TBD UNKNOWN , Claunch, NM 87011(Socorro County)

Buenaventura Ranch North- All deeded, pretty hard to compare: monster elk, some of the best trophy antelope in the state of NM and giant mule deer bucks on a cattle ranch that can carry 140+ AUM, all calling this +/- 7520 acres home! Located in the western edge of BGU 18 (rifle friendly), just 90 miles from Albuquerque, 6 miles west of Claunch NM, this hunting and cattle ranch offers 2 operating wells with electric submersible pumps, approximately 9 miles of submerged pipeline, 12 pipeline drinkers, 7 dirt tanks, +/- 35 miles of perimeter and cross fencing on 10 pastures, averaging between 60 and 1700 acres. There's a 3 bedroom/1bath recently renovated ranch house, a storage building, and working pens. Great game habitat; heavy wooded areas with pinon and cedar provide the ideal environment for elk and mule deer while open range spaces are full of trophy antelope. Lots of grass compliments of Buenaventura with very little grazing taking place for the last few seasons, as the ranch has been primarily managed for hunting. Bordering the Monte Prieto Ranch to the west, and private holdings on all sides, this ranch is 100% deeded, allowing you to have full control over your property. For 2014, the ranch qualifies for 3 mature bull elk tags, 4 antelope buck tags (observed antelope population on the ranch easily exceeds 100 animals), and OTC mule deer tags (included with sale if closed by 8/1/14). With real-time trail cam documentation on 12 drinkers that are kept full 24/7, bull elk are already approaching the 350+ mark, mule deer heading towards the 175+ mark, and one of the best trophy antelope areas in the country. Speed goats making the B&C could be harvested on this ranch every year. To top it off, occasionally free ranging Oryx, (Gemsbok) and whitetail also find sanctuary on the ranch. The coyote and bobcat calling can be excellent, and every drinker provides for a wonderful place to limit out on doves during season. Listed by Greg Liddle
