New Mexico big game tags are some of the most sought after in the Western states and for good reason. Hunting big game in New Mexico is some of the best hunting you will ever experience.

Our 2021 hunting season was nothing less than what you would expect it to be! Our guests experienced much success and a great outdoor hunting experience while hunting the mountains and high desert and prairies throughout New Mexico with H&A Outfitters and our professional guides.

Well what can we say about 2020 other than most definitely a year to remember and hopefully learn from it. The one thing we all still have for now anyway, is the ability to escape the craziness of the world and go to the great outdoors and forget about all the negative shit going on in the country.

The 2020 hunting season left as fast as it arrived. Once again H&A Outfitters, Inc. and our guests achieved a great outdoor hunting experience with much success. As always, August brings us to the Shugart Ranch hunting pronghorn antelope. And like always, it was 100% harvest on seven mature pronghorn bucks. Shortly after pronghorn season was over, we had the privilege to guide a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep hunter in the Pecos Wilderness on the second Ram hunt. Dr. Gary Ross was our guest and he experienced a true wilderness hunt of a lifetime and took a very respectable trophy on his hunt. Congrats to him!

Our 2019 season started off strong and held steady throughout the season.  In the  month of August we guided seven pronghorn hunters on the Shugart Ranch and harvested seven good pronghorn bucks – 100% successful.

Well the 2017 hunting season is in the books! You can hunt some of the best elk spots on the planet and there are a few things that can affect the outcome, but there is one thing we cannot control and that is Mother Nature! So anyway, it seems to me that the bulls started rutting in mid-August and, for the most part, it was over by October, which made rifle and muzzle loader hunts somewhat difficult. The total number of elk hunters we had at our camps was 36 and we harvested 22 bulls. 14 elk hunters did not harvest.  4 of the 14 missed, 8 of them turned down bulls they would have been very happy to kill on the last day and then 2 of them wounded bulls and one of the bulls was never recovered.
