Deadwood Mountain Outfitters

Deadwood Mountain Outfitters is a licensed, insured hunting outfitter based in Ruidoso, New Mexico, with more than 20 years of experience guiding public-land big-game hunts across Carson, Lincoln, and Gila National Forest units, including the Valle Vidal and Gila Wilderness. Hunters pursue elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and Barbary sheep using bow, rifle, or muzzleloader, with DIY, semi-guided, and fully guided packages available depending on how much support a hunter wants in the field. Semi-guided and fully guided options include camp accommodations, while DIY hunters handle their own logistics on national forest land. Deadwood’s unit offerings span rugged, high-elevation terrain from the Sacramento Mountains to the Gila’s trophy elk country, where bulls have scored over 400 inches. Guides bring decades of familiarity with each permitted unit’s access points and elk movement patterns.
