As fall approaches and the leaves cover golf courses everywhere, a sporting mans mind turns toward an American tradition as old as time itself, the hunt. We all have memories of camping with Uncle Dennis and getting up early to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and sizzling bacon. Those were the days when game was plentiful and restrictions few. As great as those days were (and no one would trade them for love or money) the one thing missing for many of us was the thrill of a Boone and Crocket animal with our tag on it. Fortunately, the Mescalero tribe in Southern New Mexico prides itself on big game trophy hunts which be one of these memories that will stay for a lifetime.
The Mescalero offers sub-alpine and valley terrain that is excellent habitat for trophy animals like Bull Elk, Cow Elk, Bear and Turkey. Their Trophy Elk hunt is the center piece for the Mescalero Big Game Hunt and they recently recorded two 400-class bulls taken…this makes the Mescalero program “World Class”.
The Mescalero have worked their herd development program for over 30 years and the results are outstanding. The Mescalero Apaches have proven themselves to be excellent stewards of the land with a recent Elk count totaling over 4200 head.
Cabela’s, the large sporting good retailer has partnered with the Mescalero as their exclusive sponsor. And why wouldn’t they, the Mescalero Big Game Hunt boasts a success rate of ninety-seven percent with an average Elk score of 349 including several scoring over 400.
