Ojo Caliente Outfitters

Ojo Caliente Outfitters operates on private ranches they own outright in the eastern Sierra Madres of northwestern Chihuahua—about 250 miles southwest of El Paso. They don't lease hunting rights to anyone else, which means you won't cross paths with other hunters during your hunt.
