WELCOME TO JX RANCH
Quay, New Mexico!
| This approx. 7,000 acre ranch is located 25 miles straight south of Tucumcari, a small town of 5,500 people conveniently located on I-40, between Albuquerque, New Mexico and Amarillo, Texas. We offer un-guided mule deer hunting, and can also put you in contact with a local guide if you prefer a guided hunt. A comfortable cabin is located at the foot of the heavily wooded Caprock and accommodates four hunters. |
NEW!
You can now buy our natural
beef (never given any hormones, antibiotics or animal bi-products)
- selling whole, 1/2 and 1/4 of a beef. We're taking orders now for late
fall processing.

The ranch has a diverse topography - the north end is mostly open, rolling country, while the south end is very rugged and steep. Traversing the ranch on the south end is the approx. 400 feet tall "Caprock", an abrupt escarpment which separates the Quay valley below from the Llano Estacado with its farm lands on top. Steep canyons come off the rim, mostly covered by pinon and juniper and various browse and brush. The mule deer feed on the alfalfa and wheat fields on top during the night, and seek shelter in the protection of the canyons below the Caprock during the day. The deer are also found in the open country below. |

We offer un-guided mule deer hunting, however, a local guide is available upon request. In the future, we hope to offer turkey, antelope as well as quail hunting. We take only a very limited number of hunters, and you and your friends will have the exclusive trespass right on the ranch for the duration of your hunt. Our hunting package includes un-guided hunting and accommodation in our cabin. We suggest you plan on arriving around noon the day before you start hunting when we will show you the boundaries etc. |
| Our fully equipped cabin, which comfortably accommodates 4 hunters, is conveniently located at the foothill of the Caprock. This is an old homestead we have renovated. It has a fully equipped kitchen area, and we provide sheets and towels. We recommend bringing sleeping-bags for extra warmth in case of cold temperatures. Hunters are expected to read and sign a Liability Release Form and to comply with our "common sense rules" as well as any and all New Mexico hunter rules and regulations. Click here for information. Hunters can rent the cabin for additional nights if they wish to do some scouting before hunting. |

| It is very difficult to get a picture of the deer on the ranch, as they are quick to take off. We have come across some awfully nice buck. |  |
| This buck was taken fall of 2005. Not many buck were seen that year due to mountain lions taking several and keeping the others scattered. In 2006 we had only archery hunters, no rifle hunters, who saw some nice buck but never could get close enough to harvest one. |

Our cancellation
policy is as follows: Cancellation 6 months or more prior to scheduled arrival date - half of deposit refunded; cancellation less than 6 months prior to scheduled arrival date - full deposit retained. In the event we should have to cancel a reservation for whatever reason, we reserve the right to do so, in which case we will promptly refund the full deposit. |

The hunting unit is #40. New Mexico has gone to a draw system starting 2005 on Public Lands. However, you can purchase a Private-Land-Only license over-the-counter. Visit the New Mexico Game and Fish Department's website for application procedure and fees. |
 |
2007 deer hunting seasons are as follows:
| Muledeer Rifle Hunt | Nov. 3 - 7 Nov. 17 - 21 |
$1,200/person |
| Muledeer Archery / Bow Hunt | Jan. 1 - 15, 2008 | $ 800/person |
|
We do everything we can to create an attractive wildlife habitat for the deer and other wildlife to inhabit the ranch. However, since we are not high-fenced, we cannot make any guarantees as to hunt success. As a hunter, you realize that factors beyond our control play a role in the deer's behavior, mainly weather and predators. We do have an occasional lion traveling through the ranch which will scatter the deer. |
We hope to see you here at the JX Ranch
for a fun and rewarding muledeer hunt!
