The three hunts of the program are all superb hunts. I am promoting this package to encourage participation in Unit 6A. This is an exceptional unit which we've been developing as a backup option for our hunters. Unit 34 is a consistent good producer and very popular with my archery hunters. Often my hunters will only apply for Unit 34 and I'll get a good group in 34 and only a few in 6A. Don't pass up 6A in your hunt consideration!

I suggest you avail yourself of this excellent opportunity to optimize your NM archery hunt prospects by applying for the Archery Elk Program Package.

Booking a Hunt

 
Read and then print out this page for step-by-step instructions on booking a hunt with San Juan River Outfitters.

Since there are very few "over-the-counter" licenses for elk, deer, or oryx in New Mexico, the first step of booking a hunt is getting you into the lottery drawing for a license. Much of what you’ll need to do involves that application process. By choosing us as your outfitter, your application will be processed through the outfitter pool, which greatly improves your odds of drawing a tag. Our commitment is to help you make an educated hunt choice and submit a proper application by the April 9, 2008 deadline (February 6, 2008 for Oryx hunts). By applying with us you are committing to use our services for your hunt if you are
drawn for a tag. The most convenient method of application is via the internet so this instruction will refer to that method. If you don’t have internet access, don’t want to use a credit card, or just prefer to submit a paper application, contact me and I’ll mail you the forms you’ll need.

Getting started.  Choosing a Hunt

Your first step will be determining what species you want to hunt, Deer , Elk, or Oryx and then what weapons choice you prefer; Archery, Muzzleloader, or Rifle If you will be hunting both deer and elk, you will submit a separate application for each species. Both deer and elk applications fall under the April 9, 2008 (Draw 2) deadline. Oryx is also a separate application and falls in the February 6, 2008 (Draw 1) deadline. You will be asked later which deadline you’re applying for. Turkey hunts don't require entry into the lottery drawing. Turkey tags are available over-the-counter. Simply call me and schedule the dates for your turkey hunt.

Next you will choose a hunt(s) from our schedule, which you’ll find at left. The various dates, hunt units, weapons choices and hunt options are spelled out here. I know you may have questions when it comes to a final decision on your hunt so please feel free to contact me directly. I am always happy to give you some advice on the pros and cons of the various choices. When you find the hunt that suits you, make note of the “Hunt Code”. You’ll need this code for your "First Choice" slot on your application. I also urge you to consider some alternate hunts to use as a second and third choice on your application, or chose one of our 3 hunt “Program Hunts”. These "backup" hunts greatly improve your odds of hunting in 2008. (I do not suggest you choose the 4th choice option on your
application)

You can each apply separately, but understand one of you may draw and the other(s) not).
