About Rio Nutrias Adventures

The ​Ranch ​at ​Rio ​Nutrias ​is ​a ​ranch ​in ​the ​mountains ​of ​Northern ​New ​Mexico, ​near ​Chama ​and ​Tierra ​Amarilla. ​Our ​ranch ​spans ​portions ​of ​New ​Mexico ​Game ​Management ​Units ​4 ​and ​51 ​and ​borders ​the ​Carson ​National ​Forest, ​giving ​our ​guests ​access ​to ​a ​rugged, ​varied ​landscape.

​

Our ​hunting ​tradition ​began ​in ​the ​early ​1980s ​when ​our ​dad ​started ​welcoming ​hunters ​to ​Rio ​Nutrias. ​Today, ​we ​are ​proud ​to ​continue ​what ​he ​started ​and ​uphold ​the ​high ​standards ​he ​set ​for ​the ​hunt, ​the ​ranch, ​and ​the ​way ​guests ​are ​treated.

​

We ​offer ​private ​land ​elk ​and ​deer ​hunting, ​on-ranch ​lodging, ​and ​a ​personal ​hunting ​experience ​that ​is ​intentionally ​kept ​small ​and ​focused. ​Rio ​Nutrias ​is ​our ​family ​ranch ​and ​our ​home, ​not ​simply ​a ​property ​used ​during ​hunting ​season.

​

We ​believe ​a ​great ​hunt ​is ​about ​more ​than ​the ​harvest. ​It ​is ​the ​country, ​the ​camaraderie, ​the ​early ​mornings, ​the ​stories ​at ​the ​end ​of ​the ​day, ​and ​being ​welcomed ​onto ​a ​place ​that ​has ​been ​cared ​for ​by ​the ​same ​family ​for ​generations.
