Jicarilla and Mescalero Cow Hunts

Call me crazy, I might not want to personally hunt there. Bu, I might not mind driving around with a guide and hunter there for a day. Lots of LOLs

At this point I want to just shoot a cow and see how crazy it gets. Show up with a bottle of whiskey and have a party 😂
 
How was that? I can't tell if its actually open still or not.
The casino has been closed since covid. We go to Chama every year (since 1990) for my annual elk hunt, and made a trip to Dulce for the casino once or twice each time just for something to do before and after the hunt. The hotel used to be a Best Western, but has since changed it's name. Restaurant in Hotel is pretty good, and the "Sports Bar" next to the hotel is great for watching football during hunting season and grabbing burgers and fries. Raiders and Cowboys are the most favored teams there. There is even a chinese restaurant about 3 miles east of town if you want something else.

The Jicarilla might be a good option for a cow hunt.

I hunted the Jicarilla on a bull hunt about 15 years ago. My guide was Waymore Collado. I would recommend him but his name isn’t listed on the guide list now. There is a Waylon Collado that might be a relative. I know he had a brother that was guiding.

Guide fees then were $1,500 for a five day hunt. Don’t know what they are now. But a cow hunt on the Jicarilla should be a one day hunt and you might be able to split it with a buddy.

The bull tag was a drawing when I was there but I think they changed that to first come. I stayed in the hotel there in Dulce.
 
It looks like the Jicarilla recommends staying the lodge in Chama or pagosa springs due to lack of a hotel now. @wind754 do you have a picture of your bull?
