Full description and what we offer
Lil' Joe's Big Game Hunting is a small, hard-hunting guide service operating in South Central New Mexico since the early 2000s. Owner and primary guide Joe Troyer has been working with hunters since 1999 and holds a professional outfitter license from the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (licensed since 2009).
LJBGH specializes in: - Black bear hunts - Mountain lion hunts
They also participate in New Mexico's 10% special drawing pool and can arrange guided hunts for other species—ask about availability.
Most hunts take place near the Lincoln National Forest near Ruidoso, though the operation adjusts based on snow conditions and zone closures. Backup locations include: - Cibola National Forest - Carson National Forest - Santa Fe National Forest
They run a pack of experienced hounds and pride themselves on giving clients an inside look at how hound hunting actually works. The operation attracts a mix of ages and experience levels—their photo gallery shows youth, men, and women coming back year after year. Most clients book their next season immediately.
The majority of repeat clients are booked the season after their hunt. That says something.
LJBGH is fully licensed, permitted, and insured through the State of New Mexico, U.S. Forest Service, and BLM.
Joe maintains active permits across all hunting lands. This matters: it's illegal to hire an unlicensed guide in New Mexico.
