New Mexico Outfitter #1
These New Mexico mountain lion hunts will occur around Raton, New Mexico.
The hunts will take place on large private land ranches in the surrounding area.
At this time, they have the hunting rights on better than 500,000 private acres for
the upcoming Mountain Lion season. They will begin hunting lions on December
1, 2006 and hunt until the quotas fill up.
The habitat of these ranches runs from Pinon / Juniper and Ponderosa pine, spruce and timberline. This is rocky, mountainous terrain with the elevations running from 7500 feet to 9500 feet. These ranches hold good populations of lions and the ranch
owners want to reduce their numbers. Most of the ranches are in the elk and mule deer hunting business and they realize that lions and elk or deer don’t mix.
