New Mexico offers some of the very best opportunities for youth hunters (under 18) to enjoy the experience of hunting a trophy mule deer, elk, antelope or free range oryx, ibex and even bighorn sheep. These are special seasons for youth hunters only, and are often at the best time of the year possible. New Mexico offers up a youth only bull elk hunt in the middle of the rut. New Mexico also added some rut mule deer hunts in 2019 that are world class hunts for big deer. These hunts are truly a life changing event for most young hunters.
