Guided & Unguided Draw Hunts
(for more information regarding guided hunts...click the above link)

The guided and unguided draw hunts provide the lowest cost private land hunting opportunity in the inter-mountain west. Fully guided hunts are available for bull elk.  Unguided hunts are available for cow elk and spring turkey. All hunters are drawn from applications submitted during the current year.  All unguided hunts maintain a high degree of Whittington Staff supervision. Hunters, by being drawn, have reserved their New Mexico license, the cost of which will be borne by the hunter. An authorization certificate, to purchase your license, will be sent to you upon receipt of the hunt service fee. The processing fee is non-refundable.
