Private Land Elk — Unit 34
Multiple private blocks across Unit 34 — landowner-voucher hunts with no draw, 90%+ success, and a real shot at a 320+ bull on any given day.
Private Land Elk — Unit 34
Compass West manages several private blocks in Unit 34 — some of the best elk ground in New Mexico, all landowner-voucher hunts with no draw required. Across our properties we manage well over 200,000 acres statewide just for elk, and most of our guides have been on this ground for years.
It’s glassing country at its finest: pinion and juniper as far as you can see, with big meadows and open hillsides loaded with elk. Success has been a strong 90%+ most years — 280–320 bulls are the norm, with a number of 320–360+ bulls taken every season.
Early-season bow and October hunts are based from our main camp, where we have a main lodge with a dining room, showers and restrooms — but you’ll get a more authentic elk-camp feel with wall-tent sleeping arrangements, and the bulls will be screaming right outside the door all night. All meals, hot showers and just about anything you need are just steps away. Late-season hunts (November–January) move to a cozy main house here that we own, with a walk-in cooler and everything you could need waiting. Pick the ground and dates that fit you best.
The Unit 34 blocks.
Three distinct private blocks in Unit 34 — each booked individually. All are landowner-voucher hunts with no draw required.
Main Ranch — 80,000+ Acres
Our flagship and the largest privately managed piece in all of Unit 34. You won't cover a quarter of it no matter how hard you hunt — it consistently produces 280–320 bulls, with a number of 320–360+ taken every season.
34 North — 15,000 Acres
Located in the middle of the very best elk habitat in Unit 34, our 15,000 acres of prime real estate is flat, easy-walking ground with plenty of developed water and open bottom land — plus tree stands and tower blinds in just the right spots.
Southwest Block — 35,000 Acres
Some of the best dirt in Unit 34. Our 35,000 acres of private access is high-success spot-and-stalk ground in the pinions and junipers — you can expect to see a pile of bulls and just keep digging for the right one.
All elk packages include guided hunting, lodging, all meals and the landowner voucher — no draw required. Late-season cow hunters arrange local lodging and meals (very close by). Prices are plus NM license and tax.
