New Mexico Taxidermy: Desert and Mountain Trophy Preservation in the Land of Enchantment

New Mexico's dramatic elevation changes—from the Chihuahuan Desert lowlands to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the vast Gila Wilderness—create hunting and fishing opportunities as diverse as any Western state. The Land of Enchantment's draw system for trophy Rocky Mountain Elk and massive-bodied Mule Deer produces hunts that serious hunters plan for years to draw, with successful sportsmen harvesting some of the West's most impressive specimens from New Mexico's remote high country. Whether you've packed out a six-point bull elk from the San Juan Mountains, taken a heavy-horned mule deer in the breaks country of northwestern New Mexico, or landed a trophy Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout from a pristine mountain stream or Largemouth Bass from Elephant Butte Reservoir, these New Mexico trophies represent genuine achievement in the state's challenging terrain and warrant professional preservation.
