Wheaton Creek Ranch

Overview

All animals on Wheaton Creek Ranch are part of a holistic management program. For over 30 years the ranch has protected it’s mule deer populations. Due to hunting pressure through out New Mexico we saw deer populations fall at alarmingly rates. New Mexico Game and Fish greatly reduced the number of hunting opportunities for deer and we are now seeing greatly increased numbers through our area. Important in the balance of both the fauna and flora, mule deer are most needed to browse the gamble oak and brush in the Rocky Mountain landscape. Wheaton Creek Ranch continues to manage its growing population of Mule Deer, but expect that soon we will be able to offer some limited hunting opportunities for these amazing animals.
