HUNT DETAILS:
This outfitter offers exceptional Coues deer hunts in and around the Gila region, including the remote and rugged Burro Mountains. These hunts are classic spot-and-stalk style, with full days spent glassing rocky canyons, pine-covered ridges, and oak flats in search of mature bucks. With a goal of harvesting Coues deer scoring 95 inches or better, hunters can expect a challenging yet rewarding experience. The guides scout year-round and bring unmatched knowledge of the terrain and deer behavior, giving clients a serious edge. For those seeking a true backcountry Coues hunt, this is one of New Mexico’s finest opportunities.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Accommodations for mule deer hunts vary depending on the unit, ranging from comfortable wall tent camps in remote areas to local Airbnbs, hotels, or lodges when hunting closer to town. In the field, wall tents offer a classic camp experience with cots, heat, and hearty, home-cooked meals. For hunts based near amenities, guests enjoy clean, comfortable lodging and easy access to hot meals and showers. No matter the setup, comfort and convenience are always a priority.
