Thal Ranch is 5,000 acres of privately owned New Mexico property. We are located in the foothills of the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountains. You will find no better place to hunt than the Eastern Slopes of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. You have the opportunity to live well and rough it at the same time. Our Hunters Cabin has all the modern conveniences of home and is surrounded by hay fields which usually draw elk mornings and evenings. A very fine herd of Trophy Elk call Thal Ranch home every fall. Thal Ranch is privately owned and our guided elk hunts have an excellent reputation for a consistent production. We are happy that we have returning hunters every year to enjoy the property and to assist in the management of our herd. Overgrazing ceases to be a problem. The results are a healthier and stronger elk. The environment also benefits.
