Introduction

I’m gearing up to plan an elk hunting trip to Vermejo Park Ranch, and I’m hoping to gather some insights from anyone who’s been there or done the hunt.

Pricing Information

First off, I’m really interested in the hunting prices at Vermejo Park Ranch. I’ve seen a variety of figures floating around but nothing definitive. Are there different packages depending on the time of year or the type of elk hunt?

I’m particularly curious about:

  • Guided vs. Unguided Hunts: What are the price differences?
  • Duration of the Hunt: Do prices vary significantly if I decide on a 3-day versus a week-long hunt?
  • Additional Costs: Are there any other fees I should be aware of, such as lodging, meals, or licenses?

Experience Sharing

Also, if anyone has hunted there before, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did you feel the cost was justified for the experience?

  • Quality of the Guides: Were they knowledgeable and helpful?
  • Game Availability: How was the elk population during your visit?
  • Overall Satisfaction: Would you recommend this ranch for elk hunting?

Conclusion

I’m really looking forward to any information you can share. Pricing, experience details, tips on the best times to hunt, or even any contact info for the ranch would be super helpful. Appreciate any help you can provide to make my first elk hunt memorable!

Absolutely! And don’t forget the amenities. A cabin with better views really ramps up the fee!

Is there a set price per day, or is it a flat rate for the whole stay? That can influence how long you want to hunt.

7

It’s generally a flat rate for the entire hunt, but it’s broken down into daily fees. The longer you stay, the more it will cost, but you might get discounts for extended stays!

I think it’s worth it! What you get in terms of hunting experience and the overall environment is unique.

Don’t forget to factor in gear rentals! That can sneak up on you, especially if you don’t own quality equipment. How much more does that add?

Very true. I heard gear rentals at the ranch can be around $200-$300 more, depending on what you need.

That adds up for sure! But honestly, can you really put a price on a memorable hunting experience with elk?
