New Mexico Outfitter #1
 These New Mexico black bear Hunts occur on private land near Raton, New Mexico. These are spot and stalk hunts. New Mexico is famous for its numerous color phases
of bears and will offer the hunter up to 50% opportunity on color phase bears. A pure
black bear is more of a rarity in New Mexico than common place.
The cost of this bear hunt includes arrangements to purchase your hunting license,
courtesy transportation during the hunt, use of a guide, and trophy preparation of the
bear after harvest. The hunter is responsible for transportation to Raton, NM, motel accommodations, remaining meals, license, and personal gear.
2010 SCI Outfitter of the Year
This is rocky, mountainous terrain with the elevations running from 7500 feet to 9500 feet. Their areas hold good populations of bears. The bear hunt can be combined with an antelope hunt which would occur prior to the bear
hunt in August.
Quotas: New Mexico operates under a zone management system with quotas for total number of bears that can be harvested ,and the number of female bears that can be harvested. You should book early for these hunts because
once the quota is reached, the season is closed. In 2009 the season closed on October 1, 2009.
