Full description and what we offer

RB Outfitters has been running big game hunts for over 20 years out of Chama, New Mexico. They focus on elk, mule deer, turkey, antelope, and black bear in the mountains just south of the Colorado state line—a three-hour drive from Albuquerque.

They operate rustic camps in high-game-density areas. You get:

•Professional guides with real mountain experience
•Lodging in big wall tents or cabins depending on the hunt
•All meals cooked over campfire and in Dutch ovens (not just hotdogs)
•Your choice of public land or private landowner permits

•Private permits are key: They don't come from the draw system, so you're guaranteed a tag. That matters when you're planning a hunt.

Hunt Type	Weapon Options	Season	Price
Elk (Public)	Rifle, Muzzleloader, Archery	Sept–Jan	$3,800–$4,500
Elk (Private/Cow)	Rifle, Muzzleloader, Archery	Sept–Jan	$2,000–$4,500

"We focus on hunting and are able to do so while providing the essentials." — From their site

They're not trying to run a resort. The camps are rustic on purpose—that's the hunt experience. Wall tents, campfire cooking, mountain views of elk and mule deer. Three-day Merriam turkey hunts. Elk hunts in areas with legitimate trophy-caliber game. If you want archery, they run archery. If you want rifle, that works too. Muzzleloader season? They've got it.

When the seasons close, they shift to fly-fishing, horseback riding, camping, and photography trips in the same mountains. Brook trout in creeks and streams. Family outings. Cowboy poetry by the campfire.
