| Since 1979, Ute Creek Outfitters
has been providing the
discriminating hunter with the
best opportunity to harvest North
America's premier big game
trophies; the Rocky Mountain Elk
and Mule Deer. Our dedication lies in providing each client with
the opportunity of a lifetime to harvest and obtain a trophy
class mature animal and because of our dedication to
these two species, we specialize in these two
magnificent animals. Louis Trujillo and Lee Vigil
have extensive experience in hunting Elk, Mule
Deer, Turkey, Antelope, Bear, and Cougar.
Together, both Louis and Lee and the UCO staff
of many have the necessary expertise and
resources available to provide you with the best
opportunity to harvest a trophy bull or buck.
Our hunts
for trophy elk and mule deer are conducted on the Rio Costilla
Park Ranch. This
private ranch is located in north central New
Mexico and encompasses over 82,000 acres of
pristine mountain terrain, grassy meadows,
granite rock faces, river bottoms and High
Mountain clean air. Few areas in America can
boast of finer elk and mule deer hunting. Rio
Costilla Park is part of the triangle of magical
names known to experienced hunters...Vermejo
Park and Valle Vidal. Located within what is
known as Game Management Unit 55, Rio
Costilla Park is the third jewel. New Mexico Unit #55 which
is predominately private land has |
continuously for the past
five years maintained a general
elk harvest rate of over 70%. There is no question that the
unit and the Rio Costilla Park Ranch have an abundance of elk
and mule
deer. The Rio Costilla Park big game management is second to
none. Only a limited amount of hunters are allowed to harvest,
and with
a 5 X 5 or better policy on elk and 4 X 4 on mule deer, trophy
game is in abundance. The ranch has employed extensive trophy
big game
management considerations for over 20 years.
An average trophy bull will score 300-340 BC points. Bulls in
the range of 350 to 400 have been spotted on the ranch, but
are the exception. An average Mule Deer will range from 135
to 180. Again,
larger deer have been spotted and logged. There are no drawing
requirements to receive a license for either species we hunt. Licenses
are guaranteed.
Because both of us are members/owners of the Ranch,
we can obtain hunting opportunities and make them available
to the general public. As members/owners we also know every
inch of the
ranch and have studied the game, habitat and environment for
over 20 years. We are locals and spend numerous personal hours
watching, spotting and logging down our findings, assuring upon your
arrival
to have game located in several areas of the ranch.
