Sierra Blanca Outfitters

I hunted with Peter about twelves years ago. My ten year old son and I both got bulls. The hunting was tough and Pete worked his tail off to find elk. We didn't get to see a lot of elk on that trip but it was a hunt of a lifetime. We were treated like family by everyone in the area. It was a real fair chase hunt and was physically demanding. The food was outstanding. The following year we went back and hunted antelope. Another great experience for an eleven year old. Antelope were everywhere. Other hunters, guides and the property owners pitched in to ensure a kid got to harvest an animal. Once again the entire area was just fantastic and we were treated like neighbors. I just booked another hunt with Peter.

We had a great hunt! Went for our first Elk hunt and wasn't let down. We came for the second rifle season, and I wished we would have come sooner (the conditions were hot and dry) With that being said, Jeremy and Pete put us in position to kill Bulls! There were 3 in my party and we went 2 for 3 with the chance to go 3 for 3, but my son missed a nice bull. The lodging and hospitality were great, and the food was the best! I would suggest this place to anyone! Can't wait to go back!

I did a 2 day prairie dog hunt with Sierra Blanca Outfitters on 6/6 and 6/7. What I great time I had with Pete and his guides. We hunted with Ed in the morning and afternoon on both days with plenty of dogs to shoot at distances from 150 to 550 yds. Pete is top notch and goes out of his way to ensure that his hunters are well taken care of. The lodging is comfortable and clean, and Pete's mom is an excellent cook. All in all our hunting group enjoyed our stay and had a great time. I will definitely be back soon! David Chmielewski

Just returned from an early rifle hunt with Sierra Blanca Outfitters....I took my 12 year old daughter along for the experience and we both had a great time. We hunted a relative new area only hunted for the past 2 years to my knowledge and it has produced some great success. We arrive late afternoon the day before my hunt began and were given free reign of the lodge. Peters Aunt Stella was tasked with keeping everyone fed and she did a great job. Peter came and talked with us and got us set on time to be ready and told us about his scouting trip the day before. We were lucky to have 2 guides take us out the first morning and we left at 4 am for the Unit we were hunting which was a bit of a drive. We got to visit and tell tall stories on the ride though and visiting with Peter and Norman Sr. was a pleasure........we covered a lot of ground that morning but didn't see any of the Bulls Peter had seen in the area the day before. Both guides worked at trying to Bugle and were excited to be able to show us the experience of the bugling Bulls, but it just wasn't happening yet. We made it back for breakfast/Lunch around Noon and decided to head back around 4pm. The ride again was a pleasure as we all got to tell some more tall stories of prior hunts and my daughter got quite the education on many topics. Its rained like crazy the whole way there though and had many of the roads too treacherous to travel on. I totally figured we would use this evening for scouting areas for the next days hunts as the weather was due to break up soon. And just as fast as it started raining it slowed then stopped and way off in the distance these guys spotted a couple of nice Bulls and the magic started. They were out of position for us to access them, but Peter and I hustled out into an area we thought they might appear in. Once again we spotted them, but again they were not in a good position for our needs. Peter threw out a couple of cow calls and it got their attention. I got set-up where I was hopeful they would come into my view at an area around 200yards away and after some patience and more great work by Peter and his cow calling he had them moving our direction. The Wind was not working in our favor and I was sure it was going to let them sense I was there before I got the opening, but the first Bull just made it halfway into a clearing and I had my scope on him immediately. He stopped and looked right at me, but it was at that time too LATE for him, and just like that on day 1 of my hunt my tag was filled with a nice 5x5 Bull......This was my 2nd time hunting with Peter and the first time was a much tougher late season hunt, but I did manage to fill my tag on the last day of my 5 day hunt with about 30 minutes of daylight left. So Although nothing is guaranteed I know from experience these guys put in the WORK and the RESULTS SHOW IT. We will be going back....Next time I will have a better plan as with the meat in my ice chests I had to rush home to get it to the processor. Next time I'm taking a refrigerator over so I can keep him cool and hang around the extra few days to enjoy the scenery and the home cooking. I know this post is long, but we just got home last night and its fresh on my mind. I know of 3 hunters in the Lodge while we were there. 1 got his Elk with a Bow the day we arrived....We got ours the next day with Rifle and another got his yesterday while we were driving home another Bow Hunter....I would say they have a pretty sporty percentage working so far this season. My only complaint is now I am back home and will be going back to WORK early......Thanks ALOT Peter and Norman for cutting my vacation short!
