We do not offer guided hunts. For your hunting trip, we can only provide tents, packing out you or your game, and dropping off your provisions into Unit 45. New Mexico has different hunting rules than other states, so make sure you check out the New Mexico Game & Fish website to understand the rules and to get an idea about the draw and the 10% pool.
