Trip Overview

Devin Chavez Hunting offers a premier New Mexico Rifle Elk Hunt on private land, delivering a high-opportunity experience across an extended season running from October 1 through December 31. This timeframe gives hunters access to multiple phases of elk behavior—from post-rut patterns to late-season feeding movements—creating consistent opportunities throughout the fall and early winter.

With a 90% rifle success rate, this hunt is built around proven access to well-managed private land, strong elk populations, and Devin’s deep understanding of elk movement, terrain, and seasonal conditions. As the season progresses, elk transition into more predictable patterns, often focusing on food sources and travel corridors, allowing for effective spot-and-stalk and strategic setups with the advantage of a rifle.

This is a 5-day guided hunt designed to maximize opportunity and adaptability based on current conditions. With controlled pressure on private ground and an experienced guide working closely with you each day, this hunt provides a highly efficient and results-driven approach to harvesting a mature bull. Whether you’re looking for your first elk or a quality trophy, this rifle hunt delivers a true New Mexico elk experience built around opportunity, preparation, and consistency.

Hunts are in extremely high demand each season and availability is limited. Hunters interested are encouraged to contact the outfitter directly for current availability and information regarding available landowner tags.
