Description
Galleta Ranch has been a family-owned and operated cattle ranch for over 80 years. The family has been operating a big game hunting program providing outfitted and guided hunts for Elk, Mule deer and Pronghorn. This ranch lies within Big Game Unit 12, has healthy elk numbers and has produced exceptional bull elk! Bulls scoring over 350 inches have been harvested on this ranch. The ranch offers exceptional elk hunting opportunities. Mule deer have only been hunted on a limited basis, with bucks harvested being of older age class. Pronghorn utilize the ranch and have been hunted on a limited basis. The property currently qualifies for elk landowner authorizations as issued by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, offering the owner many options for how landowner authorizations are used. Private land mule deer and pronghorn licenses are unlimited and sold over the counter, so landowners can allow as many hunters as they choose to meet their management objectives. Other wildlife species include cougar, black bear, bobcat, grey fox, badger, prairie dogs, dove, and a few scaled quail. Three small hunter cabins and a bath house were built in 2015 to offer hunters a rustic yet comfortable stay. The cabins reside next to the stunning red sandstone rock bluff formations, nestled amongst tall ponderosa trees. A 21x51-foot metal pole barn, a 4,500-water storage tank, and a walk-in cooler are conveniently located near the hunter cabins. A network of water lines from the electric well provides water to wildlife/cattle drinkers and the hunter cabins facilities. The ranch offers good forage and water availability for maintaining elk, mule deer, and pronghorn use on the property. The terrain consists of open meadows, beautiful ponderosa pines, Gambel oak, and pinion and juniper trees. Unique Lava rock formations persist throughout pinion/juniper forested areas on the eastern portion of the ranch, adding to the diverse natural resources on the property. The area is rich with historic Native American Puebloan history. Near the path, Spanish conquistadors traveled in search of a medieval myth of golden cities to be found at Cibola. Ruins and fascinating petroglyphs can be found on the ranch. Unbelievable panoramic views of red sandstone bluffs, the majestic Oso Ridge of the Zuni Mountains, and the chain of volcanic craters can be seen from the confines of the ranch. This property is going to make someone happy to own!
