Some years we can get an archery elk landowner permit on a private ranch in northern New Mexico. The landowner's family kept the vouchers the last two years. These allow you to buy a tag from the state and hunt the ranch, which covers 2,500 acres on the Johnson Mesa and bordering a big ranch that offers high-dollar guided hunts. This hunt is always highly productive on bulls in the 5x5 to 320 class, and there have been some bigger bulls. You can take a deer and a black bear, too. In 2007 the ranch produced a 32-inch muley, and all the hunters on the ranch killed bull elk, two killed deer and one got a bear.
