New Mexico Big Game Hunting

NM HUNTCO (formerly JFW Ranch Consulting) connects serious hunters with New Mexico's best big game opportunities. Jim and Kelly Welles built the operation around one principle: come as a client, leave as a friend.

NM HUNTCO customizes hunts for:

• •Elk - public and private land
• •Mule Deer & Coues Whitetail - draw and outfitted hunts
• •Antelope - Santa Rosa, Caprock, Ima, and Sunshine Mesa ranches
• •Bighorn & Barbary Sheep - selective opportunities
• •Exotics - Persian Ibex, Oryx, and specialty game

Jim served on the original Landowner Sign-Up System Committee and the A-Plus Task Force—he knows New Mexico's Game Commission inside and out. More importantly, he's hunted most of the state's public units and previewed premier ranches. That experience translates to real guidance on the New Mexico draw process, which stops most hunters cold.

Justin Hendricks manages operations. The guide crew has significant equity in the business—their success directly impacts theirs. This isn't a revolving-door operation; these are hunters who care about your hunt.

Jim is an Associate Broker with Chas. S. Middleton and Son, one of the Southwest's leading ranch brokerages. If you're looking at New Mexico ranch properties, he can move detailed information quickly.

Important: Report harvests by February 15th to avoid rejection of future draw applications.
