Hello:

My name is Jim Welles. I own and operate JFW Ranch Consulting, LLC, with my wife Kelly at 10600 Eagle Rock Ave, Albuquerque, NM 87122. My office phone number is 505.294.7861. My cell number is 505-967-6562. Our e-mail address is JFWRCcomcast.net. Kelly and I have been guiding and outfitting in NM over 25 years now.

Every year we buy a certain amount of Land Owner Authorizations in GMU 2 in NW New Mexico for our clients that do not draw. Well, we had a great draw this year and we have 8 landowner authorizations to sell that are good for either muzzy or rifle on Oct 7-11 Muzzy or Oct 14-18 rifle. These authorizations are Unit Wide meaning that you can hunt on any public lands that you have legal access to or any private land that is signed up unit wide, of which there are 9 ranches with a total of 17,123 deeded acres to hunt in addition to the public. There is a huge amount of public land to hunt.

Unit 2 is coming on strong in NM with bigger and better bulls being harvested every year. This population is in good shape. Very few cows are harvested in this unit meaning the unit is expanding in terms of population. A majority of this unit is pinon juniper rimrock at elevations around 6500 to 7500 feet. A typical 4 year old bull will be a 280-300 inch 6x6 bull. Our guides have had clients take bulls at the 320+ level. We keep hearing of bigger bulls being seen in this unit.

The cost of a landowner tag is $3,000 + tax and license for a total of $3,840. THIS IS NOT A GUIDED HUNT. However, if you want a guide we can add a guide for $450/day based on availability.

There a lots of places to camp. There are a couple of places to stay in motels. One is near some of the best trout fishing in the SW on the San Juan.

I will be posting pictures of bulls taken by our clients following this ad. I will be adding another pic every couple of days.

Thanks For Looking!

Question: I don't believe authorizations have been released and won't till end of month or 1st of June. Are you assuming you'll have these tags or did game and fish come out early like the draw?

You are correct....not out yet but yes, I have them contracted with the owners.

Still have a few of these Landowner Authorizations available.

The following are a husband and wife team that took 2 bulls with the same rifle in Unit 2 on the same hunt 2015.

I have requested copies of ALL the Unit Wide Ranch Maps from the NM Game Dept to provide to a a purchaser of a tag.

Points of clarification. A landowner authorization is valid for 1 hunt code only.

There is a hunt code for the muzzy 10/7-11 and a hunt code for the rifle 10/14-18.

You are able to hunt all public lands with legal access (lots of public) and all ranches that are signed up as "unit wide". I have made a request to the department for copies of maps of those ranches. This is in the works. Last year there were over 17,000 deeded acres signed up in these ranches.

These tags will be good for public lands and UW ranches in all of 2a, 2b, and 2c.

Please feel free to call me or text me at 505.967.6562 with any further questions. At this point I think we only have 5 landowner authorizations left.

Thanks AR-Jim

HELLO AR-
