As the official organization for NM Outfitters and Guides, we are proud to represent the finest hunting and fishing professionals in the state of New Mexico. Established in 1978, NMCOG strives to promote and enhance the outdoor recreation industry by supporting ethical hunting practices and wildlife conservation. Our members spend thousands of hours in the field annually and have a practical knowledge regarding location, health, and quality of game populations.
Our hunting outfitters run top quality hunting trips for elk, mule deer, big horn sheep, barbary sheep, oryx, antelope, ibex, bear, cougar, and several types of birds including turkey, waterfowl, and upland game. Fishing outfitters offer first class angling along the well known trout waters of New Mexico including the world-renowned San Juan River.
If hunting and fishing are not quite your style, many of our outfitters also offer recreational vacations which include anything from trail rides to relaxing in comfortable guest ranches.

Clients are responsible for understanding the details of the written contract as well as the services agreed upon.

It is unlawful for a hunter to use an Outfitter's number to apply for the Big Game Draw without having a valid and signed Hunter/Outfitter contract. Does the Outfitter need to physically accompany me on my hunt?
Yes! An Outfitter, or their hired and guide, shall ensure that the client is accompanied by a registered guide or outfitter for at least two days while the hunters license is valid. Outfitters shall provide one registered guide or outfitter in the field for every four hunters. |
