Prominent Land Features

Hunting in eastern New Mexico unfolds across vast, semi‐arid high‐plains ranchland marked by gently rolling grasslands, mixed‐grass prairie, and brushy patches of mesquite and sand sage. Controlled livestock grazing and strategically placed water wells create a varied mosaic of short, flush‐friendly grass and taller cover where quail flourish. The 20,000-acre private ranch complements adjacent public range, offering uninterrupted expanses of native grasses, occasional stock tanks, and shelter belts—all centered around a historic lodge that places hunters at the heart of this iconic upland habitat.

Amenities

Hunts in eastern New Mexico are based around a historic lodge set on a sprawling private ranch. Accommodations consist of comfortable beds in well-appointed rooms within the lodge, each maintained with modern climate control for year-round comfort. Common gathering areas provide space for briefings and relaxation, and the lodge’s central location gives immediate access to the surrounding grasslands, mixed-prairie and brush cover where quail and other upland birds thrive.
