Elk Crossing Ranch, located in McKinley County, New Mexico, spans 640± deeded acres of well-designed hunting terrain. The property offers a mix of native meadows, strategically planted rye grass food plots making up 80-100 acres, and Pinion/Juniper bedding areas, providing reliable habitat for elk, mule deer, antelope, and other game species. A solar-powered water well and drinker ensure year-round water availability, supporting consistent wildlife activity.

Positioned in Game Management Unit 12, known for producing record-breaking bull elk exceeding 420 points, the ranch has historically received one mature bull tag annually, along with over-the-counter tags for mule deer, Merriam turkeys, black bear, and mountain lion.
