Mule Deer

Private Land Mule Deer Hunt #1

This hunt is located out of Vaughn, New Mexico on the Vicente Ranch. This ranch is 78,000 acres in size, a mixture of antelope and deer habitat. Elevation on the ranch is approximately 5500 feet. The area is a mixture of Pinon/Juniper, Ponderosa Pine, and high desert grasslands. Kiowa has commercially hunted and managed this ranch since 1991. A maximum of fourteen hunters will be allowed on the ranch this year. We have continually had excellent success on mature mule deer on this ranch. The cost of the hunt includes meals, courtesy transportation during the hunt, appropriate number of guides, and trophy preparation of the animal. The hunter is responsible for their license, personal gear, weapon, motel costs and transportation to and from the camp.

Private Land Mule Deer Hunt #2 (Pre-Rut and Rut)

Kiowa Hunting Service has enrolled our deer ranches in the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish’s Deer Enhancement Program. Because of this program, Kiowa has received a special set of permits that are able to be used outside of the normal deer hunting dates set by the state. We receive one set of permits that we can use during the month of November and another set that can be used any dates in December and January. With the peak of the mule deer rut normally occurring in mid to late December, we are able to offer a very rare opportunity to our hunters. These hunts are five days in length and limited in number of hunters for each hunt.

Public Land Mule Deer Hunt

Rifle deer hunts are offered on public land in Game Management unit 51. The unit is located in North Central New Mexico. The area holds some outstanding trophy animals. Though the population is not large, for the real trophy hunters this is a great hunt. This hunt can be combined with an elk rifle hunt for a combination hunt.

The bow deer hunts occur in September and may be combined with a bow elk hunt. The hunt occurs in both units 51 and units 52. The odds of drawing these permits are excellent.
