arrive physically prepared and comfortable shooting their chosen weapon from realistic field positions.

Whether you're chasing a velvet buck with a bow, hunting the mountains with a muzzleloader or rifle, or pursuing rutting mule deer in January, LOH Outfitters provides the local knowledge and experienced guide service to make the most of your New Mexico mule deer hunt.

IMPORTANT: This is a draw hunt and is exclusively available to hunters who successfully draw the applicable New Mexico hunting tag.

New Mexico offers a dedicated Outfitter Draw Pool for hunters applying with a registered outfitter. When you apply through LOH Outfitters, your application is entered into this separate pool, which can provide better draw odds than the standard nonresident draw for many hunts. LOH can help guide you through the application process and make sure everything is submitted correctly.
