Nice buck ! Is quality of goats different for each ranch ? Is this a landowner tag and can the tag be used for the whole unit or is it ranch specific? What unit or unnits are the ranched located in ?

I have hunted with Jim and he is a top notch guy.
Go if you can.

All Hunts are ranch only. The 2 ranches at Santa Rosa are unit 40. The Rio Hondo is 32. We've had several trophies harvested from Santa Rosa over the years but not as of yet from Rio Hondo-different gene pool down there.

Thank you for inquiring.

Thanks Dogcat

I might take one there jim. It depends on what my wife adds on to the trips this year. we will be out all of july and then half of September. If she decides shes adding animals onto our safaris it will push into antelope season. Im not completely sure on all our dates as of yet but if Im in the us during antelope season I will get with you. Since these hunts are in my backyard is there a possibility of getting a reduction in rates for not needing a guide?

Tony-The owners of the ranches require us to guide hunters. The hunt date will be Oct 5th this year. Might work.......?

Jim

This buck was taken off the Rio Hondo in 2011. He was reported to gross at 80. Last fall did not produce anything that big......70-74 if I recall correctly.

Smoker buck Santa Rosa 2010

This buck was taken in 2008 at Santa Rosa

Have you checked your e-mails?

Yes...have we neglected to answer you? We have the preferences set to receive them anyway.

Sent you a note on 2/8. From jpgrego

I'm sorry we didn't. Would you please e mail us at JFWRC@comcast.net. jim welles www.newmexicobiggamehunting.com

Jason's Rio Hondo Buck-

3 spots left at Santa Rosa, 3 spots at Rio Hondo open

Those are all exceptional goats compared to what we generally have in Wyo. I'm sure life for them is easier than our climate and for a "lifetime trophy" the price is fair.
My best here to date (2008) on public land about a mile from home. 15" which is on the high side of "good" up here.

Nice speed goats!

Need a little training however on trophy pics and prep!!!

A couple of baby wipes go along way towards cleaning up the gore and it would be a good idea to at least push the bloody tongue back in.

Real men use Sagebrush to wipe their butts not baby wipes ! (that's a joke)

Probably won't like this either. What a 80 gr TTSX does to a speed goat's interior after exiting my 1885 @3997 fps. End to end .... bang flop.

Come on guys...this doesn't help with what I'm trying to accomplish.
Please delete your pictures from my offering.
Thanks
Jim

bump for a good outfit

Dreambuck taken back in 2008

We still have 3 spots at Santa Rosa and 3 spots at the Rio Hondo open for this coming fall. Jim

TTT-

In negotiation for a ranch at Wagon Mound as well. This hunt will be August 24-26. Price will be slightly higher @ $3,500.

Spots still open at Rio Hondo and Santa Rosa. Thanks-Jim

We have sold one of the 96 Ranch Antelope hunts as MI,meaning one of the hunters is Mobility Impaired. He will hunt August 17. As such, we have 2 spots left on this 60,000 deeded acre ranch 10 miles SE of Santa Rosa. There will only be 4 hunters on this ranch for antelope during this regular hunt. Call with questions.This hunt date is October 6-8.

Thank you AR. Jim

The remaining 2 hunts on the 96 Ranch have been sold. At this time we have the 3 Rio Hondo remaining. Thanks AR.

Jim

Good Morning AR-

At this point only 2 pronghorn hunts remain on the Rio Hondo. I am willing to let both of these private land guided with lodging hunts go for $4,200 + tax. Find a buddy, grab your son, daughter, or wife and go hunt these speedgoats.

Contact us at JFWRC@comcast.net and see our site at www.biggamehunting.com

These are Sold......thanks AR-Jim
