License fees do not include a mandatory $65 annual Game-hunting License, $1 vendor fee, $4 habitat management and access validation fee, $10 habitat stamp or $15 administrative charge for landowner permits.
Public land hunts with landowner permit:
This hunt is more expensive since a landowner permit has to be purchased and added to the price of the hunt. Landowner permits run anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the unit and trophy quality.
Public land draw hunts:
These hunts are a great value. They're the same exact hunt minus the landowner permit.

Our youth hunters have several exceptional opportunities to hunt big game in New Mexico.To be eligible for these hunts, each applicant must be younger than 18 years of age on the beginning date of the hunt.Youth hunters must be certified and provide proof of successfully passing a hunter education course.Youth hunters must carry their hunter's safety certificate with them at all times during the hunt.Youth hunters that hunt with H&A Outfitters, Inc. will receive a substantial discount on their hunt.
New Mexico offers several big game hunts for mobility impaired hunters.Before a hunter can apply for these hunts, they must be issued a four-year Mobility Impaired Card.Forms and more information can be obtained from New Mexico Game and Fish Department.
Non-hunters, depending on the circumstances, may or may not be able to accompany you on your hunt. (This does not apply to our youth hunters) If circumstances allow your non-hunter to accompany you as a guest on your hunt, they may or may not be allowed to participate in the hunt itself. This should be discussed prior to booking the hunt. There is a $200 per day non-hunter fee for the entire hunt. Non-negotiable. There is a limit of one non-hunter guest per client/hunter or hunting party.
Our fully guided hunts take place in the best Game Management Units in New Mexico for Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, desert and Rocky bighorn sheep, ibex, oryx, barbary sheep and pronghorn. We offer these hunts for our clients that join our fully guided application service. We make this service as convenient as we possibly can for you. Once you have joined our application service, we apply you annually for whichever tags you like in the outfitter's draw pool. Once we have successfully drawn a tag or tags on your behalf, you will be contacted by phone or email about the details of your hunt. Your hunt will be fully guided and outfitted. Clients that apply for elk, deer, or pronghorn as solo applicants will be charged an additional 1x1 fee. The #1 rule when you are on a paid fully guided hunt is never try to guide your guide, that's why you paid us. Your guide is a professional, let his knowledge and expertise work for you. You'll be glad you did!

Our camps consist of either wall tents, ranch bunk houses, cabins or motels, depending on your hunt. Tent camps are part of a true western hunting experience. Each sleep tent will be equipped with propane heaters, lanterns, and comfortable cots and pads Hot showers will be available at our tent camps. A separate cook tent will be set up where meals will be prepared and eaten there's always plenty to eat! Alcoholic beverages will not be provided by H & A Outfitters but are not prohibited. You're welcome to bring your own and drink in moderation at the end of the day. The way it works you arrive to camp, or a pre-determined meeting place the day before your scheduled hunt date usually after 1:00 pm and depart on the last day of your scheduled hunt date. If you are hunting the very last evening, you should be packed and ready to depart when you return to camp. Note: On archery hunts, if a client hunts the evening before his scheduled hunt date, he won't hunt the evening of the last day of his scheduled hunt. Also, if a client has wounded his quarry or has had several opportunities during their hunt, they will not hunt the last afternoon of their scheduled hunt date. Meals: Will start the first day of your scheduled hunt day Lunch will be the last meal served on the last day of your scheduled hunt date.
Our guides and cooks work very hard to make your hunt as enjoyable and successful as possible. GRATUITY IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR HUNT PRICE "how much"? Here's a suggested guideline to go by: For guides figure 15% of your hunt cost. Example: $5,000 hunt cost = $750 gratuity. For cooks figure $25 per day so on a 5 day hunt it would be $125 and so forth.
H&A Outfitters, Inc. strongly encourages the use of 25 grain fixed blades, cut on contact broadheads rather than expandable broadheads. The only expandable we kind of like is the Rage Extreme 4Blade Hybrid 25 grain. A heavier arrow always seems to pass through with ease compared to a light arrow with a light tip. 85% of our shots are under 35 yards and the other 15% are under 50 yards. We strongly suggest sites with multiple pins. ONE SITE PINS will cost you opportunities. We have seen it happen for over 30 years and we strongly discourage one pin sites or expendable's at our camps. It's not the right equipment for the hunt. We're not trying to see who the best shot is or who has the fastest arrow, we're trying to get elk killed. This isn't TV and most of the time hunters that use one pin sites that should be in kill mode, they are screwing around with that one pin site and not concentrating on aiming small, missing small and killing their quarry. We work hard to present opportunities for our clients, and we want to be able to capitalize on our opportunities and having the right equipment is one of the key aspects for doing this. I know a lot of guys that book hunts think they know more about hunting and killing elk than the outfitter and guides LOL but we're trying to give you good advice from our lifetime of archery hunting elk in New Mexico.
Now on to rifles. First and foremost, 6.5 Creedmoor has no place at an elk camp. They're meant for long range competition shooting and varmints. 30 caliber rifles are and always will be the best elk rifles. Plain and simple. Same concept as broadheads, the heavier the bullet the better and definitely never bring copper bullets to one of our camps. If you live in California and that's all they sell in that state, let us know. You can pre-order and send them to us and we will have them at camp for you. Scopes are very important. With today's equipment there is no reason any of our clients can't make a 500-yard shot. It doesn't matter if you have shot 500 yards in your life or not. If you zero in a good scope with a turret properly at 100 yards, you're good to 1000 yards.
